Homeward bound

The wild week is over. Sure had fun though. Didn't do quite all the things on the list, but got most of them done and even some other adventures that weren't on the list. We missed the Museum and the school playground, but we got the Lion's Park playground. Gracie and Uncle Ed went to pet the Game Warden's mules down at the check station. They were gone, so the went up the hill by way of the road and came back down the trail. Long way for Gracie, but didn't seem to phase her a bit. Ed went out picket pin hunting and got five of them. Then Gracie found a dead critter in the yard which she thought must have been a picket pin. It turned out to be a dead mouse, so Ed had the job of disposing of it. Gracie thinks I need to shovel all the deer poop out of my yard.

Sunday was Church day and the day of GGma's Birthday party at the Irma. That was very nice and the girls were really good. The waitress even commented on how good they were. After the party there they went shopping at Wal-Mart. Even Pat and Gary went. They all had a good time and Gracie talked Aunt Patty into some toys for her and Libby. What a soft touch.

Monday we went to Hardin in the rain. Not too bad though. I did get to the house a few minutes before them and had time to put up some little things not meant for little girls. Got Spuddie's pictures put away and three other boxes of breakables before they got there. Ed helped me get the rest of the stuff put in the basement. Was a really hurried clean up job, so will take awhile to find it all again.

Ed had his cookout with his friends and the rest of us went to Pat's. Jen's MacDonald's toys were a big hit with the little girls. Jen is now their best cousin ever. Tuesday Ed took Gracie on another adventure, walking downtown then to the Park before we met Pat and Jen for coffee at MacDonalds, where the girls talked someone into getting new mermaid dolls. Jen got to show off her cousins to her co-workers. Mary got to visit briefly with a couple of her classmates during our time in Hardin. We did get some of Spuddie's treasures packed up for Mary. Then I had to come back to Meeteetse. They leave bright and early tomorrow morning.

  1. It was a very fun and fast time. Too bad the weather didn't cooperate. The little girls have the sniffles.

  2. We forgot to go to the Chocolatier. But, we did have lots of cakes and sweets, so we didn't miss much this time.

    Gracie and Libby had such a great time! They love thier Grandmas and Aunt Patty and Jennifer and Uncle Harry and Wubby!
