Vacation: Day 2

We are the house that neighborhood kids come to, and that's fine by me. Growing up, our house was that house and I always wanted my kids to have that experience. The downside is that kids come a knocking in the morning when you aren't quite ready, which happened today, but that's ok.

We took the visiting kid with us to the library to sign up for the summer reading program and get some books. Mine got books on The Simpsons, Assassin's Creed, Zombies and Pokemon. Not exactly Shakespeare but I'm hoping the old adage "as long as they are reading it's a good thing" holds true.

After lunch we sent the boy home and we met my friend Lyn and her grandsons for an afternoon at Inniswood Gardens. The kids loved it - they pretended to be warriors and played the game for a couple of hours.

When we got home we had a leisurely night in, while poor Craig worked on getting the thermostat and AC working. It's been a chore to say the least.
