Day 22-24 Tuesday -Thursday

Tuesday we pretty much just rested at home. It has been cloudy and cool for late June in Iowa. I golfed at Hidden Hills with my mom, Wendy, and Marilyn. We had to wear sweatshirts!

Wednesday was busy. Cal wanted to spend some of his accumulated birthday money. We spent more than an hour wandering the aisles at Toys R Us, then Target. He bought a couple little things. Next we went to the Family Museum. The boys made shadow puppets, played at the exhibits, and went into the "Sky Lab" planetarium to see the July night sky! We finally made our way home about 3:00.

Thursday we went to Niabi Zoo with Maga Mitchell and Sophia. Of course we rode the train and the carosel. Jake liked the bobcats best. I think that was because they ran along side the fence next to him. Cal liked the giraffes. (Did I spell carosel and giraffe right? I don't think carosel is right...). The giraffes were really cool. They were actually "running" around which seemed unusual as they normally just stand there! What fun! We went to Kelli and Jay's in the evening for dinner and the boys just played around in the backyard.

Let the Fourth of July weekend begin!

Stacie, your kids are so lucky to have you as a mom. Our job at school would be much easier if all parents were as active with their students as you are with your kids. satedenc
