Sunday and Monday

Yesterday, we went to the wave pool again so I didn't bring my camera. On Sunday, after church, we released two monarch butterflies (we've release four monarchs and one swallowtail this year) and we took naps.

On Monday we went to MOA it seems that my in-laws cannot visit without going there. We seldom go there.

Grammy wanted to take the girls to the American Girl Store Bistro.

Naturally, the kids wanted to ride the rides in the park.

The Chinese Tourism Council was giving away a free trip for a family of four to China. They also had a series of performances scheduled throughout the day.

We watched some Shaolin Kung-fu

A fashion show...

And Chinese dance...

Honestly, the whole thing was a bit cheesy, but the kids enjoyed it and it gave us a place to sit and take a break when we waited for other members of our party.

K had herself a dog made at the Build-a-Bear Workshop.

Four days to go and Grampy, Grammy, and A will fly back to California. Then we can return to the sweetness of routine life and start school.

Visit to Historical Farm

On Saturday, while the guys (my hubs and FIL) went to get the piano I found for the girls, I took every one else to a local historical farm.

horseback riding with their cousin

Rachel graciously led A around the rink for about ten minutes.

Then Grampy and A waited and watched while the girls rode.

In the end, I got to ride too - but I don't have photos of that.

Today - our beloved Rachel is moving into college. However, she hopes to be home most weekends since the college she is attending is only about half an hour away.
