Grands

I am watching the grands a couple of days a week during the summer, and we started out yesterday with a big day.  Swimming at the outdoor pool at the Y for the first time this summer, then lunch down the street at Cobblestone Cafe.  I wanted to be one of those Fort Thomas grandmothers who take their grandkids there.  Nora, healthy eater that she is, chose macaroni salad and a fruit cup.  She gobbled the croissant too.  The cafe usually closes at 2:00 but Tuesday is a late day for them.  I thought that it would be a light crowd during the afternoon but almost every table was full.
 

On down the street at the library, the gerbil was less shy than it has been.  We even got to see some open eyes.  And, joy, the train table had new trains.

Nora picked out lots of books, mostly Arthur books, but one about fats too.  While her brother took several runs up and down the hill, she sat on the curb and read.  

And here's the hill-runner.  I told him he needed to take off his flip flops to run the hill, and he was happy to do it.  Note the post-swimming hair.
