We stayed put all day, but the day ended up being full anyway! Tennis, bikes and lots of time on the playground helped burn off energy in little legs. And naps in the afternoon built it back up again. High points in the day were our conversations via Skype/Facetime with John/Gail and Nancy. What a blessing to have such technology! This trip would be so much harder on our hearts if we weren't able to see Grandma, Grandpa and Granny. To that list we must add our dogs, Bella and Midnight. For those of you who don't share our love of dogs, please bear with us! Nancy held up the computer so they could see and hear us. It was so funny to see them cock their ears in recognition of our voices. Bella kept circling the table, trying to find us behind the computer!
Rain storms blew in this afternoon, making our naps even better. We expect the same weather pattern tomorrow, so we hope we'll have time to snag a few more medallion rubbings (see day 10) before the rain begins. We'll worship at First Presbyterian Church of Springfield. It's called the Lincoln church because Abe and Mary were regular attendees during their years in the town. Looking forward to it and our last day in Springfield.
Hi from the Sessions! Read through all your posts yesterday (including Kelsey’s)…Wow what a wonderful journey! As we read your posts we are reliving some of the events from our trip last summer. Interestingly enough, even the challenging days of that journey are being fondly remembered. Achilles tendon surgery has changed the course of our summer plans. Rather than heading to BC, we are now staying home with a short trip to MN in late July. I must admit that it has been nice to be home. We will continue to vicariously experience your travels and pray that God will use all these experiences to grow you in many ways. Happy travels- Mark, Sandi and Kids
