With the fort complete at 10:30pm Thursday Night, Friday meant it was time to get to Arab.

Perfect planning, deserves perfect execution, right?
Saturday was fairly well organized: dance class, lunch, naps and Main Street Festival.
Which means CAKE, the all important food group.

It looks Thursday and Friday are total washouts. They are predicting inches of rain here so it’s just as well that we stay home and let William play in warm baths.
The first order of business after getting home was hugs from Grandmomma, Poppa and sister followed by the suggested warm bath. Everyone was excited to see William out of his cast.
It was a very busy day overall with less breaks in it than I had expected. MaryAlice and Roy came up as they had been invited to story time by MaryVic. William rode along unaware of all that the day had in store for him…
