My post today is about Monday, but I will note that today was a great day with our friend Luke here. We had our regular morning routine of Bible Study and then the afternoon was full of naps and outside playtime.

Yesterday after my mom's trip to the doctor we all went to pick up Ella and then made our way to the science museum. The kids were so excited to have Nannie and Pops with them that they could hardly stand themselves. We started with a picnic and then we quickly took Nannie and Pops around the entire museum showing them all the fun things to see. Landon's favorite was rolling the balls with Pops trying to knock teeth out of the game, Ella's was probably playing operation with Pops and puzzles with Nannie, Eli's was being able to run around and push buttons, climb on things or play in the water. At the end of our visit we headed outside to take a walk to see the animals. Landon and Ella chased the otters around like they were swimming in their own pond. Eli took it all in and enjoyed a ride back on Pops shoulders. It was about 2 hours past his nap time so he was just about asleep by the time we made it to the van. I think about 20 more steps and he would have been out in this picture. I really don't think a trip to the science museum will ever be the same since going with Nannie and Pops.

At night we try to each talk about a "rose and a thorn" for the day while going around the table. Tonight Ella's rose was going to the science museum with Nannie and Pops - Landon said he guessed that she was doing her rose for the week. Enjoy the pictures.
