Let's work backward. Today I went with Bonnie and the munchkin to the fish hatchery. We walked around, feed the fish and made a 5-year -olds dreams come true. Even better—they had a backhoe. He was in heaven.
We were walking thru the aisles feeding the fish and making sure the munchkin wasn't throwing food in the "do not feed" areas. A woman came toward us with two kids and a stroller. We moved out of the way and she took the stroller over the bump, and her phone flew out and landed in the overflow tank. She had to go back to the white house/office and get assistance. The munchkin was so happy when the employee came driving a John Deere cart. He was having quite the day.
We headed to the trail that starts as a large hill. Erosion from all the storms have hit it hard. The child was busy talking about the monsters in the woods and fell twice. He no longer wanted to walk. Neither of us had a band-aid. Band-aids are magic. Instead of walking to the covered bridge, we turned at the bridge for the Leni Lenape museum and headed back to the parking lot.
Miles/Steps: 2
Weather: mid-80s, sunny, humid
Bathrooms: I-4.5 at the hatchery
Wildlife: A blue heron at the fish hatchery. That's why the tanks are covered with nets. Bonnie called it a blue flying chicken. Black swallowtails
Monday we babysat the munchkin in the morning. He is done with day care and is waiting for kindergarten to begin. It was Grumpy's turn to watch him but he's at my house fixing my collapsed cellar entrance. So we babysat.
At 3:30 Lydia and I went to the Sunflower Experience at Grim's. It was okay. The flowers were beautiful. But unlike a maze or a trail it had no paths cut. You walked thru the rows of sunflowers. Lots of bugs, bees and butterflies.
Miles/Steps: 1+

The rest of the day last week were uneventful.
