Here, There, and Everywhere

We have returned from a week of vacation. Jon performed his first wedding and it went very well. We ate lots of pork in various forms. The kids got to spend time with my parents while we enjoyed a day plus an evening of wedding-related things.

We went with Jon's family to a nearby science center. The kids had a great time playing with 3 floors of science things, from air to water to color. They got to stick their heads in an astronaut suit and clean off dinosaur bones. Most of it was definitely beyond their understanding, but they had fun with the musical stuff and exercise equipment. There were piano keys on the floor that they could jump on. It was a great place and we would go back again. We spent a couple days seeing grandparents and letting the kids run. It wasn't one of those vacations that just flew by, thankfully. I even got quite a bit of my new book read.

Now we're back to find our tomatoes have blight and one of our apple trees is not doing well. There's the usual unpacking and sorting through mail. But it wouldn't be vacation if there wasn't work to do at home.
