Dancing in the rain (almost.)


September 14, Harvard, Illinois (30 miles, Milky Way park.)
There were some permits problem in the town that had been booked for today (Waukegan, north of Chicago on the lake) so we jumped to this town and won a day off (but not for circus Moms.)
Yet more rain, the field becoming a lake in parts, and cabin fever creeping in, so we headed to the usual place called for in drastic situations, Walmart, where the kids can run around in the toy section for hours and you don't ever have to fix the messes. After spending a lot of money we ended up next door at McDonald's, another place where you don't have to fix the messes, because we were all starving and cooking didn't seem like such a great idea. First ever French fries for Nicolas, Batman ship for Dylan, bliss.
Who knew life with kids in a trailer on the road with the circus could be so easy on a rainy day?

Dylan checking to see if his Papa's mouth is properly empty - Rule 1: always leave your mouth empty before filling it again.
