Tuesday with the Hiemstras

Tuesday was another full day.  John went golfing with Uncle Glen and was gone all day.  Aunt Sue, Maggie, DeAnn, Holly and I went to Paneras for bagels and coffee while Grampa stayed home with the rest of the family and had cereal and Pop-Tarts.  Nutritional cereal and Pop-Tarts with no sugar.

Forgot a few things about Monday - after we went to the National Monument, Uncle Kurt and Aunt Amy treated us all to ice cream cones and then we went to their home for brats, hotdogs and all the fixins.  John & DeAnn, Holly & Sam and Kurt & Amy & Chase then went on a "haunted walk" in Pipestone.  It was very warm and the tour guides were in period costumes which were wool.  They all said it was a fun thing to do.  I think both Amy and DeAnn were a bit frightened so it was good that Chase and Sam were there to keep things under control.

 

 Now back to Tuesday.  We went to Chuck-e-Cheese in the late afternoon for an early dinner and some fun playtime.  The kids all had a GREAT time with Aunt Jen and Aunt Jan, Auntie Dee and Gramma.  Unfortunately Aunt Amy had to work so she couldn't go with us.

When playing the games, if you get a high enough score, you even get tickets to "buy" something wonderful later.

 Auntie Jen and Auntie Dee made a "killing" on the Deal or No Deal Game.

 Hang on, Auntie Dee.  Don't let that horse buck you off!!!

 Look at the prizes we bought:

 Holly and Gramma on the teacup ride.  It was quite thrilling!!

 The whole gang - almost.

 

We finished the day with ice cream at Culver's - what a special time and lots of good memories.

Love to all,

Gramma and MOM
