Days 10, 11, 12 on "grandparenting" duty!

Rain for two days required indoor play: reading, Legos, and kiwi crates. (Check them out at kiwicrate.com. Great creative projects for various ages mailed to you in a shoe box, complete with all needed supplies! Requires some adult interaction, which is always fun and memory making!)

Spent an afternoon again at a nearby park and went again to the zoo. A cloudy, misty day is a great day to go to the zoo since it was basically empty! All the animals were outside enjoying the cooler, moist air. We also rode the train and a merry-go-round. The 4th ended with "poppers" and sparklers, with two of the three actually staying up until dark to see some fireworks.
