Every summer when I visit, Dad and I go to the Arboretum. My cousin works there, and my parents have a membership. This summer, they have a trolls exhibit that is soooooo cool! We had lots of fun tracking them down.
That night, I had dinner over at Liz and Tom’s house. Liz and I have been friends since 6th grade, and hanging out with her is so comfortable and familiar. Her kids are two and four and so full of energy; she is supermom! I’ve gotten them a few books that they really liked, so I knew I couldn’t show up empty-handed on this visit. I found a book about a creepy pair of underwear, and they asked me to read it to them at bedtime. Evan just got a big boy bed and wanted everyone to pile in there with him, and insisted that we all take a picture. What a sweetheart! And the kids loved the book! Evan was saying, “Again!” before I even finished. I had to read that one twice, and a Halloween book twice. (There’s this Halloween book that I love to buy for my friends’ kids, and I swear that book is magic- EVERYONE loves it. When I visit my friends, they all ask me to read that book to their kids. So this was another stop on my “Shake Dem Halloween Bones” National Tour.)
