The difficult part is thinking about the gift for the granddaughter turning twelve. Once the decision is made, the shopping was pure pleasure. Abigail's birthday will be in May, but we will not be able to attend, so a few weeks ago, at a family dinner, we all decided to celebrate early and give her the gift while we were still in Texas. It seemed to be more fun. The problem? What to give her. We have been thinking about it ever since.
Yesterday, right after lunch, the girls and Suzanne arrived at the lake. Within five minutes, they were in bathing suits and out in the kayaks. Last year we gave the twins a kayak each for their birthday, so along with the poke boat, they played with the three boats for at least two hours. It was great fun, followed by a warm up in the hot tub. It did not require a genius to figure out that four girls need four boats. Our birthday gift to Abigail only required a shopping trip.
First thing this morning, Ken and I went shopping, and arrived home with the gift and of course, presented it to her. Right after lunch, all four girls headed down to the lake. First thing they do is go for a long paddle. Next they play games, all right in our little cove. The four adults sat in the shade enjoying the show. Pure pleasure for a grandmother.
