What is it they say about the best laid plans? How about back-up plans? I suppose there should be some cliche about plans changing drastically and on the spur of the moment whenever children are involved.
After our plans changed due to unfortunate circumstances in Ohio, we decided to take the children to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The arch has a tram that takes visitors to the top where there are windows overlooking the city and the Mississippi River. There is also a museum and giant-screen movie theatre for the arch. We had hoped to spend a few hours there and stop at a Bob Evans on the way home.
Instead of doing all of this, we cleaned the house and the kids watched movies. Jessica woke up with a stiff neck and the pain was too bad to have her walking around the arch for a few hours, as well as being stuck in a car for an extended period. But all is well. One mermaid movie, one princess movie, and brownies and ice cream will make any little girl happy.
Church picnic tomorrow...
