Last week Gma and Gpa Phillips made a trip to WA to relieve Tara and Greg from parental duty. For four glorious days Greg and Tara were footloose and fancy free to spend with friends in Idaho. After the events of last year, this was a much needed, and deserved getaway. We had so much fun playing with Maren, Liv and Layne. If I could give our tour of duty a name it would be, "Team Gma Gpa". Our outings consisted of going to the movies, manicures for the girls, Toys R Us shopping, playing at the park, going for walks in the "forest", a trip to the beach, dining out (pizza), picnics and blowing lots of bubbles. Amid the fun were also the neccessities, ie., planning, bathing, dressing, eating and dishes. Dale was the chief dishwasher and babysitter. I tried my best at multi-tasking the rest. I've decided that there is a difference between mult-tasking as a grandma and multi-tasking as a mom. No question, mom's win, hands down. I guess we passed the true test of our babysitting skills......Maren, with a coat over her head, cried most of the way home after dropping us off at the airport. We love and miss our little grandaughters so much!
