The long anticipated day dawned full of promise and sunshine. Chad met me with Gracie in Portland (1/2 way) about 10 A.M. We made the switch then headed back to G.R. I have discovered Disney Fairies and turned Gracie on to them, so our first stop was at Michael's to buy supplies to convert Genna's old tree stump Mouse House to a Fairie house. Many MANY bucks later we were on our way up the road again. The next stop was to Meijer Gardens where we were SUPPOSED to have a wonderful day in the flowers and meadows. However, the thunder rolled in, the skies opened up and our day was (literally) washed out. It did stop raining for a bit in the afternoon, however, and we made a stop at the Dam in Rockford (one of Gracie's very favorite places). I dragged along after her as she ran ALL the way to the end of the new boardwalk trail. That was fun but then we had to come all the way back!!! Even though the day was yucky in the middle, it ended well. Gracie got tucked into bed with a new storybook CD about Tinkerbell and her friends, and she slipped off to sleep with Fairies dancing in her head. Tomorrow is supposed to be a repeat of today, so we are going off to the Children's Museum and the Library, both indoors and DRY.
