On Monday Mr. 0 and I were feeling better but the germs had caught David (luckily they'd weakened so he was doing okay). Mr. 9 and Grandpa headed to the golf course while the rest of us took a walk and tried to geocache at the park down the street. Even though we never found the marker, we had fun exploring.
After lunch, Grandpa and Mr. 7 worked to build a remote-controlled Piper Cub airplane offered to use up some of his credit at the Boeing Store and the boys had a great time picking out treasures. Mr. 7 and Mr. 9 pooled their resources and got a remote-controlled helicopter that takes pictures. Just what a ninja-spy-detective needs.
We took the ferry across the Mississippi to Illinois for the experience and found cold drinks and snacks waiting for us at the little restaurant on the dock. We sat out on the terrace overlooking the river, enjoying the view and the company. Mr. 0 ate as many sweet potato fries as we would give him and we agreed the homemade potato chips were delicious.
After dinner, everyone went out to fly the Piper Cub except for me and the JV team. Mr. 0 came as close to crawling as he's come - if you put him on all fours, he pushes up on the feet and tries to bear crawl. He is also working on his army crawl, using his elbows to drag himself where he wants to go. It's exciting to see him really developing mobility, although he may very well skip crawling all together and start walking next week. He loves to stand, cruises, and tries to let go of your hands to walk (he can't actually walk so just falls over, but he really wants to).
