Smiling on Sunday.

When you have four kids age 23 months to 8 1/2 years old going to another state and staying in a hotel is a trip not a vacation.

Our trip started Saturday morning. Kids were up and in the van by about 6:30. Husband came in to talk to me as 23 month old was finishing up on the potty. While he was in the house four year old fell out of the van and hit her front teeth - some blood but we got her calmed down and figured she'd be OK. Stopped and picked up some Tylenol and then drove to the Cincinnati area to visit the Creation Museum - it's just over the border in KY.

The museum was great.

We had a picnic and then went to kids baptism service to see friends we know from our time in Lansing.

Went to Cracker Barrel for dinner and then back to the hotel. The kids wanted to swim. At the pool - four year old fell and hit her front teeth again. This time she knocked the top front tooth out root and all. And - she has a big fat lip. She slept okay and hasn't seemed to be in that much pain - she's careful when eating.

Today, Sunday, has gone well. Church, lunch, rest time, pool, dinner with friends, 4th grade football game and now at 9:38pm all but the littlest one are asleep.

Tomorrow the kids and I will spend time at our friend's house while husband makes some business connections here in the Cincinnati area. When we get back to Plainfield I'll be making a dental appointment for our four year old.

This has been a memorable trip.
