Our day..

For a change, Harold was home for Spring Break. We had planned on several places to go with the girls, but as things go we weren't able to do the original plans due to pain I was/am having (now we know it's a fractured rib). The good thing is, we never tell the girls our plans till last minute so there's less disappointment if their mother is falling apart and can't make it! We decided to go to Jackson for the day. Harold treated us to "Logans" for lunch because the girls liked the thought of eating peanuts and throwing the hulls on the floor. Madge ate one peanut so there was 1 hull by our table.

As we finished our meal Madge asked what we were going to do. I said, "something". She smiled and asked if we were going to the Science Museum and we said yes and would try to get to the AG Museum also. Madge was thrilled! I wasn't sure about JoBea but turns out, she was excited too.

When we pulled up, there was a sign stating the Bones exhibit was going on.

Walking on through, there were fish....

snakes....

crawfish...

and even a dancing turtle!

I think he was just really nervous from sharing the same tank with those LARGE fish.There were many birds to see, our favorite, of course, is the bald eagle

and a couple more were my favorites, I guess cause they look like me on a bad hair day.

The girls took it all in.

As we made our way out, Madge was attacked by a bear!

Harold rushed in to save her...

and soon found himself under attack.

only to realize the bear just wanted....

Harold's' glasses.

All this "life saving action" made Madge hungry so she decided to snack with a new friend .

(isn't Madge quite the actress?!)


Then it was on to the AG Museum.

We questioned if Madge could get in....

beings it was a warm day, we didn't make her go sit in the van.

Harold dreamed of the planes he always wanted to fly and never got the chance...

The girls didn't leave one stone unturned.

They were curious as to what an outhouse looked like, but they opened the door with such caution as if something were going to grab them. You can see how far away they "admired" it.

The one place that really stood out to me here, was the old Church. Oh how I love the old ones.

Just walking inside of them, even tho they aren't being used anymore, you can sense the reverence for the Church, unlike so many Churches today.

It was a BEAUTIFUL day to walk around. The newly blossoming trees set off some things in an awesome way. The beauty of God's creation with the beauty of the Church.

We were more rushed here due to it getting closer to closing time, but we made use of the time we had. After visiting the general store, we headed back to the van. I was terribly worn out....but a good worn out feeling. Anytime I can spend time with just Harold and the girls is a blessing. We do enjoy each others company when we get the chance to all be together.

I thank the Lord for allowing us this precious time together and I pray that you too will find/make your time.

Have a Christ filled family day!

God bless you and yours......
