Sweet cousin Jacob sent an early Easter present to the girls~ sidewalk chalk with stencils for Merritt and a "lemon" twist for Morgan. It's the modern day version. Back when I was a child the ball was shaped like a lemon and therefore was called the lemon twist! Not sure what they call it today but Morgan liked the name lemon twist so the tradition lives on! Amy and I spent hours in our driveway jumping over that plastic lemon! We got really good at it too! In case you are wondering, lemon twisting is like riding a bike....you never forget! My lungs gave out this afternoon before my lemon twisting did! Morgan got the hang of it really quick! I can see Morgan and Merritt spending just as many hours in our driveway hopping over that "lemon" as their Momma and Aunt Amy did!Tuesday, March 31, 2009

ReplyDeleteI love the look of determination on Morgan's face{would love pictures of you trying} She does everything successfully! A Jane
I watched her do it this evening and she is a whiz.
ReplyDeleteAnd she's a lefty! Must be because her Mom is her coach! Glad she's enjoying it, even if it isn't a "real" lemon :-) Tell her we're gonna have a lemon twist throwdown the next time I come to visit!
