Grace followed the dogs around the orchards and watched all the tractors as they worked. The whole time was spent OUTSIDE !! Grace has a joy for the small things in life, I love learning from her each day. Thanks Nanny and Poppa for a WONDERFUL VISIT. We missed you the second we left the long driveway.
