We had a great time visiting Hope's home for the first time. We traveled about 8 1/2 hours to west St. Louis. We had good weather, too, so we were able to be outside a bit. Special events included a "ball" complete with dress-up outfits, a ladies' spa afternoon, and bingo night for New Years' Eve. While we were there Mark and Joseph each picked out an 8-week old lab puppy, so Sam enjoyed playing with them.
