My girls and I joined two neighbors (plus their girls) in going to visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder home and museum today. Mine are the feet in the brown sandals at about 6 o'clock!
All of the girls (ranging from 7-10yr old) have read at least two books (okay... my girls have only read two of the seven books. The other girls -- all 10 yrs old -- have read all seven), so we thought it was a great girls' trip since we are so close to Mansfield, Missouri. Quite a crooked trip, complete with car sickness, but worth it!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from today:
At the farmhouse
I just loved this outside light
At the Rock House
My girls
After the fun of a girls' day out, we didn't stop! After dinner, I walked with my favorite 8 year old (and the rest of the family, but their feet aren't in the picture) to a park about a mile from home.
Most of us ran... including this guy! He was great (until on the way back... about 1/4 mile from the house, he had meltdown and wanted to be picked up, but that's okay. He was great.
Said meltdown...
While at the park, my feet got some much needed time in the swing :-)
Tonight I am thankful for:
1) Rob, who doesn't think twice when I tell him I want to leave at 8am on a Saturday with the girls and leave him (with the boys) -- just because.
2) Finding some yummy marinades on sale at the commissary. Gives Rob's favorite (insert sarcasm here...) chicken quite a variety. He may even like it now :-) Sometimes...
3) Wonderful neighbors (who may think I'm weird for taking a picture of their feet, but go along with it anyway)
4) A night with nice weather and not too many bugs at the park!
5) Harry Potter weekend on ABC Family... and only five more days until I {once again} stay up WAY too late to watch a midnight showing of the new and final Harry Potter movie :-) I know... I'm a dork :-)

the brown shoes at 1 oclock - those are neat! the meltdown - did he pee pee in his pants or spill water on himself? or, maybe he is hot. i just notice it because i have one (no, two) potty training.
that looks like a really neat place to visit. turns out missouri is pretty cool, huh?
