Little Gymmers

In Missouri, there was plenty of time for book reading with grandma and grandpa!


There was an open play at the children's gym near their house. So many things to do...we managed to snap a few pictures of them together. Most of the time, they were running in opposite directions.



The foam pit was Amedeo's favorite thing. They could jump from a platform into the blocks. He must have done that 100 times.



Two boys hopping on a balance beam!

On a different day, we visited a tire playground. I'll share a few more of those next time.

I learned that Springtime is a strange season for travel. You have to pack short and long sleeves, plus sweaters, hats, coats, gloves, sun hats, sunglasses, shorts. The temps were anywhere from 40 to 85....very difficult to fit all of that into a suitcase!

Report From MO

We returned from Missouri on Saturday. We traveled with my parents and decided to take only my dad's camera, so I am waiting for them to give me the pictures. I have been assured that it will be soon.

Things went fantastically well. Amedeo traveled like a champ. That might have something to do with the portable DVD player I bought. Bro's house is huge. Like hotel-sized. Amedeo and I slept together in one bedroom, Finn slept in his room upstairs, master br on main floor, and mom and dad slept in the basement bedroom. Top accommodations, I tell you. We each had our own bathroom. Compare that to their previous house where all 7 of us shared two baths.

We did many things...visited a farm, got to "drive" huge trucks, saw their awesome library, went on a hike, went frog hunting, and generally hung out.

I promise, pics will follow...plus bonus pics of Pietro's hard work on the floor.
