FIELD TRIPS!!!!!

Today we went to the Graue Mill and Museum. Our library has free tickets, so we didn't have to pay for anything. It was very interesting. Most of the stuff was behind a rail, so we couldn't touch or play with the things. We took pictures of some of the stuff though.

Wouldn't you love a dining room like this? I would...


Our shower in VH is kind of cruddy, but it is much better than this one:
Elyse got to try on some clothes, she loves dress up. She just finished reading "Little House on the Prairie" and this outfit fits right in.

I wonder what kind of bird made this nest?

Spiders are a little big around here - I guess we are farther in the south than we thought.

Zachary liked the arrow heads. Lawson thought they were teeth.

Elyse made us a cherry pie (brown felt over red pom-poms).

After the tour, we wanted to go to Portillo's for expensive and amazing hotdogs. The GPS directed us to 2001 Spring Rd., but Portillo's wasn't there. We ended up in a fancy McD's instead. While eating our lunch, a lady walked by that looked very familiar. Since we were an hour from home, I didn't think I would know her. When she got her food order, she came back by and said, "I thought I recognized that pink shirt." Elyse had on her PCS Cheerleading t-shirt. The lady was Karen Koonce from PCS. Her daughter was a cheerleader with Elyse last year. Small world, huh?
