I was able to be with all my family for the past week in Branson, Missouri. Such a delight to see everyone and spend time together. My grands are growing so much and I truly enjoy watching them try new things, explore the world, and gain new skills and interests. Sharing a condo together provided lots of special times and meals.
Just having small chats keeps our connection strong. ( They didn't know I provided a bag of bags for them. In each smaller bag labeled for the next few weeks before school begins has supplies for various projects. I also included a new slushie maker for them on those hot days.)
Plus we explored the area around Branson. We enjoyed Table Rock Lake and picnicked there. And we got to do new and amazing things like a cave tour, an awesome aquarium, and a climbing gym. The pool was visited daily.
I did stop at a cross stitch store for some new patterns and supplies. ( I am trying to just use up my quilting ones and didn't want any temptations.)
Missouri is so different from other Midwest states. I cannot get over the hills and valleys: the steepness, oh my! And the views are spectacular.
And now I am back home.
