Another day ...

Thanks for checking in! The kiddos and I went up to see Bapo yesterday AND today. Yesterday's visit was much more pleasant, but none-the-less Dad enjoyed having the kiddos around. Each of the grandkids made a "Get Well" sign for grandpa. Shayna added the VBS saying, "God is always with you!" and Mara explained then we were all supposed to yell! I was asked often, "Are they ALL yours?" We looked a little odd as 4 of the 5 kiddos had on their VBS shirts and I had one on too. Bapo treated us to lunch after our visit to Cici's. Luckily Gary was able to come with us, so it was easier on me!

Dad is received a lot of pain meds. Yesterday he was mostly pain-free, but today he has had more pain and therefore more meds. He continues to have an upbeat spirit and is anxious for us to take Jet up for a quick visit. I am SHOCKED that they allow dogs to visit, but you don't need to tell dad twice about that! We took a picture of Jet up to his room, but if you know Jet ... he is pretty difficult to photograph with black hair and eyes. He is plastered up on one of the doors of Dad's room so he can see him from the comfort of his bed.

Shayna had a riding lesson today and her teacher was gracious enough to take each of the little ones on a quick ride as well. Bapo told Shayna he was hoping that he could come and watch her ride sometime. Shayna had a grin on her face a mile wide! She has really become more confident in her riding abilities.

After our visit to the hospital today we went to Krug Park and had a quick picnic and fed the geese/ducks. We almost didn't make it as our trip to the hospital was a bit crazy, but they all pulled it together and fun was had by all.
