It was bound to happen—a rainy day in the middle of our perfect weather. Of course, it’s my family’s first day here, so I had to swear up and down it was really sunny just 12 hours ago. Really.
We took the opportunity to hit the local children’s museum, which is maybe as big as a convenience store and chock full of homemade exhibits. It actually was kind of charming and the kids had a ball. Shep played DJ while Neko couldn’t get enough of these enormous teeth and toothbrush. If only she were as enthusiastic about brushing her own teeth.
In a brief break in the afternoon, all the kids jumped in the pool. Shep and Chris played bumper cars, Neko enjoyed having Bonnie all to herself, and Ellery and Alex sat on the sidelines discussing how silly these big people are for jumping in that freezing water.
