After Fritz's, we swung by the Crayola store on a tip from a friend. The kids enjoyed poking around here, but we were perilously close to nap time, so we packed up and went back to the hotel.
John held the big kids in the lobby for a few minutes while I settled Gemma. Then, the big kids watched some tv on our laptop and John and I snagged a nap. It was delicious. At times, it is very inconvenient to plan the activities of a whole family around one little person's sleep schedule. Other times, it is nice to be forced to slow down and rest a little.
That evening, we went for dinner and then to the craft store. William has been begging for a rubber band bracelet making kit (more on this later). He has worked hard at home lately to earn a kit and he finally had done it. We were going to pick one up when we got home, but he was so excited about spotting a Mike's craft store, we had to stop (and really, I will never turn down a trip to the craft store. Ever.)
Right next to the craft store was a bookstore. Can you picture a more perfect place? A bookstore and craft store? HEAVEN! John was not persuaded, but I would move to Kansas City just based on this.
After a too brief trip to the book store, we had to return to the hotel for bedtime.
John stayed in the lobby with the big kids checking out the rubber band kit and I put Gemma to bed.
