It was a disappointing beginning to our day. The Salute to Veterans Parade was cancelled due to the impending weather. To say that John was very sad would be an understatement. We did get to see one plane from the airshow flying around downtown so that helped a little bit. We also met up with Andrea and Kathryn at McDonald’s for a little Play Place time. When all other distraction fails, let the kids expend some energy… It started to rain a little bit on our way home from McDonald’s and it didn’t take long for us to see why the parade was cancelled. It was quite a downpour complete with hail. It looked like we had Niagara Falls in our backyard.
Because the kids couldn’t go outside, Laura took the opportunity to start working on her “Summer Bingo” for school. If she completes all the items over the summer and returns the form back to school, she will get a prize. By the end of today, she had completed 9 of the 25 items.
Because it was raining, we took the opportunity to make John take a nap. He was exhausted after two busy, busy days. You know he was tired because he didn’t argue about taking a nap. He obviously needed it because he slept for three full hours.
Most of the day was spent doing very little. It was quite a relaxing day, but somewhat of a foreign concept. A weekend day with nothing to do at the Kassel Household?!? How weird is that? I am not complaining though and I am very much looking forward to the shortened work week.
