At one of the hotels on our vacation, my youngest decided to be a bridge inbetween two beds. He was good at it for short periods of time.
In addition to the amusement park, the Mall of America had a massive display on monarch butterflies. And a cool fountain.
The local library had a story time themed around bugs. The word of the day was "crawlies." For the craft, we put a spider together with its web.
The prescholar had two lollipops for dessert one night. He had both of them at once!
He reminds me of me in my younger days.
I was summoned for jury duty in July but was not selected to be one of the jurors in the first case that day. We rejects reported back to the jury waiting room. The jury coordinator told us the other litigants had settled without a trial so we didn't need to go through another jury selection process. We were free for the rest of the day.
Nearby is the old jail built in 1851. It was a stop along the Underground Railroad, though not a stop anyone wanted to stop at. It was built in part to confine captured slaves fleeing north.
The kids did some front yard work, trimming the front bushes. They are available for reasonable rates.
Another fun story time at the library had "ocean" and the word of the week. The craft was very easy and very fun.
I was happy to win a promo card for Sagrada, a fun dice game that we love. The Family Gamers had a contest and sent it to me right away. So awesome!
