Spring Break- Day 8

I had a wonderful, busy, exhausting, eXcITiNg adventure today. And i am tired because of it. We took the girls to the Grand Rapids Children's Museum. There was sooooo much there for Jaely to do. My mistake- i told her last night that we were going on an adventure today, but that we were keeping our destination a surprise. She really wanted to go to McDonalds, so i guaranteed her that it was better than McDonalds. Well, i think that caused too much excitement in that little heart of hers because she could not settle down last night. She was in her bedroom at 7:30, but did not fall asleep until a little after 11:00! 11:00!!!! And then she woke up at her normal 7:20 time. So we took a very tired bug on an adventure. If she was well rested, she would have investigated more and stayed longer at each activity. Instead, she wandered around from place to place never really settling for more than a couple minutes. Let's just say it was a busy morning.

By 12:00 we were all over stimulated and ready to go. . . so we headed out to Twisted Rooster and met Jered there. By the time we left the restaurant, Jaely was a tired mess. It was nice to see Jered and Jaely was really excited. I love that my dad lives just a little north and my oldest brother lives just a little south. I need family around me.

When we got home, we all took naps. Short naps, but they were naps. We didn't want the girls to sleep too late because we wanted them to go to bed tonight. Cami is already asleep in her crib and Jaely is almost asleep with her eyes open as she finally finishes up dinner.

It was an adventurous day. I am so glad we live close to Grand Rapids. There is so much to do there. We really live in a perfect place- close to ludington, grand haven, grand Rapids, Holland. Even pretty close to Chicago for a weekend trip. . .
