It was hot but I think the kids had a great time. I did. We packed up and went to the museum and saw the train. You can't have too many trains in your life - just ask Bill. Then we went to the air play at the big museum and the kids had a ball with that while we waited for the Golden Knights who couldn't land because of low slung clouds, but a stealth bomber flew over and scared us it was so loud.
Some of our friendly police people - the bicycle crew - were on hand to say hi! We saw a huge coal barge come down the river.
We picked up pizzas at Angelo's - delicious - and we ate at Kids Kingdom. It began to get very hot. Then we went out to the little airport and looked at all the aircraft. The kids got to go into a helicopter and a big transport plane. They had army men throwing balls at them, and they collected quite a few. Everyone was so nice.
Then we saw the obstacle course about 35 feet in the air presented by the National Guard and the kids went wild. It was hilarious to watch the children go over these giant air filled mountains and slide down again. They loved it and it was difficult to pull them away.
Next week we will go to Cave in Rock and swim at Pounds Hollow. It's a longer trip, and lots of fun. I hope it's hot enough.
Children should go to bed early on Thursdays for Friday. Lots of our kids were very tired and were dragging by the airport. It's very hot and debilitating when you're tired to begin with.
Next week's theme? Cave people and their art, prehistoric stuff, rocks and dinosaurs.
