Before our trip, I scouted the area online to make sure I would have enough to do. You never want to get bored with four children depending on you to keep them entertained. We found a nice little children's science museum type thingy (been to plenty of those in my day), and planned to visit, but when we awoke to such gorgeous temperatures and bright sunshine, we decided to avoid being indoors. Lansing has an old town district, a river, fish ladder, etc., and that made for a couple of hours of fun. Greg's meetings were finished a little earlier than expected, and so we left for home as soon as we could. I've heard a lot about what a rough place Lansing is, but my overall perception of the place isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I always felt safe, and I did cover a decent portion of the city.

| It's amazing how smooth the water seems just before it crashes over the dam. Several object lessons to be found in that example. :-) |

| I had such a fun weekend exploring with the kids. They were patient with my constant use of navigation, and my little blondie even asked, "Does that lady know how to get everywhere?" Oh, she brings us lots of laughs! |

Oh, Kaitlynn! I can just hear her saying that. Lol! Although, I must say, it sounds like something her aunt would say. :)
