Friends from Afar

Our dear friends Steve and Michelle came to visit for a few days this past week. We only get to see them every three years so this was a real treat. We had so much fun catching up and hanging out that the time flew by way too fast. Little C had so much fun playing with everyone. She was beside herself with joy the entire week—and so was I.

We started our time with a trip to the zoo. Believe it or not, there are exhibits that C and I had not seen until Tuesday. One of the highlights of the day was the dinosaur exhibit and the funny signs posted throughout.

On Wednesday we drove into Chicago to visit the Museum of Science and Industry. We read that the entrance fee was waved for the month of September so that is why we chose to go there. However, once we got there we found out that the website page we saw was actually last year’s. But since we asked so nicely, the lady we spoke to put in a call to her manager and gave us free entry anyway. Praise God for really thoughtful people.

Thursday we got to play all morning long before everyone had to go. The afternoon was so quiet and lonely. We all really miss you. Hopefully we can come visit you in South Africa next time!!!
Here are some highlights from our time together.

[The Museum had a bit of everything...including baby chicks. C pounded her hand on the glass and a cluster of little chicks came running over to her.]
