Our first full day in Ohio was packed with fun, starting with Grandma Cam showing Simon her tackle box. It was rainy, so in the morning we all headed out to a farmer's market and the Fishing Warehouse, where Cam let Simon pick out some things for an early birthday present. We went back home for lunch, then dropped Simon and Zac off at the pond at Slate Run Metro Park to fish, while Cam, Alice and I proceeded on to the Lithopolis Library. It's a really old building with a garden area out front. This time, they had a lot of Fairy and Gnome gardens set up, so it was extra fun walking around exploring. After the library, we joined Zac and Simon at the ponds, then played at the playground for a while, where we encountered a chicken that had probably escaped from the historic farm nearby. In the evening, the kids painted and played outside. We finished off the night with a scrabble game and some Cherry Bounce (homemade by Cam's friend Craig).
