We made a quick trip up to Ohio two weeks ago for a very monumental celebration. The boys' great-grandpa, Frank Fritsch, turned 90, and we couldn't pass up the chance to join in the festivities. Grandfather drove all the way from Wyoming, so it was a treat to see him again too. The boys had a great time playing with Grandfather and hearing Great-Grandpa's stories from life in the early 1900's. He bought his first car for $7! We went to the Cincinnati Children's Museum, housed in the old Union Terminal. What a treat! Lots of things to explore and an amazing IMAX movie on the Serengeti plains of Africa. We managed to pull off the surprise party for Great-Grandpa at Ryan's--though the poor man was so busy catching up with friends and family that he never got to eat! The boys also got to play at an awesome playground in a park where Grandfather played when he was a little boy. Great memories!
As a humorous aside, I was really having a hard time deciding whether or not to go. With gas prices being what they are, and the short nature of the trip (I drove up on Thursday and returned Sunday), I was hesitating about going. Wednesday night I was praying about it and said, "There's just no verse in the Bible that will tell me, 'Drive to Cincinnati tomorrow!' Thursday morning I opened "My Utmost for His Highest" to find this verse, "If someone compels you to go one mile, go with him two." I took that as my answer! (though I told Frank it didn't say anything about the other 420 miles!) I'm so glad we went! And so glad God guides us every step of the way.
