Here we are:
Thea told me that I would love four. She was right. Four is agreeable, four is slightly more detailed conversation, four is slightly less dramatic and exhausting. Four is Fun.
Saturday the kids and I went made it to Conner Prairie, and had the best.day.ever.
We started our visit at the indoor play area, where there was a pioneer kitchen, a play farm (complete with a cow to milk), a general store and a giant train table. I think they would have stayed there forever if there wasn’t the promise of real live animals out in the barns. We saw animals, MAM petted said animals, Jr. roared at all of them. We rode the Tram (very exciting! It’s like a train, Mama, but it’s on the road!), and each time we saw the map, MAM stopped and found where we were, and where we were going. She retraced our entire route, each time she saw a map.
We played in a 19th century school house, walked through a covered bridge, saw a carpenter making the cross-bar of a window frame and played with the wood shavings. We smelled drying herbs, and saw the world’s largest hot air balloon.
We are here. And here is gooood.
That sounds like a great day!
Ah, “Four is agreeable.” I like that sentiment, and we are really starting to see the same as we round the corner from 3 1/2. Looks like youguys had a great time–loved it that Jr. roared at the animals. so sweet!
