A Little Rock Kind of Day

Today is one of those days when I wish we still lived in North Little Rock.

In the city of Mountain Home, if it is raining, blisteringly hot, or cold, you are SOL for things to do. Unless, of course, you are rich enough to own a boat. Then you can go out on the lake in the heat. Unfortunately, I'm not one of those people.

Today, it is raining. I can think of about a million things we could be doing in Little Rock. We could cruise Target or the mall. We could go to The Wonder Place for the boys to play. Heck, we could even go to the McDonald's Play Place for them to play! We could go to the Children's Museum or the Clinton Presidential Center. We have no such places here. We are pretty much stuck inside. And if you know Spencer, you know being stuck inside is not a good way to be.

(And, yes, I've tried to convince him to go play in the rain, but we can't find his other rain boot and he's refusing to go without them. *sigh*)

It is days like these that I yearn for the city. Or at least, the bigger city. I think Jake would be content to stay here for the rest of his life. I think I would go crazy if I had to.
