We had such a fun week - one of the reasons I love that we homeschool. Grandma "E" came from Wednesday through Tuesday and we dropped school book work for the week to enjoy some field trips/sight seeing. This is just a list of things we did so we can look back and reminisce.
Wednesday after piano lessons we headed over to the St Louis airport to pick her up. We had a few minutes to wait so we headed down to the "cell phone" lot and parked where we could watch the planes arrive. We came home to supper (I had left the 3 oldest home so they could get a little school in and make supper) and then headed to Bible Study.
Thursday we were planning to just hang around the house, but we saw that the weather was going to change for the worse by Friday so we decided to change our plans to visit the pumpkin patch from Friday to Thursday. So we headed up to Arthur to the pumpkin patch and stopped at a few of the stores in that area.
Friday, Todd had the day off of work and we went up to the stores at Tuscola and then up to Champaign. It was just a nice relaxing day.
Saturday was Virginia M.'s funeral - she had "finished her race" well so it was a very helpful service and a nice visit with our friends. (It seems like every time Grandma E comes there ends up being a funeral...)
Sunday we had a nice meeting in the morning, a relaxing afternoon and then a gospel meeting in the evening.
Monday we mostly hung around home and had fun with grandma.
Tuesday we headed back to St Louis and spent the day at the science museum before taking her back to the airport.
It all went by too quickly, but we really enjoyed her time with us!
