In The Land Of Lost Toys

P1270984

Spent most of Sunday at the Krupp farm in Ohio, the final resting spot of the trunk of lost children toys. They got some awesome stuff in stock including Steamboat Willie era Mickey mouse figurines, a strung-up wooden dog on wheels and the original set of building blocks. And Yuula played with them all.

She got to spend some time meeting her great-grandparents as well. We all agreed she'll have great-grandma's hair and great-grandpa's vigor for siphoning gasoline.

The girls played so well together into the evening, when Charlotte decompressing first around sundown, Yuula being rocked into a coma and Madison passing out in the midst of all the adult conversation.

But the Krupp elders had the entertainment down. They regaled their audience with tales of canine murder, what they both look naked and how Grandma Krupp came a foot in the door away from getting arrested for harassment last Friday. There's no slowing down on the farm.

Cool To Be Greats

It's a cool thing to be able to meet your great-grandparents. Yuula can say that now. It's cool to meet your great-grandchildren, but after 14, the novelty may wear thin. We learned color coasters make great baby toys, aunt Sandy told me off with some pig and hen limerick and great-grandparents still got jokes. We took many photos, some tender moments ensued and we all left each other wanting more. Always go out on a high people.
