On Monday, the boys asked me to come out to look at this critter in the backyard.
We concluded that it is a gopher?
On Tuesday, the Negotiator had an activity at the nearby library. The Reader and I (and Hope) took a walk at the park by the library.
Then he wanted to wade in the creek.
And this is what the Negotiator made: a marble maze (we updated a bit at home).
When the days seemed cooler, I went out for afternoon walks with Hope.
