Grandkid Sleepover

(Scott AFB, IL) Hi 87 Lo 66 -- A thunderstorm woke us up this morning at 8:00, so we got up. After our morning routine we drove across base to get our military I.D. cards renewed. We waited for an hour, good time to read and play games. There was a storm while we were there but it was over when we left. It's the time of year for lots of storms.

We came back to the RV and had a bite of lunch then left to pick up the kids from school. Their parents agreed to let us "kidnap" them for the afternoon and we took them to the St. Louis Science Museum downtown. It's a do and touch kind of place with lots of activities for the kids.

Here's the boys "flying" an airplane simulator. They flew over downtown St. Louis and both of them managed to fly their plane through the St. Louis Arch.

We kept the boys all night. When we got home we had dinner, then watched Karate Kid on DVD while the kids snacked all evening (don't tell mom). Extended time with our grandboys is always very special.
