July 19: Chelsea Meagan helps with 4-H cake decorating judging
After cake decorating, we headed to VA and visited with Wade in the hospital and also with Grandma P. at her house. On the next morning, Chelsea's birthday, we got up, and the girls enjoyed a southern breakfast with Grandma P before we headed to the hospital. Above, Chelsea makes Salem, the cat, hiss :) Below, the girls pose with Grandma P.
When we arrived at the hospital, we were bummed that Wade was not available b/c they were doing a procedure. Chelsea said that she wanted to get her ears pierced for her birthday, and Britti said that she would treat her. Thus, with time on our hands, we headed for the mall where Britti put on an interesting disguise, and both girls got their ears pierced, and Grandma P. bought a lawn mower. We called the hospital, and Wade was still out of his room so we ate lunch at Olive Garden, fulfilling another one of Chelsea's birthday wishes.
We got home around 11 p.m., and Chelsea opened her presents-- a great bag from Grandma B and an Ipod touch from "Mumzi" (yes, me!) and Roger.
