Saturday we just played with Grandaddy - lot of reading books. He brought some cool books that have a decision at the end of each page, and your decision affects how the story turns out. For example, "If you go into the haunted house, go to page 5. If you run back and tell your mother what you saw, go to page 8." The girls love those books.
Sunday, we took a riverboat cruise, walked over to Station Square and rode the train around the mall, watched the new orchestral fountain that moves to the music, and rode the incline to see the view.



After we came home Grandaddy helped us choose and get home a 20-foot extension ladder, and he used it to patch some shingles on the roof and put roof tar around the skylights on the back porch. He did several other odd jobs we've been trying to do ourselves for a long time.

And the biggest news is that Hank is suddenly a walker! He toddles around all over the place and suddenly is walking more than crawling. Hurray Hank! (And Hank warmed up to Grandaddy in no time at all. He's let Grandaddy hold him and take him on a few walks. Grandaddy held Hank while he slept at Station Square today, and Hank wasn't bothered a bit when he woke up in Grandaddy's arms.)
