Pony Express & Surprise Bday Party

Greetings from the airport hotel! As you can see from the pictures below Christi had a jam packed day! "Wacky Wednesday" was enjoyed by the girls at school today. She had a glorious time playing "Amazing Labyrinth" with her fellow fourth graders then it was home to pick up Nee Nee after school for the "Pony Express".

At Aunt Marty and Uncle Jeff's she enjoyed visiting with their goats, cats, dogs, and many ponies. Christi was allowed to name the new one so she needed to sit and observe it and sketch it before making certain the name she selected was the perfect fit. She came up with "Morning Dove" for the new white pony. Uncle Jeff and Aunt Marty agreed with her selection.

Aunt Marty took us to the place where Christi learned we were meeting "Ms. Weaver". Christi asked if she knew "Ms. Weaver" and I told her she's been a friend of mine for years and she would probably remember her once she saw her. (hee hee) As we walked into "Magic Mountain" she asked what kind of place it was. She was THRILLED to see Traci and then even more pleased to learn that we weren't really just catching a ride there, but able to stay and play for a few hours! THANKS TO ALL OF THE SWEET FRIENDS, mostly from COSI, who spoiled her with Magic Mountain's games, go-carts and play place.

Traci and Jason brought us back here to the hotel where we enjoyed the birthday cookie they surprised Chrsiti with. She had a blessed day! (Amazing to me: we've had days of cold, rainy conditions. When it was time to go out to the go-carts it was sunny and warm. Praise be to God! It was like He parted the storm to allow Christi to have her first attempt at driving a go-cart! Then when it was time to leave we drove in the pouring rain to the hotel.) We've been blessed! THANK YOU ALL! Goodnight!

PS: The pics of her holding the "critters" were taken a few weeks ago at COSI. The rest are from today.
