E-va-cu-cation

  We drove to G-town on Monday to spend the day with Grandma L.  There was gas available the whole way and no traffic.  We had been ordered to evacuate so we were worried that the opposite would be true.  We picked up Grandma and went to see butterflies before the exhibit got closed for the hurricane.

 Me and my big kids hardly fit in a selfie anymore.  But we still fit on a little bench in the butterfly exhibit.

B has been wanting an umbrella for a long time.  This was our third trip to the museum with that on his wish list.  I checked at walmart and found that kid umbrellas were about $10 either way.  They had a cool space one but the handle was a large rocket, not easy to handle.  B chose this one with sharks and fish instead.  It has been treasured and loved and coveted by L.  B sleeps with it, dances with it, and carries stuffed animals around in it.

 

 B is a super reader and I love how often he and L are tucked away somewhere reading together.

During our 3 days visit in G-town we went to the museum, pool with water slide, 3 playgrounds, 2 libraries, and Panda Express.  It was a great time and we had a lot of fun with Grandma and aunt L and aunt E.  I'm so grateful we had such a wonderful place to go to wait out the hurricane.
