The Weekend Was Great

Well, our "wintery weather" didn't keep us from heading to Sioux Falls for our MOPS Leadership Summit. We left Friday at about 1:30 and had dinner at Minervas and then took in our scheduled concert at the Washington Pavillion. The SD Symphony did Jeans n Classics!! It was wonderful! A few of us decided that we would like to see them again when they do the "Beatles" next year! Something to look forward to for next year!!

Saturday morning we headed to the MOPS Leadership Summit and it was so much more than I was expecting!! It really got me motivated to do everything I possibly can to keep our evening MOPS group intact!! This was our first year at having an evening MOPS group for working mothers and as with anything that you do the first year, we had some bumps and some fine tuning to do!! Attending this Leadership Summit gave me the motivation to not give up and to stick to this for one more year and hopefully motivate others to take some of our Steering Committee positions after next year. I am also hoping to attend the National MOPS Convention in Dallas, TX in October. We will see what the pocket book says.
After the Summit, we of course, had to head to the Mall shopping. You can't go to Sioux Falls without shopping. We shopped for 5 hours (until 9 pm) before heading to dinner.....yes, dinner at 9 pm. Not my cup of tea and my stomach told me so about 4 am!! Sunday we finished our shopping before heading home and barely making it in time for our Bible Study that I joined. It was nice to get home and see Paul and Seneca.
It sounds like Paul and Seneca had a good weekend while I was away. The weather turned out nice on Saturday and they spent some time outdoors, riding bikes, hula hooping, etc. Seneca was happy to see her mom and told me over and over how much she missed me!!
