A visit to Springfield!

We arrived in Springfield at Aunt Lizzy's and Uncle Jimmy's house around 11:30 due to a snafu in our directions (happens EVERY time). We visited with little Grace and spent some time catching up. Tuesday played paper dolls with Grace and Grace decided that Tuesday could be her friend (Utah, too). We went out for lunch at Chili's and then went to the Bass Pro Shop. We looked around and Utah spent some time looking at guns with his Uncle Jimmy. Tuesday and Grace rode the elevator. Elizabeth and I tried to identify the type of snakes in an habitat- odd choice for us! We look very forward to another visit! Utah said that he wants to go back soon, stay longer, and go to the farm! I am sure little Grace would love to show Tuesday the town with her Mammie and she might let Aunt Cathy tag along!

The turtles were awesome. They were huge compared to our last visit. They even had a leatherback (soft back) turtle. Grace made a wish.. still not sure how they keep the turtles from eating the coins!

Aunt Lizzy, Utah, and I spent some time in the knife shop, but Utah was unable to find a knife in his price range. There were some beautiful guns on display and one was $27,000 (more than BOTH our cars added together) made of turkish maple and a unique metal process.

Tuesday and Utah spent some time playing a shooting game..
