OMGoodness - I remember LOVING those watercolour books! Such a lovely page and fabulous that you linked your grandchild's activities with your own as a child. What a wonderful trip down memory lane for me, thank you.
What a wonderfully evocative page - I could picture you there at the playground bars. And what better activity than reading?! Superb page, thanks so much for joining us in this challenge.

Here's my entry for the May 2014 Journaling Challenge. My kids do/have done so many after school activities over the years I really didn't know which to focus on, so I went with a general over view.
