My dad and Sue came to visit us for a few days. We hadn't seen my dad since October and Sue since Christmas. It was so good spending time with them. We had a lot to celebrate. Sue had just had her birthday earlier in the week and they were here for Mother's Day. In honor of Sue's birthday, Kaylee and I made homemade hot fudge sauce and we had hot fudge sundaes. In honor of Mother's Day, Kianna made Sue and I breakfast, the kids made us cards and gave us flowers. Trevor grilled out steaks. It was a nice day.

In the midst of all the celebrating, we watched the girls' soccer games and made a trip to Sauder Village. We had a great time at Sauder Village, which is a living history farm setup to replicate life in the mid 1800's and early 1900's. We got to see what houses and schools looked like back then. We got to see how jam, horseradish, noodles and rope were made. The kids got to milk a pretend cow, gather eggs from a chicken, see some baby animals and play several games that kids back then would have played. We had such a good time that we bought a membership there. We plan on going back sometime soon. We also had a wonderful meal at The Barn Restaurant. I was honestly full for the entire next day.
