Today we're spending close to home base. There was some discussion early this morning about whether we could do most of our laundry in the bathtub or if we had to pay the money and do it in the washing machine. We decided to compromise. The really dirty clothes that would require scrubbing went into the washer and the others are now soaking in the bathtub. Keith just agitated them with the vacuum cleaner-wand. He's so very resourceful.
We spent part of the day feeding the ducks. There are at least 20 ducklings here and about 10 adult ducks. I love ducks. These ones are particularly friendly and many will come close enough to eat out of your hand. Isaiah also loves ducks. He likes to race the ducks for the bread we throw for them. He likes to try to pick up the duckings too. He's nearly succeeded a few times. It is very cute to watch.
Most of our laundry was done by dinner time and was either in the dryers across the way or hanging on our patio furniture. We decided to take advantage of the leisure facilities. My mom bought Isaiah some board shorts for our trip so we got all swim-suited up and headed for the pool. I've taken Izer swimming once before so he wasn't too weirded out by the experience. It was fantastic to watch he and Keith play together in the kiddie pool.
It felt so good to have a quiet day at home and to get the laundry done. Isaiah was so glad to have a day away from his stroller and car seat and just to play. The downtime also helped us get ready for our big trip to Scotland tomorrow.
