Today, Nothing Special

Today is another hot summer day, nothing spectacular to report.  Jonathan's been at work all day- tube cashier #6.  Nolan and Dan are backpacking and summited King's Peak this morning (okay, so that's kind of cool, but I don't have pictures or any details yet).  Miles and I went to Seven Peaks.  While I was paranoid of getting fried, Miles had a great time.  Last year, he loved Seven Peaks, but wouldn't go near anything that might drip water on his head.  Today he was drenching himself.  He's got an amazing memory- last summer he was content to swim in Adventure Bay and stay there until he discovered Tadpole Pond on the last day we went last season.  Today he happily played in Adventure Bay for a long time, then he said he wanted to go find the "octopus".  I didn't know what he was talking about so I told him to "show me".  He took me right over to Tadpole Pond where an octopus is painted on a wall.  He had fun in there going down a mini-slide about 20 times; he enjoyed the Lazy River, then agreed to leave when I suggested without throwing a fit.  We got home and Miles dumped his toys out all over the kitchen floor.  Typical.  Sigh.  This afternoon we went to the grocery store and bought 20 boxes of cereal.  So exciting is the life we live.
