Tuesday-Nani & Papa got here before school got out. Rebecca was shy at first. We looked at pictures of them holding her when she was younger. That really helped her to become comfortable with them faster. The older kids ran home from school. We had a HUGE pot of creamy chicken chowder for dinner and played.
Wednesday-Ammon & Papa went to the library to check out books. Corrine & Grace got all dressed up for their dinner with activity day girls. That night Simeon got his Arrow of Light award.
Thursday-Nani & mom went to craft night at the church. Dad & Papa played Wii with the kids. Johann and I got to go on a date to the grocery store!
Friday-Nani & Papa watched the kids while Johann and I went to 3 parent teacher conferences in the morning. In the afternoon we went to the raptor center at Lake McBride. On the road there Papa spotted a dear. We went on a hike and found 2 deer right next to the trail. We walked down to the lake and found alot of fossils in the rocks. Tonight Johann and Simeon went on a campout with the scouts. We had pizza for dinner. Corrine & Ammon put on a movie night complete with punching tickets, snacks and LOTS of rule, like no laughing or blowing your noses! We watched Tron Legacy. Then they had a sleepover in the boys room.
Saturday we went to the John Deere Pavilion. They were working on the project "Can Do". They had 40,000 lbs of canned food they were making into a life size combine. Half the area was taken up and the other half was busy. We left and went the the John Deere Headquarters. We climbed on a combine and lots of other tractors.
We then went to the Niabi Zoo since it was free. It was getting chilly by then. As we ate lunch we could hear the lion roaring. When we got over to it they were asleep. He lifted his head up and looked around, then layed back down. We saw 2 sheep head butting. We feed the goats and fish. The wolves were really active.
Sunday we went to church. We had Johann's family over for a super yummy Thanksgiving dinner.
Monday-Nani & I went shopping. Papa took Simeon & Corrine to Sycamore mall to walk around and get Dairy Queen ice cream. Corrine & Simeon got small blizzards and they were bigger then Papa's medium sundae! They went to the Dollar store. Simeon told me he saw a container of premixed cinnamon and sugar. When they got home Ammon was having some Wii time and we all watched or played with him.
Tuesday-Nani, Johann and I went to the Nauvoo Temple. Rebecca played with Joel, then came home before the big kids got home. Papa met the big kids at home. Simeon taught Papa how to play "Garbage". We had homemade carmel snack mix and hot cocoa. Pretty Pretty Princess was played by Papa and the girls. Ammon played the knight, princess & ogre game with Papa.
If Papa asked Rebecca "Am I your buddy?" She says "No, I'm YOUR buddy." She said lots of "I love you's."
