Old Shawnee Town and March Madness with Hadley

Today is still spring break for the kids, though it was kind of a rainy day. Halie decided to take the kids on a little tour of Shawnee. None of us had been to the Johnson County Museum so they started there. They enjoyed the post office, but there isn't a ton of kid stuff there, so they soon moved on to to Old Shawnee Town.

They liked this a lot, especially because they got to walk between buildings in the rain. They love rain. Meghan is working on getting them so rain gear so they can be out in it more. They tried out a one-room school house. I am sure Joshua is not looking at the clock, waiting for the time to be over, but it kind of looks like it (did they even have clocks in school back then?).

The big hit of Old Shawnee Town was laundry. They loved the laundry. They got to scrub clothes.

And then wring them and hang them. They loved this. Pretty much anything involving water in any way is going to be a big hit with them. It was a fun day and a great way to get out despite the rain.

The first two days of the NCAA tournament are always two of my favorite sports days of the year.  It's fun to watch the barrage of games and match up the results against my bracket.  This year I met Jason Keeler out for the afternoon.  We watched the first few games at Sully's Pub, but then relocated to Saints.  On the way, he stopped by his house and picked up his daughter Hadley, who watched the rest of the games in the afternoon before they had to head home for dinner and bathtime.  Later I joined them so I could hang out with Hudson and Hadley before bedtime.  Here Hadley and I pose for a picture at Saints,
