Brightening up the retirement village

10 Comments

We went to visit my mother in law at the retirement village with miss 2.6.
We made a cuppa and sat in the dining area next to the dance floor. Miss 2.6 loves to dance and her grandma loves to watch.
A few minutes later people started arriving, there was an aerobics,/physio class about to start. We moved our fIghter off the dance floor so they could set up. The instructor came and asked if our daughter could join in.
Of course we said yes. Well miss 2.6 and the elderly had an absolute ball. I’m sure there class has never been so lively and my daughter loved the attention. When it was time to go she blew them all kisses and was invited to come again. It was awesome

Oh! You should bring her more often there! She surely cheered up everyone, not only her grandma. Well done!

  We do go frequently but usually on a weekend. This was a first time on a weekday.She interacts with a few residents there, not just her grandma. We all enjoy it
