We arrived in Cherokee yesterday afternoon. We had to drag Grandpa away from his bingo game. He gave us a tour of his new home at the assisted living center. He showed us where he exercises twice daily for 40 minutes. We met the activity director, who gave the kids popcorn and told them to help themselves to the juice bar. Across the hall from Grandpa's room is a living room area with a huge flat screen. Eric did ask if we could move in..... We went out to the farm with Grandpa to fly kites, then went to Pizza Hut for supper.
Today we went to Sioux City to celebrate Becca's birthday. It was fun watching the young cousins play....and fight....and then play again.
When we were saying our goodbyes to Grandpa, Eric said to him "Well, I hope you survive another year so we can come visit next Summer".
After we left Grandpa's, we went back out to the farm and I took some pictures of the kids by the barn. One did not cooperate. We then went to visit Great Grandma's gravesite. The boys always enjoy exploring cemetaries, and counting all the military markers. We are now in Sioux Falls....tired...ready to be home again. In a 27 day span, I have slept in a hotel 12 nights....
