We tried to celebrate dad’s day today for Bret since tomorrow will be about my family. We ran to the store to do a return and buy Nikki a scooter. She picked out a Razor Hello Kitty scooter. She couldn’t wait to come home and use it and Justin couldn’t wait to scooter with her. They were so cute using their scooters together. We took dad to Little Pickle, his favorite sandwich place. Then we decided to go to the Environmental Nature Center in Newport. It was fun. They gave the kids things to find on a scavenger hunt. So of course that made it so exciting. I don’t think we had time to appreciate the nature as the kids just wanted to find everything as fast as they could. I would have loved to stay there and just take pics.Here are some pics:
Since we were so close to Grammy’s we decided to go over there. When she wasn’t home the kids insisted on waiting for her. The kids amused themselves in the front of her house, jumping to hit the wind chimes, using their trikes, and getting out their floaties and kickboards. They pretended their trikes were the Autopia and the glider chair was the Small World ride. It was so cute. Grammy got home and then there was some domestic dispute going on at a neighbors. So exciting as the police came. The kids got to see inside the police cars and van and learn about all the things police officers use, tazers, darts, handcuffs, footcuffs, etc. The police officer took so much time to show the kids everything. It was even pretty cool for Bret and I. We decided to stay and have dinner at Grammy’s. The kids were so silly and were so excited that Grammy had ice cream for them. They didn’t want to leave. We didn’t get the kiddos to bed until about 9:15, ugh. But I am glad they are bonding a bit more with Grammy.
