Busy, busy day. We started at Painter Park. Ada and Helena rode scooters there; Liam rode his bike. I brought a soccer ball since Liam and Helena had insisted on it all morning long. After the park (which we had to leave because Ada had to go pee, we went home and had our lunch (and Ada didn’t  have to go to the bathroom any longer). Then we went for a trolley ride from Linden Hills to Lakewood Cemetery.  I’ve been trying to get back into the chapel with the kids for a long, long time. But they were offering tours today so we went in. Ada found it interesting….she kept looking up. The kids tried their best to imagine how big ten-million is, since that is how many mosaic tiles make up the walls and ceiling.

We then took the trolley back to Linden Hills and then went on to Ben & Jerry’s to use the coupon that expired today. The banana splits lasted five minutes between them. After going back to the car and taking pictures of Helena, our messy eater, she figured out what was going on and cleaned her mouth. Then we all laughed because I was taking pictures of the chocolate ice cream all over her forehead. “How did I get it up there??!”

On our way back home we got to see an accident involving a motorcycle….pretty exciting. The pool was supposed to open today, but as we drove by it we noticed that it was still closed. After Ada’s (un)nap and dinner Liam rode back over to confirm that it was indeed not open. Liam and I played Mario Kart and I finally unlocked Rosalina, so he was pretty happy. We then went outside to play some game that Liam had made up (or made up on the spot). And now I’m getting all the pictures together to put here.
