Afternoon/Evening

Our new dog is smart...too smart. Escaped her cage 1.5 times today. At 2 mths she's already learning to play fetch. She'll chase a tennis ball then follow me all over the house to return it to me!

The grandfather took the boys and I to the gun show today. Saw some really cool stuff dating back to the mid 1800s. The WWII generation stuff made me think of my own grandfathers one picking bodies out of the water at Normandy and the other working with chemical weapons in Kentucky. There should be many stories there. I would have liked to been the Keeper of Tales for the family but was not gifted with the ambition nor the memory.

Afterwards we spent some time at the pool then returned home for fairly typical evening chaos.

Overall happy family today.
