I have to admit it; I was not looking forward to having all 3 grandchildren today. The schools were closed for MLK day, but their mother had the choice of going to work or taking the day off. I told her if she wanted to stay home, that I could keep Kennedy Thursday. She normally works Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I love spending time with them, but a cold rainy January day stuck in the house with 3 children who are so different in age is not a good arrangement. So last night she decided she would go to work. The Wildlife Refuge just opened a fabulous visitors center last week and the weather was predicted to be 75 degrees with a good chance of rain. So I crossed my fingers that the rain would hold off for a trip to the refuge. It was very overcast but warm. The grands were a joy to be with and I think they learned something also.
First we viewed the exhibits. They are excellent.

All ages enjoyed the hike on the levee.
Though the sky
was darkened with clouds,
they held back the raindrops
until our adventure was over.
