Another Cold Day in PA

Ken and I were up at 7 and got ready to go to church.  We arrived there at 8:50 and sat with Jamie, Dane, Sue, Dan, Matt, and Nicole.  There was a tremendous message, meaningful music, and communion. After church we went with 2 other couples from our life group for breakfast.  It was a nice time of fellowship.

Then Ken and I drove to Costco for a few items, including another rotisserie chicken, which has become a staple during these 3 weeks at home.  We were back home by 2:30 and both of us needed rest before Sam and Katelyn arrived to stay overnight!  Ken deboned the chicken while I vacuumed and then it was time to take a short nap.  Lanie's family arrived at 4:15.  Today is Bob's birthday, so we are having Samantha and Katelyn overnight so Lanie and Bob can enjoy an evening out and a morning with no little ones!

We had so much fun with Samantha and Katelyn.  We colored, made a potholder (remember doing that as a child?), played with Legos, ate a delicious supper that PaPa made while we played, and then watched 102 Dalmations.  The girls were in bed by 9 after an afternoon and evening of being incredible.  They really were a joy!  I went to bed at the same time after reading them a story!

Samantha was up at 6 to go to the bathroom, but got back into bed with Katelyn and the 2 of them only came to our room at 6:45.  We allowed them to watch The Lion King while we got ready and made breakfast.  The request was for Mickey Mouse pancakes and their wish was my command.  After breakfast we played and colored.  Then we drove to Lititz Springs Park to feed the ducks and enjoy the playground.  A train came by and we were able to go to the fence and see it up close and personal.  The lady conductor saw the girls and opened her window to wave to them and ring the bell.  So nice of her!  After lunch, we drove the girls home and we arrived there around 2:15.

After leaving their house, Ken and I headed to the Public Library to use our computers for doing this blog and more research for our trip out west.  We want to lock in the dates for certain areas, check out the temperatures as we go, and then make reservations.  We have used almost all our data on our phones and computers for this period and we have 4 days remaining.  Not sure what happened since we have 10 gb.  We did talk to Verizon and they added another 1gb for this month and will add another one per period for the next year at no additional charge!  Wow, how nice!

We left the library around 5:30 and went back home.  Had large salads for dinner and then watched The Voice.  I spent time working on Katelyn's album, but I did not turn on the WiFi.  That is a no no!!!!!
