My brother and his family came for a visit from Washington, D.C. He had some business to attend to here and decided to bring the whole family. He and his wife have one seven year old daughter and triplet four year old sons! We always have so much fun when they come, but what energy those boys have. They were here for a week, and every day we would try to go somewhere different to keep all the kids entertained. One day we went to a children’s museum downtown and that kept them busy for about three hours. Another day we went to the zoo, and I spent a lot of time answering their questions like I was some kind of expert. They didn’t know the difference. That is what is so wonderful about young children. You get to tell them all kind of things, and they think you are some kind of cool genius. But when we would get home in the late afternoons, I would have to find something for them to do while their mom and I cooked dinner. Thank goodness for our satellite tv. They could always find some funny show on The Disney Channel or Nick, Jr. to occupy them for long enough for me to get dinner on the table. The week went by so fast, and I am pretty sure I am going to need a vacation to get over their visit.
