Cecilia tonight opened a pocket almanac, turned it to the Ontario page, pointed near Toronto, and said "you flew here!" Laura said she's never told her that.

The other night she said "I want to read Heads Up in Flight!" (Flight is a collection of comics.) We turned to Heads Up and it was definitely not appropriate for little ones... Again, Laura said she's never read Flight to her, let alone Heads Up.

Coincidences?

The Play Station

On our last full day in Iowa, we took Cecilia and Grant to The Play Station, an indoor play space in Cedar Rapids. It felt odd being there with the kids, because I remember playing there in the mid-90s with my siblings. 

A view of the whole play space

Cecilia had a lot of fun running around and crawling through the tunnels. 

Grant enjoyed watching Cecilia play in the ball pit with Grandma Peanut.

Then he got a chance to play there too with Auntie Megan, Cecilia and Mommy.

While we were taking a break and eating, Grant had fun playing with Grandma Peanut and attacking her hair!

He also got to come down the slide with Mommy, but wasn't really sure what to think of the experience.

Cecilia also got to try the arcade games while we were there. She was a lucky little one and ended up winning a lot of tickets. In fact, she probably won as many as the rest of us combined!

So then she got to go to the prize counter and pick out what to spend her tickets on!

Cecilia plays catch with Zoey and Grandma Peanut

Cecilia had a lot of fun with Zoey this year. She is big enough now that she can throw a ball, which Zoey loves. She also loves to run and chase Zoey, which Zoey also enjoys. Since we have been home, we have missed Zoey and her ability to wear Cecilia out a little (and I'm guessing Grandma Peanut misses Cecilia wearing Zoey out!)
