Bernie

We traveled to Bernie to celebrate my great Aunt Helen's 100th Birthday.  Then, Marlee got sick and we didn't get to go to the party.  We spent most of our time at my Grandma's house.  My Grandma stays at the nursing home a lot with my Grandpa, so we just made ourselves at home.  The girls did really good in the car on the way there.  Laynie had a 1-2 hour spell on the way home, but other than that, they did good.

 Marlee and I went to the Bootheel Youth Museum in Malden one day to get out of the house.  

 She had a lot of fun at first, but then started crying and saying that her head hurt.  She started running a fever when we got back to Grandma's house, so we skipped the party.  She was fine the next day, so maybe the noise at the museum got to her.  Or maybe it was too overwhelming.  She was so sad and pitiful that night.  It broke my heart.
