I’ve heard “I’m Bored!” about 2 million times already this summer!  So I am trying to figure out things to do to keep them busy.

Bill bought a small inflatable pool over the weekend which has kept the older ones busy when the weather is nice.

On Tuesday we went to the Henson-Robinson Zoo in Springfield.  It is a very small zoo that takes about 30 minutes to go through.  We went with a friend of mine who also has 4 kids.  They all had a really good time, I think.  Jonah followed Haley (10) around most of the time.  She’d point things out to him and he’d get excited.  One highlight of the day was feeding the fish and ducks.  One mama duck decided to take a snip at Levi’s shoulder…he wasn’t real happy about that!  After looking at the animals, the kids each got a slushy and played at the playground area.

On Wednesday, the boys went to daycare.  The girls and I went to the Farmers’ Market downtown.  We have been going there on Wednesdays.  Then we went to the Colony West pool with a friend.  We don’t have a membership there, so we can only go with another family.  The girls spent 4 hours in the pool and were not ready to go when it was time to leave!

I’m am hoping the weather holds out so they can play in our pool today.  The boys go to daycare tomorrow…I’m not sure what the girls and I will be up to!
