On Thursday this week Cornelia and I flew to Atlanta to rendezvous
with her grandparents and the Kennesaw Wingards. We arrived on Thursday evening and I spent
Friday with Cornelia and Grandma Connie and Granddad Roy. I flew back to San Francisco on Friday
evening.
Friday included a trip to the nearby playground and then
lunch at a McDonalds Playland. Cornelia demonstrated
for Grandma and Granddad her expectations for play. At the playground she led Granddad around --
and over, and under, and across -- the really quite impressive play structure. (Where were these play structures when I was a
kid??) She made sure that he understood
that she generally likes to try out at least two or three different swings
before she finds the right one.
At the McDonald’s Playland she made sure that Grandma and
Granddad would not be fooled by her age.
Even though the Playland signs said that it was for four-year-olds and
older, Cornelia immediately climbed into those big tubes to investigate. Silly me.
I worried at first about the possibility that she might get scared once
she was inside those tubes and out of sight or once she got too high, and then I’d
have to figure out how to extract her from the “Habitrail for Toddlers” Nope.
Her only point of frustration was figuring out which climbing tube led to
the top of the big slide tube.
Thanks to Grandma, Granddad and the Kennesaw Wingards for
a fun - albeit short - visit!
