We drove back through rain and fog.
I thought we would make it back in one day, but 
Quinn's back said other wise.
I am so ready for her new seating to come in.
We did make it back to help raise money for our city mission.
We did both the trio dance with Isaiah, and the foursome dance with Lily and Justice.

 Isaiah did a bit of hip hope part way through too.

 Denali's friends came to watch, that was fun!


 Getting ready ahead of time is always fun!





 Then getting to play afterward for a bit was fun!







Such a fun afternoon with great kids for a good cause!

We finally got too Memphis.
We got to hang out with my grandma.
I can only hope to do as good as she is when I am her age.



 We went to high tea.





 My cousin does these cool sticker nails, so we had a girls night to do nails.
 Miss Melissa made the kids these beautiful blankets and they would probably take them to school if they could.  What a kind gift.
 We went for some walks.
 We spent some time with my dad, but could not get too close.  I mentioned how he has been sick, he has blood cancer and is going to get a stem cell transplant, and can not be touched or breathed on, as we can not get him sick.  So we stayed away! :(
 So thanksgiving was nice, but different this year.  Still a big group of us, minus dad.

So it was a different thanksgiving, but still saw many folks we love!

With Quinn not fitting in her chair great right now.
We have gotten her measured for a new seating system for her chair, but it takes months before it comes in, due to insurance and paperwork and such.
So she was ready to get out when we got to Branson so again, we made the most of the situation and went and explored a few things in Branson.
Virtual reality was fun, famous familiar cars was also fun.
The best was the sight and sound museum and seeing the story of Jesus's birth.
So that was a great day, and then we kept on driving!

We started off last weekend with a dance recital in Omaha.
We love it!




Then we took off heading to Memphis TN.




 I was so happy to hear how they had Access Abiliy things in an art museum for the public to gain understanding on what is out there.  The artists and scientists and creators of the adaptable equipment are artists themselves.  Let's learn what is out there for people to be more successful and be able to get around the world better.  There were watches that will help read to blind people, body suits to help people move and stand easier.  There were spoons to help with the shakes, there were pens to help with writing.  There were wheelchairs for marathons, there were so many things to help share what some people need to help them adapt to life and it was beautiful.  I am so thankful to see this and help educate the people around us, who are willing to learn in a safe easy environment.  So awesome!
    Some wheelchairs made for certain things.
 collapsible wheels to move things around easier.
 Clothing to help feel the rhythm of the music.  It was very exciting to see.

 Isaiah and Denali used the dynovox and used their eyes to use the computer to talk with, just like how Quinn does.  Isaiah had it down pretty good, while Denali gave Quinn props saying how it was hard to use.
 Then we were back in the car driving south again.
So much more to share.  It was a busy week!
