Well, the day didn’t go exactly as we had planned, but it turned out to be a great one anyway. The kids & I had been planning an outing today for several weeks, to head to Edventure, the children’s museum in Columbia. Alas, when we went out to hit the road, the car wouldn’t start. :-(. After a couple of minutes of disappointment, though, we came in & started coming up with a Plan B. The kids were SO good about it. The #1 thing they wanted to do was walk to the playground at Bethel School at the end of our road. I told them if we were going, we’d better go quick before the day got any hotter. I had packed a cooler of water bottles and snacks for us to have to way home from Columbia, so we put it in the stroller and walked it down with us. One thing I’d packed was a mason jar of iced tea, figuring I’d need a caffeine boost when I started that drive after spending the day in the museum. So the kids & I just passed it around when they took a break at the playground :-).
Home for a good lunch, reading some library books, and fat naps, and then some serious sprinkler play. Not a bad day for a fallback plan 🙂
