Nifty Nine!

Today is Grace's actual birthday.  To celebrate Dad took the day off of work and we went on a field trip.  I had one thing in mind but Lu wanted to do something different so we went with her plan.  We went to the National Aquarium, which we love and then she chose to go out to eat at PotBelly, her 2nd favorite restaurant.  Subway being her first favorite.

3. Grace is musical and can pick out songs on many different instruments.

4. Grace has a good sense of humor.

5. Grace likes to be busy and thrives on having lots of activities.

6. Grace likes electronics.
