On Saturday, we all gathered in Funks Grove to attend the memorial for my wonderful Grandpa Bob. He passed away at the end of February. Although it was so difficult to watch him leave us, I know that he is where he has truly wanted to be since my Grandma passed away in 2008.
Despite the sadness the adults were experiencing, the kids were pretty naive to the circumstances. They simply enjoyed the rare time that they get to spend together. They love eachothers' company and provide a constant reminder of how wonderful family truly can be!

After the memorial, we all needed some time away. My mom headed to the lakehouse with her friends for the night. Mya and I headed to my sister's in St. Louis for the night and then headed out for the lake to spend the rest of the week with my mom. On Saturday and Sunday, the weather was perfection...75-80 degrees and sunny! The kids played outside for hours at Auntie's house. Once we got to the lake, we got our suits on and went boating!!! Boating + Swimming Suits in March = HEAVEN!

| Mya loved her lifejacket! Here she is ready to go boating with "My Mimi." |
 |
| Despite the frown, she really did LOVE boating! |
 |
| The kids were so happy! |
 |
| Fishing with Cici... Ty was the only fisher to catch a fish! |
 |
| Mya and Mimi were plotting their attack. I was shot with the watergun moments after I caught them in the act. |
After a fabulous week at the lake, it was time to head home. Andra, the kids, and I headed back to St. Louis on Thursday. I had an 8 hour trip back home with Mya, so I decided to break the trip up into 2 days. Day 1- Ozarks to St. Louis (2.5 hours) Day 2- St. Louis to Chicago (5.5 hours). Mya did AMAZINGLY well! I was proud of my lil' traveler!
