Wednesday

Today we had a simply simple day. Jake and Josh helped Papa plant a tree. They did a really great job.

Mike went and found some yucca he could use for his mountain man adventure. He didn’t find any he could use on Tuesday, but he was a little luckier this time.

Then this afternoon, We met Renae at a really cool mall. Her daughter, Aubry, had just gotten some really cool shoes at Payless, so we went to see if we could find a pair for Elaina. They were adorable, but they only went up to size 10 ½. If Elaina had little feet, we would have had it made. :}

The girls went home with Renae and played with her dogs while I went shopping with Nana, Karen and Logan. We had a good time with lots of laughing. Apparently, being mostly blind is not the reason Jacob touches everything. We went to Macy’s and I have never seen models like that. They were very “happy” to see us. Maybe they had been recently brought in from an ice storm, but I just couldn’t help myself. I had to touch them. It was like a magnetic reaction. It was just so odd and gross all at the same time.

On the way home, we went to a Mexican market place. It was amazing. It was really neat to see all the different pieces and parts of animals for sale. There were also tons of fruits and veggies. Also an amazing array of baked goods. They had a tortilla maker with fresh tortillas for sale as well as a restaurant filled with traditional Mexican food. It was a really neat place to visit. I wish we had something like that close to us. Our house would have fresh fruit all the time!
