In town, Out of Town

How do you know Papa Jim is visiting? You find this when you walk into your livingroom:
He puts stuffed animals on the ceiling fans and then he and the kids turn the fan on and see which animal hangs on the longest. I’ll tell you one thing…Elmo doesn’t stand a chance against the big pink elephant!!
This weekend, Papa Jim, G’ma Barb and Jill came to town to go to “The Lion King” with me at the Civic Center. It was a fantastic show….words cannot describe how amazing the “animals” and how talented the performers were. It really was quite the show and I am so glad we went to it. Other than the show, we also did some shopping and hung out. It was fun to have them here and of course the kids enjoyed the extra activity around the house.
While they were in town visiting, Jason was heading out of town to work at a trade show in Grand Island, Nebraska. It was about a 4.5 hour trip from Des Moines. The trip out there Saturday was smooth sailing, but unfortunately the trip home on Monday night wasn’t! Jason got stuck in Omaha for the night and came the rest of the way Tuesday morning. He was glad to be back home and the kids & I were REALLY glad to have him back home
