Our 8-year old nephews, Elvis and Van, arrived Wed afternoon, chauffeured by their father. A bit road weary, after a 5 minute refresher tour of the house, they were begging to wind yarn. The last time they were here, four years ago, they wound yarn and put price tags on yarn, so they had a memory, apparently pleasant of that activity.Thursday, they helped with customer sales, wound more yarn, priced yarn, put together a large mailing for our Y2Knit Experience Buffalo participants. It was another hot day, so we didn't go out until the evening, when it cooled down. We rode bikes around Funkstown, which is much hillier than their neighborhood in Chicago. The best part was getting the bikes to the top of the big hill in the Funkstown Park (site of the historic Battle of Funkstown) and coasting to the bottom. Very fun. The boys then tried the tallest slide, which Elvis felt rated 4 out of 5.
Sally, their mom, had sent a long a jigsaw puzzle, knowing how much I love to do those. We've had our nose in that this morning.
