Today we got up and headed out for another college visit, this time to the University of Maryland, College Park. Since Brady didn't want to go and Brendan also applied, we switched things up: Brady stayed home with Reaya and Brianna, and Brendan and Bobby came along for a look-see.
We didn't see the entire campus, but we did find Testudo the terrapin in front of the library and rubbed his nose. (Well, I didn't, but Abby, Brendan, and Isaac did.) We also found the statue of Jim Henson and Kermit (hence my selfie) and Charlie's newly placed brick in the alumni plaza (which eagle-eyed Isaac quickly located). I was a little surprised by my kiddos' respective reactions to the campus: while Abby seemed open to the idea, Isaac's said it was too big and he wanted to go somewhere smaller. Go figure! We'll see how he feels in four years.
We then returned to Bobby's, where many of us took naps before a tasty homemade pizza dinner (thanks Reaya!). Abby, Brianna, Isaac, and Brady then trooped through the house striking weird poses before settling on the stairs for yet more weird posing. (I have no idea why but I appreciated the group effort so it was all good.)
Now we're all on the couch and the floor watching "Encanto."
So that was our day. Partly productive, partly silly. But all good. And I am thankful.
