Saturday. Both girls have dance lessons but Peyton finished by 10 AM and was home by the time we arrived at the house. She, her Dad, and her grandparents have spent the last few hours playing games. Pass the Pigs. Peyton was scorekeeper! Then Dominoes. (We had to read the rules because none of us had actually played the game before although some of us have spent happy hours playing with domino tiles.) Followed by Go Fish then War. It really got rousing when we played four way War with four decks! Ultimately we ended up declaring Peyton the winner based on the height of her stack when we ran out of time. Now she and her Dad are on their way to pick up Riley then go get Peyton’s hair ready for her big date tonight while we grandparents rest up for tonight’s date with Riley. A fun note is that Peyton couldn’t find a top with a button front so she chose to wear the forty year old heirloom blue plaid flannel shirt that her Nana sewed for her Grandpop!
Burgh House Hampstead
Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.
