Stuart Nebraska

Well, last time I posted we (I) was packing to go visit great grandma Kaup. I have lots of Easter pics to post BUT first things first.

We had such a short but fun time in Stuart.

I picked up Emma from school about 15min early and already had the DVD players hooked up. As soon as she got in the car she asked where we were going and I told her that I thought it would just be fun to "drive around while watching a movie" :) She didn't question it!

We picked up grandma a block away from the school and when she started loading her bags and pillow again the girls asked where we were going. I told them that we needed to drop off some things at the Goodwill. Emma even looked in the back and saw her suitcase and begged me not to take it to the Goodwill. :)

The funny thing is is that Lauren found her already packed suitcase in our closet and asked Dave where she was going. Dave told her that I was already packing for our trip to Minnesota in May. HA!

Anyway, so we started toward Norfolk and the only person who kept asking where we were going was Marina. She kept saying, "where going?" How funny! The other two were too engulfed in their movie.

So, we got to Norfolk and ate at the Burger King. I told them that we went to Norfolk cause we wanted to eat at that BK. I asked them if it was ok if we spent the night somewhere else that night. Of course they were excited but still had no clue.

Finally, near O'Neill (which is 3 1/2 hours from here) we gave them enough hints that they figured out where we were going. They screamed and screamed in excitement.

Great Grandma is still doing so well. The girls helped decorate a birthday cake for her 88th birthday. She kept asking mom and Emma how old she was going to be on her birthday. :)

Emma is making her First Communion this Sunday and she was THRILLED to have recieved a Rosary from her great grandma.

Saturday was SO chilly and windy but the girls insisted on walking "uptown" so we could get the mail and buy some jerkey and other goodies from Uncle Rod. Emma thought she was so cool "helping" at the meat shop.

Of course we had to stop at the park before we started for home....

That's it... hopefully an Easter post in the next couple of days.
