Thin Places, Thick Places (Series)
Day 25
Making everyone happy.
It's not easy being in constant motion and flux with a 13 yr old, an 11 year old, and an 8 year old.
Everyone has different needs and tolerances. The 13 year old, Ms. A, is an incredible traveler. She BARELY complains. The 8 year old can drive her her nuts (legitimately), but overall Ms. A is a traveling dream.
Mr. J is a carbonated beverage that has been shaken. There is NO END to his capacity for movement, mind puzzles, brain teasers. He is undaunted and the world is a playground.
Miss I is 8 yrs old. She gets bored...and fast. She gets grouchy...and fast. She doesn't get the meaning out of the deeper things like history and age-old stories.
So...how does one select interesting and relevant activities for all three kiddos? It's very challenging.
Today we went to the Berlin Zoo. It was LOVELY. The animals seemed very healthy and content. This activity made us all very happy. Even though it rained on us.
Agent Shades' needs were met with a big cold German beer in a very large glass mug.
I'm happy to be twenty seconds away from sleeping for the evening.
