We had a great time with Nana Carolyn. I am sad I didn't take more pictures of all of the fun things we did together. It was especially fun to see Carli get so excited to see her when she arrived because I wasn't sure Carli would remember her. Everyone was excited to see Nana. The girls were begging to wake her up on Friday morning before school and then Nana took them to the bus. Friday she hung out with Carli and me at home and then she watched Carli Friday night so we could go to the Football game. Saturday she played with the girls while Eric and I did some house projects to get the house all ready for Brazil. They did hair and had a great time playing in the basement. Saturday night we went to Silver Beach Pizza and rode the carousel. Always a favorite.
Sunday we celebrated her birthday early. She helped the girls make a cake. Carli especially enjoyed the Chocolate Cake!!!
The big miracle of her trip was that she tried to book her ticket from Boise to South Bend, but it was $200 dollars more than either coming to Grand Rapids or to Chicago. So she decided to fly in and out of Grand Rapids. Its so much easier to get to for us than Chicago. She was suppose to arrive at 10:00 on Thursday night and I was going to drive up and get her. I was worried about a late night. When she checked in at the Boise Airport she found out that the Grand Rapids flight was over sold and she asked about the South Bend Flight. It had 6 extra seats on it. The gate agent in Boise wasn't able to help her but when she got to MSP since the flight to Grand Rapids was oversold they switched her ticket and flew her into South Bend instead. Yeah!!! Plus the Grand Rapids flight left late, so it would have been an even later night.
It worked out well for her to leave out of Grand Rapids because I had a Dr appt already scheduled for Grand Rapids on Monday so Eric was able to drive up with us and we went to Costco before she left.
Thanks Nana for coming!!!
