The boys great-grandmother died this past week, so we made a quick trip to Minnesota for the funeral. It was a long drive there and back, but they did well. We took reading and math with us so we wouldn't be as far behind.
I call this a field trip because the boys got some family history while we were there, and met distant cousins. We drove by the farm where their grandmother grew up, the church where their grandma and grandpa were married (also their great-grandma and grandpa were married), the old schoolhouse where their great-grandmother went to school, also the farm where their great-grandmother was born and grew up. They heard stories at the funeral about what kind of woman their great-grandma was. They saw pictures of her growing up at the viewing and saw pictures of quilts she made.
It was good to get away and see family again, but it was good to get back home!
