Since it is the weekend, and especially given the case that Morgan had such a good report card, I decided to take her to the children's museum in Truckee. It's a relatively short drive, but given weather / shortened hours during the summer, etc... we don't make it up there very often.
We headed up in the morning and spent a little over two hours - she was able to make a mask in their mask workshop, play in the farm, and climb all over the jungle gym. Everything is indoor and "pretend" and she loves it. I even got to have my first real moment of "old" when I had to explain what a rotary phone was and show her how it works (they have one hanging in the play house). I remember using such a phone, she has barely seen a phone attached to a wall. :-)
We also got a chance to check out the NW library - one of the only ones that I / she has not been too. I have to say there really is benefit to checking out the different libraries - they all have their own look and layout and they all have different materials / workshops available. We had already been to our normal library location Friday night, but can you ever have too many books? As with many of our recurring themes I think you can tell by now - we love the library!
Needless to say I now have a very tired child laying on the floor in her "blanket fort" watching Snow White and fighting desperately not to fall asleep....
