Some of the schools in Alabama had their spring break last week. I kept the "grands" Wed - Sun. We had a great time. We shopped, and played until I was worn out. We went to Desoto Caverns two days. They have many great activities for kids there. We panned for gems, got lost in the maze (Haley was our leader), raced "potty cars" (will have to get those pictures downloaded), played golf (mostly the balls went in the water). It was so much fun. I broke a toe on the potty racer. The first thing I did was run into the fence (that thing goes faster than you think). Of course, Haley didn't have any problems with it. Hannah was a demon in the "Lighting McQeen" racers. We had so much fun the first day, we went back for a second day with the Pawpaw. Haley thought he was a party pooper. She told me Pawpaw just doesn't like to have fun like Memama. I told her Memama will never grow up when it comes to playing with the babies. The body may be getting older but the mind doesn't want to accept that.
We had one setback during the time together. The girls wanted to stay in the camper. We got it all cleaned up and were settled in to sleep the second day they were here. They fell asleep watching a movie but I couldn't settle down. I kept hearing a beeping and saw a flashing green light. Mike had told me the green light was a monitor for the gas. I thought the beeping was warning me that there was a gas leak. So at 11:30 at night I pulled the car up to the camper, woke the children and took us back to the house. I was so afraid something would happen. When Mike got home for the weekend, he checked it out and said it was a smoke alarm that needed a battery replaced. So, except for the fact that we didn't get to stay in the camper, we had a great time.
A quick update on the trip to china----Teri got a call from the adoption agency yesterday and they seem to think we will be going April 26-May 10. This could change but this is their best guess at this time. She sent our passports out today to get our visas to travel. Time is getting shorter, so keep us in your prayers.

Three blogs in one month! What's going on??
Sounds like a ton of fun! Reminded me of the times we would go sleep in the camper (in our driveway or beside the house) just because the kids wanted to do so. Of course, when Peanut comes along, I will have learned parental self-discipline and won't be doing any of this type of behavior.
