15 hours to Tyler
20. juli 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
We made it! 15 hours later.

Ellen and her family left the house at 12:20am, however Elizabeth didn’t like the fact that she was being left behind. Annie woke up. Crying. You fill in the blanks.

Ellen had to leave, so brought down 2 screaming “babies” to our basement room.

We finally calmed them down. Glenn and I decided to go ahead and leave from Fisher. We left at 2am. Needed to drop the library book off and away we go.

We stopped at McDonald’s for a burrito. It was not HOT yet.

At one point all 3 kids were asleep for an hour of so. They were all good.

We stopped at another McDonalds for lunch.we pulled into Eagles Nest at 5:30. We were tired! I gave them all a bath. Washed hair and rolled up Annie’s hair in sponge curlers.Læs mere

Haircut snd catching up
21. juli 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 95 °F
We slept in and got caught up.

Glenn went to the car wash to get it clean. The two oldest helped clean the inside.

I took Elizabeth to get her hair cut. And then to TJMax to buy some pjs.

We had cantaloupe tomatoes and fresh peas for dinner.Læs mere

Fun day at Grammie’s
22. juli 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F
I loved rolling the girl’s hair up.

They love the fresh peaches too!

The SS teacher said that Annie was the sweetest thing. And Elizabeth’s teacher said she answered most of the question.

I googled to find what restaurants allowed children to eat free. Yeah for Dickies bar-b-que. After a Sunday afternoon nap, we played, ate dinner, then at fresh peaches out on the patio. We cooled off by the spicket of water. Good day1Læs mere

Bicycle, Breakfast and Beauty Shop
24. juli 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 97 °F
We had to get up early to bicycle before it got HOT. The girls loved the bike ride at a near by park. We had a breakfast picnic.

Then we stopped by Sports Clips to get Amanda’s hair cut and then Annie.

Annie and Elizabeth attended evening VBS at Shiloh church of Christ Judy down the street.Læs mere

Full day of traveling
28. juli 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
We left Tyler at 5:45am. The girls were great getting into the van. They kinda slept until sunrise.

We had a long break in Paris at the McDonald’s where I took the curlers out of their hairs and put it up in ponytails. Precious.

We took the left over pancakes and burritos and had them for lunch at the roadside Welcome Center in Joplin, Missouri. There was even a nice playland.

We’re staying in the basement of Dan and Nancy Shotts home who happen to be out of town. Ideal location and nice setup with 2 bedrooms downstairs. Perfect. It even comes with toys.

We brought all our sheets/towels and bedding.Læs mere

Full Day in Kansas City
29. juli 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
It started out with an attempt to look for local garage sales. We struck out.

Then we made our way over to Blue Springs to see Gary and Pamela Barden (friends from MBI) and then Bill and Jennifer Hildenbrand who we work with member care. They really loved the grandkids.

We got a note to drop by Phil and Lori O’Day who fed us lunch and had great conversation. We even had a concert by 2 MKs from Russia.

We were down to 1 diaper, so we stopped by the grocery store and supper supplies for a picnic dinner at the park.

Near the Shotts is this perfect playground that we found. The girls enjoyed it.

Next, bath time and curling Elizabeth’s and Annie’s hair. They’re slipping on a pallet in the guest room.

I’ve never done this before: as we were going to bed, Amanda had pooped in her diaper and was still sleeping. So, we picked her up, laid her on our makeshift changing table, aka ping pong table. She stayed asleep! Mission accomplished.Læs mere

Full Sunday of activities
30. juli 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Today after church we went to Fritz train restaurant downtown. The girls loved it. You place your order by making a phone call, then the hamburger order are delivered by train. The hamburger wasn’t that good, it was more for the atmosphere. There’s a Cho-Cho train that goes around near the ceiling and makes a loud whistle alarming the folks in the restaurants. Elizabeth, Annie and even 1 year old Amanda loved watching the train and hearing the train whistle blow. A win win.

We made a quick, trip to the new airport in hopes to see some planes, but the new terminal doesn’t have a place to see airplanes parked at the gate, unless you are inside security. I then texted Candace to see if our girls could play with her girls. She suggested a splash pad in Liberty, MO. So, we drove back to the house and I grabbed the girls’ swimming suits. We had a blast there. It was hot, but the girls cooled down, made some new friends and we shared the picnic table with a Mexican family there celebrating a kid’s birthday. They shared their cupcakes with the girls.

After swimming, I texted the Beuhlers to see if we could stop and visit them before heading to the. Shots house. We visited with Heather Hower too. Bob and Sharla are some welcoming and had just the right toys for the girls.

I changed the girls to their sleeping pjs and as soon as we got home, they went straight to bed. Their supper was all the snacks at the pool and donuts and bananas that Sharla fed them. They went fast to sleep. Tomorrow = traveling day back to Illinois.Læs mere

Hannibal and Mississippi
31. juli 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F
We had breakfast with Doug and Gloria Livingston. They loved how obedient the grand daughters were. They were good, especially since it was a Starbucks.

It rained most of the morning. Glenn stopped at auto zone to get some wipers but it was too expensive, so 100 miles down the road we bought some.

It cleared up as we pulled into Hannibal. We walked around and had a picnic with all the left over foods.Læs mere

Returning home
2. august 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 102 °F
We left Ellen’s place around noon time, only to discover that I had one of Amanda’s outfits in my purse. Solution solved: we left it at the Dairy Queen snd Ellen picked it up the next day.

We got tired and pulled off in Mt Vernon, Illinois and decided to do our two afternoon Zoom calls from the hotel room. Rest and leave the next day. We had a good dinner also.

We pulled into Tyler around 6pm on Wednesday. We had driven through some hard rain most of the morning.

Our home seems to empty without the 3 little one’s running through. We are tired but feel blessed at the same time.Læs mere
