Lots of Rain

We have had a lot of rainy days lately. We made the best of it by going to the mall for the first time. Will was very excited because there were 6 escalators (compared to 4 at Woodland in Grand Rapids). Three in the anchor stores and three in the actual mall itself (2 story mall). Unfortunately, they don't have a Barnes & Noble attached or a play area but there was a carousel and a small fountain which kept them busy. We also went to the Air Zoo. The boys now each have their pilot's licenses - a badge they can wear around their neck while there. It entitles them to a free popcorn at each visit... I have a feeling there will be a lot of requests for the Air Zoo! We had some serious rains on Wednesday. We got to play on the front porch and watch it rain... we also did a few garage picnics which both kids enjoy. On the couple nice days we've had, we've gone to the playground, hunted worms, and found grasshoppers in the yard.
