The Nanny

The kids just had a wonderful time with their Nanny when visiting Texas. This was partly due to the fact that she is simply a truly lovely person. It was also partly due to the fact that she took her prerogative as a grandmother to spoil them rotten and cater to their every whim quite seriously... So the kids always had someone to push their swings:

 Or read them books:

Or put bird feed out for the squirrels to steal:  

But it was not all one-sided. Very occasionally, the Nanny managed to harness that bond into something useful - especially when she needed someone to help her with the gardening!
