MORE OF THE WEEKEND!!!!!
This weekend was very busy. Not only were we in Terre Haute, but also Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Grandville, Michigan. Monday was our family picnic at Millennium Park in Michigan. Erin just loved holding Ava Joy. She was a joy - such a good baby.
Our two chefs (one working, one supervising).
The ladies setting up (notice the skinny one in the blue shirt).
The playground was close to our table, so the kids escaped with Emily watching over them.
Grace took a tumble.
Elyse helped her up.
Zachary and Caleb loved playing together. Caleb has issues with his shoes, but he was very diligent in picking them up, getting the sand out of them and putting them on again (on the RIGHT foot, no less - he is one smart cookie).
Our brave Grace with Elyse right behind her.
Caleb going up the bumpy slide. He wasn't afraid of anything.
Zachary making sure Caleb was o.k.
Elyse and her silly smile. Her shirt has a peek hold in the sleeve. When she got sunburned, it left a burned spot on her arm, but not where the rest of the sleeve was.
Grace going down the bumpy slide. Seems that would hurt a little.
Proud momma, Lacey, with Ava Joy.
Now the excitement for the day (Tuesday). PCS is getting air conditioning in the new part of the building. The men were having problems, so Tim told all the students to get their coats near them (it is 45 degrees today and very windy). Then it happened. The workers set the school on fire. Here is the truck in OUR driveway.
Two other trucks followed with several men to aid in putting the fire out. If you look closely, you can see the students standing in the parking lot getting very cold.
The fire was put out quickly. But, it left a huge hole in the wall. I guess the men have to put more work into the job because they ruined the wall. No one was hurt. All is well. Tim came home for lunch and he smelled like smoke. The whole school smells like smoke.
Hopefully, tomorrow will be just another day without any exciting things happening.

Whoa! Excitement at PCS! How in the world did they set the place on fire?!? Didn't they know what they were doing? How did Dad know it was going to happen? So many questions...it just doesn't make sense to me!
The workers were soldering copper pipe with a torch. At the transition from 2nd to 3rd hour students and teachers told me about a burning odor. I went outside and found the guys putting water on the wall where the pipe passed through it. They were sure it was out, but when I went back inside the smell was actually getting worse. That was when I told the teachers to have students get their coats. I suspected that a smoke detector was going to go off even though the fire was out.
As it turned out, the smoke detector never did go off. Instead the room where they were working filled with smoke. When the students and teacher came out, I grabbed a phone and paged for the school to evacuate then called the fire department.
I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!! I love it when the whole fam gets together like that. Looks like you guys had a good time. I am sure Dan and Luke are grill-experts and did an amazing job.
Geesh, busy day for the school. Yuck! Sorry Dad has to deal with that now, too. Hope the repairs go well? Yike.
I tried to respond to this post this morning, Mom, but our internet is finicky and kicks us off after about an hour of use. So my hour was up in the middle of responding to your post.
Love you!
