I'm going to skip over to the day after we drove back across the state to Sharpsville. It was Saturday and we didn't really have any set plans, so my dad decided to take us on pretty much the same route he'd taken me on when I was there two years earlier. Only this time, the oil well museum was open, so we were able to peek inside and take a look at where the first oil well was drilled and some other fun facts. Meanwhile, Erin found the kids station and made some purple plastic (think silly putty).
Anyway... Jacques and I started the day out with a walk down to the lake behind the house, with a light dusting of snow on the ground (which I was really excited about, though I had no idea what I was in for just two days later).
It was great to have that morning together before embarking on our day trip. There's nothing I love more than just the simple act of being outside and capturing the world around me! Yeah, I'm a cheap date. ;) (Though it wasn't even really classified as a date, but you get the picture...)
More to come! .... Later.
