The Adventure at Jellystone Comes to an End Today, Thursday!

Last night Samantha decided she wanted to sleep on the sofa.  I was afraid that was a mistake, because of how much she moves in her sleep.  I told her I thought she might end up on the floor.  She said, "no problem".  

They must have been exhausted, for they are always early risers, usually around 6:15.  This morning they only came to our room around 7:35 - wow! Samantha told us that in the middle of the night she woke up on Katelyn's bed on the floor - surprise!!!  Katelyn didn't wake up and Samantha got back on the sofa and went right to sleep - hallelujah!  

It was another pancake morning, even for Grandma who had one of her favorites, pumpkin pancakes.  It was a cooler morning but sunny and perfect for eating outside.  I went inside to do the dishes and pack up things for our departure.  Ken had lots of things to do outside.  When we were all disconnected and almost completely loaded the girls asked to play one more round of mini golf.  So, we walked there and played the 18 holes.

When we returned to Wilbur, we loaded a few last minute outside things and were on our way to Lititz by noon.  Ken followed the girls and I home.  We were back to the apartment by 1, unloaded a few necessary items, put in a load of wash, and then went to Roma Pizza for lunch.  We stopped at the shop where Ken had bought my birthday present, for the girls wanted to see what other interesting wind catchers they had on display.  Then to Candyology for the girls to choose a special treat.



These girls are so special!


When we got back to the apartment we had time to play 2 or 3 rounds of Uno before leaving to take Samantha and Katelyn back home to Morgantown.  We arrived there at 3:30 and they were happy to see their Mommy.  We got to see the dresses they will wear for their 1st day of school on Monday - so cute!  

Ken and I got to Lititz at 5 and both of us were feeling extremely exhausted. I put in another load of wash. Ken took an hour nap and I relaxed by playing a couple of games of Pop Words and working on the blog.

We watched the Evening News, since we hadn't seen or heard any current events since Saturday (probably didn't miss too much that was really new) and then I put on my SAS and we went for a walk to the downtown Farmer's Market. We shared some delicious beans and rice with sauteed onions.  Then we continued our walk.  Back home and Ken had a nice chat with his sister and brother-in-law.  Dwane had surgery on Tuesday and had returned home today. He is doing well and the surgeon was very pleased with how the robotic surgery went, but they are still waiting for some pathology reports.  

I had a nice chat with my Curvette friend, Polly, and then did more work on this blog.

By 9 I was ready for bed.  We had such a good time with our granddaughters for the last 5 days and realize how exhausting it can be.  We did create wonderful memories for all of us and that is what it is all about!!!

Now I just need to sleep!!!!
