Packing up with the help of a two year old

As usual we waited until the last minute to start loading up the coach to leave. We were scheduled to leave out on Sunday morning, September 20. Well, we did not start putting stuff in the coach until after noon on Saturday. During this we were asked to look after our 2 and ½ year old granddaughter, Cadence. We love to have any of the girls at our house so we said okay.

We had a good time with Cadence and she seemed to enjoy herself. She is always very shy when she first comes around us but it did not take very long for her to warm up to us and started playing with the kids toys we keep for them. While I would stay with Cadence, Joanne would get a load of stuff together to go out to the coach. Then she’d stay with Cadence while I took that load out and put it away. A couple of times Jo would go out to the coach and Cadence would follow, climbing up in the driver’s seat to play like she was the driver. She also managed to “adjust” every knob on the dash board so that they all had to be reset before we could pull out on Sunday.

As it turned out we got it all done and still had a good time with this precious little girl. We were able to pull out about 9:45 Sunday morning without a hitch and so far have not found anything that we forgot. Of course, if we ever do forget to bring anything it is no big deal. We decided not to worry about those type of things since we know there is a Wal-Mart everywhere we go.
