This morning Heidi helped out at Humanitarian. I tested our equipment to see how well it handled keyed in lyrics for hymns. The answer is not great but possibly usable. I'd like a second opinion. Perhaps we'll get one on Saturday.
This evening at dinner time Peter was apparently tired of being indoors. He kept crying off and on so I took him outside. As is his usual he immediately cheered up once taken outdoors. He and I ended up down by the grassy field. After a while it was time for Heidi to go to Roundtable. She came and said goodbye. We made a video call back to the house and invited the other kids to join me at the park. They came running. Above is Rebecca who wanted to play catch.
Here is TJ in the foreground with Joseph running in the background. Perhaps too small to see is Peter at the edge of the grass. David and Sarah came too but I didn't get a good shot of them. When it got too dark for the park we went home. We tested out a little device called an AppleTV. I think it might be a good tool to help Gram organize her video collection. Time will tell.
Peter's Dad preferred outdoors to indoors too. When we traveled we quickly learned that he was better when the family stayed in a tent rather than a motel room.
ReplyDeleteI remember that Peter's dad was happier, watching the birds and outdoors from the lanai or one better pacing the bike path out in the front of the house. As an infant he was either found on Dad's shoulder, pacing out front or rocking with Mom in the lanai. We also found the more he could do for himself, the happier he got. And on the Great Trip of '79, Ganon had to have a pile of rocks and a direction to throw them each night we pulled into a new camp. Once Ganon was busy rock throwing, then the tent and campsite could be set up. So it isn't surprising his children love the outdoors.
