I brought a Fire, a Flip, and an iPhone with me on this trip. And a new bigger Fire to Raymond. He gave me one of his old ones. I will probably leave it here as I don't really need two, but am enjoying it for now. I have loaded some kid stuff on it that all three children enjoy. This morning Annie had a turn on it then Alex and David were enjoying it together.
The kids have some really cool magnet toys that they can build and design with. I made a wheel this morning. It is a fun toy.
Here they are enjoying music on Grammy's iPad.
During nap time I went out back to see if I could solve the Cube with my eyes closed. This is the view of the yard from the comfy camp chair I was sitting in.
The cube started like this.
And ended like this.
And it was my first attempt on this scramble. It involved the one-by-one swapper on the edges, finishing the edges up with a 3-cycle. Then the one-by-one swapper was used to do all of the corners. I didn't have any trouble remembering the edges, but when I got to the corners my mind went blank. It took a bit of just sitting there with my eyes closed thinking about it to remember how the corners started. Then once I had the first sentence done, I had trouble remembering the second one. But I finally did and it was great to mentally work through it and get it solved on my first try.

David, Daddy and Papa Go Out
We had a nice trip to the mall. One of the stores is Globus, and that is the family name for the whole place.
When we got there I saw some birds in the parking lot that caught my attention. A little research reveal they were Rooks.
First stop, a little car ride. Of all the things David rode, I think this was his favorite.
It definitely had the most to it.
Next stop the little train.
There was a big locomotive in Sparky.
Going into the tunnel of the locomotive.
There was a display in Sparky for Rubik's Cube Brand puzzles, including keychains, 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, Magics, Snakes, and some electronicky thing. There was a QJ Skewb Ultimate there too. Raymond says the cost is around $7. Wow! I doubt I could find a price that good online. I looked a little and this was by far the best price and available here and now. I have one at home and I think it is too complex for the kiddos otherwise I would have jumped at the chance to get it.
Life is like QJ Magic Cube—
Made in China
???
no no no. Lots but not all.
Life is like QJ Magic Cube—
Choking Hazard!
???
no no no. That is not what it means.
After Sparky we went back to the train. Notice the guy in the background. He did not look like he was enjoying life at all.
One more ride before dinner.
The juice seemed to be the highlight of the day! He relished every last drop.
And of course the special day out would not have been complete without a new toy.
