Another Day of Fun

Thursday morning, we took Goober to the dog park at Symmes. It was a great park, a nice little walk away from the parking lot. We saw deer, turtles, and a rabbit, BUT NO OTHER DOGS! Jeremy was in a complete funk, having accidentally carried books with him out of the car then regretting it. Zachary helped save the day by agreeing to take the books on the walk bag. We even had a few minutes to play at one of the small playgrounds.

We then went to our second Harry Potter library even in as many days. Though Madeira's event had some cool stuff (fire juggling, magic tricks, stilt walkers, live snakes, tarantula, and owls), the boys liked Loveland's better. It kept to the theme much better. Even so, I did especially enjoy seeing Zachary touch the 70 pound python at the Madeira branch! After we fought the completely full parking lot and made a long walk from our street-parking spot on a nearby street, the kids played some games, got some junk prizes, and they weren't even interested in the crafts. Zachary heckled the magician. Ugh!After the library, we had a few minutes before karate, so we stopped at Starbucks. At karate, Zachary asked to break a board with his elbow, but he didn't get it. He handled it well, but I started to worry about what would happen at testing on Saturday when he had to do the same thing.
