Im not sure if I could ever forget this day. (Although I don't remember the exact date!) At Easter dinner, Terri, Sherri and I made plans to do something with all the kids for Spring Break. We picked a day and decided to go to Potter Park Zoo! Super fun right? Well, the weather forecast was not in our favor, but we decided to chance it anyways. Never again will I do this! We each have a car full of kids. Terri, Sherri, Clara and Addi were in one car. Me, Emma, Liv, and Caitlin in mine. We get to the zoo...unload all the kids and strollers and lunches. Go to the gift shop and buy a membership...then 2 are cold we get them hoodies, and the other kds a small toy. $70 later there is a tornado watch and we are advised not to go to the zoo....oh yeah and its POURING! Bolt back to the car, get all the kids loaded up to find the Hands on Museum. As we are driving there (and slightly lost in downtown Lansing!) the tornado siren is going off!
We finally make it to the museum, unload the kids and leave the cars to take cover. After moving our cars several times, we are finally in a good spot and the sirens stop. We have a 'picnic' in the basement of the mueseum. The good news is, we sneak up a side staircase and get in for free! The kids all ended up having a blast which was the main point! Very cool for them! They even had a room for Liv to go and play in, so the crazy day ended well. And with the thought, "What were we thinking??"
