It was a hot July day when we decided took off on a adventure to see Grandma at her place. Grandma lives on a little village called Greenwood, which is just a short drive from Memphis. We packed up the car with plenty of treats and hit the road. The little sister seemed so excited, she wouldn't stay still! The drive was a bit so, we went the time with stories. When we finally got there, we were all happy. Grandma ran to meet us at the door with a big kiss. It was so good to be back her.
