My grandpa has just recently, at the age of 95, moved to an assisted living complex. He was sad to lose some of his independence but this was a much needed change for him. It is an awesome place. He has his own little studio apartment that someone comes and cleans for him and checks in on him everyday. He also had lots of possibilities for new friends to make.
A few weeks ago they held a fair for the families of all the residents. It was pretty cool - and all FREE. They had pony rides, petting zoo, food, games, clown for balloon animals, and live entertainment. We only got to be there for a little bit of it since Sara and Evan had piano stuff going on for the first part, but they had a fun time. Sometimes I wish I could hire a photographer to follow us around everywhere and take pictures so I could both enjoy it live and get to relive it through pictures. This time I opted to keep the camera put away (mostly) and just have fun with them. (Really, the kids had had fun and I got to follow them around while toting their goodie bags and making sure I knew where all my kids were). It was nice of the place to put on such a huge party for the kids. They really did a great job and Grandpa (and I'm sure the other residents as well) enjoyed watching all the kids running around.
Some of us went in to see his new place
