Since Jim wasn't able to take off for Madelyn's birthday he took off the following Friday (March 26th) to spend the day with her. I had meetings in Wichita that day so we decided to all go to Wichita and make a trip out of it. We drove to Wichita Thursday evening and Madelyn did great. We were a little worried because she has so much energy in the evening and to be stuck in a car seat with a lot of energy stinks! We stopped and ate in Emporia and she walked around the restaurant and burned a lot of energy off.
Friday morning Jim dropped me off at work and him and Madelyn went to visit his grandmother. Jim's Grandmother was at Catholic Charities Rehab going through some therapy after suffering a couple of small strokes. She was very excited to see Jim and Madelyn and I guess from what I hear Madelyn was quite the entertainer. She was very friendly and talkative with the staff and enjoyed pulling blinds down off Grandmothers window.
Friday afternoon Jim's Mom and Dad met us in Wichita and we all went to the zoo. Uncle Joe and Aunt Joan were in town from Bartlesville so they met us at the zoo as well. It was very windy and a little chilly but Madelyn had a BLAST! She thought all the animals were so cool and she wasn't frightened by anything. It was pretty funny because at one point she carried on a conversation with a tiger that was looking her straight in the face. After the zoo we all went to Aunt Pat’s house and enjoyed cheese pizza. That evening after Madelyn went to sleep I went out with Mary, Carol and Kari for a few drinks. We had a great time!!!
March 26th is also my Dads birthday....Happy Birthday DAD!!!!!
