Greta the Great's big Adventure

It's quiet now, but that will end soon because Greta the Great is asleep downstairs, her long adventure almost over. Almost two weeks ago she headed west from New York with her whole family for a week in Illinois to see ethe relatives. She decided that central headquarters would be Nana's house. Mostly, because of Keto's willingness to share his couch with Dieter, the first child in Greta's family.
So Greta took little trips here and there to Glencoe to see her cousins, to Plainfield for more cousins, and shortest of all to the west side of Kankakee to see Poppa Howard and Grandma Sue. Greta has a lot of grandparents. And all this time she slept at Nana's.
Then at the end of one week Daddy, Amelia and Dieter went out and didn't come back to Nana's. She didn't know that they drove back to New York because Daddy had to work and Amelia had school and Dieter doesn't fly..it was his only way home.
The surprise for Greta was another trip! This time Aunt Donna and Poppa Don came to Kankakee and met Mom and Greta and loaded up a strange new BIG car and they were off on another adventure to Branson, Missouri where lots and lots of people sing and dance all the time...everywhere you go there you have to sit and watch people sing and dance!
Except at the hospital. There they tell you are sick. Well, they told Aunt Donna she was sick, but she knew that because she is a nurse. And the doctor who saw Greta said she had ear infection in both ears...Mommy had to be real strong to be in charge of this crowd!
So back on the road again to Nana's house! Greta was so sleepy that Mommy carried her from the car to bed, where she is right now. Poor Aunt Donna had to drive Poppa Don and her self to Joliet from here.
And the big finale to this adventure? Greta the Great gets to fly for the first time back to New York, and Daddy, and Amelia, and Dieter, and her own bed.
That Greta the Great gets around for a two year old!
