Grammae Fun Day

This year for Mother's day we gave grammae a certificate for "grammae fun day.". We had an adventure in Portland planned for her....

First we stopped at Elements Glass:


Bunny, James, and grammae all had the opportunity to blow their own glass floats! First, the instructor helped get some hot glass (James went first--here he is demonstrating that step):


The hot glass was rolled in colored glass chips, and then the glass was blown to the "float" shape. James picked orange and purple--Halloween colors. Here he is blowing the glass:


Next was Bunny's turn. She chose blue, purple, and white.


Grammae's turn! She was able to do most of it by herself.





The final step was to cut the float off the stick, seal it with more hot glass, and stamp it (grammae is demonstrating that here):


Gemma wanted to join in, poor girl. At least she got to watch, better than being left at home which was my first choice. ;o)


Then out to lunch. We showed grammae one of our favorite restaurants in the Pearl--Noodles &Co. Say mac and cheese!
