Spring Break Cont'd

Saturday was our last day with Super G. We wanted to make the most of it so we painted nails while we listed to G.C.

Then we decided to check out another museum. This one was not quite as "fun" as the other, but we sure learned a lot and enjoyed it as well. Here are a few activities we did there:

 went in a "magical garden" with a maze and all,

worked in an apple orchard,

played in mirrors,

played with pulleys,

worked in a radio station,

did some news casting,

played some musical instruments,

went fishing and spent some time on a boat,

and played with magnets.

When we came out of the museum we smelled hamburgers from a nearby restaurant so we decided to drive all the way to Southbend again to eat at Red Robin. (It was yummy, and I used to love that place, but it hasn't impressed me as much the last three times I've been there. I think I am over it.) We had a good time there and then spent some time at Target. When we got home we got Super G packed and tried to get the kids in bed. J was "wired higher than a Georgia Pine" and M had a complete melt down when it was time to hug Grandmomma good night. She did NOT want to say good bye and she did NOT want her to leave. It was sweet and so sad. After several minutes of tears I suggested to her that we say a prayer. She said OK and that she would say it. Through sobs, she asked that she not be too sad, that Grandmomma would be safe on her plane, and that she be able to see her again very very soon. After that I was the one crying, but she calmed down immediately. It was a precious moment for a mom to see her baby exercising faith and witnessing a "tender mercy" from God in answering a little girl's prayer instantly.My M is full of faith and so much love. In the morning she shed some more tears until she saw the surprise G had left her. After that she seemed to adjust just fine. Here she is playing with her new outfits:

Sunday we played with our new toys, changed outfits about six times, and watched General Conference. It was so uplifting! After the last session we went for a walk and then came home to do our usual bedtime routine. Now we are back to the grind of our daily lives: school, work, house work, shopping, etc. But we are so grateful for the time we had with Grandmomma and the memories we made with her. She is a very special woman, so wonderful to us, and we love and miss her very much.
