Gideon Convention - Charlotte, NC - Part 2

 As we continued on with the week, we had one adventure of our own.  Thursday is the day that the kids stay at an outing all day long, so I had brought the girls back early to rest and get in bed early.  Nikki had brought Tre and Quinn back early too, so we took them all out for dinner and to play around in a park close to the hotel.  The kids loved climbing in the various statues, and then they found the splash pad/fountain.  They had a great time, and they were soaked at the end.  The funniest thing for me was that Mary Ellen led the pack in getting in the water.  A year ago, Mary Ellen wouldn't go near a sprinkler.  Now, she can't stay away!

 Playing at the Discovery Museum.  Charlotte loved it, because she had an area that was perfect for her to play in and move around in!

And finally, she had to say goodbye to her new friends!  Mary Ellen became very close to both of them, and was very sad to say goodbye. 


Along with all of the fun we had during the week, Charlotte showed us her ever changing ways these days.  When we left, she was rolling around to get things, but now, she has a perfected military crawl that will get her wherever she wants to go.  She also had one tooth that has popped through and another one on the way, and she learned how to put her puffs in her mouth herself.  Our world has changed, and we are all learning new things as we watch her!
