The Hero, Part II

Kevin's role as hero continues. He and Josh have returned to the Little Miami Bike Trail. They're exploring the other direction of the trail tonight.

Kevin is filling time until Josh's mom shows up tonight. Giving me another shot of quiet before the activity and noise level kicks up for the weekend.

Josh and I rode bikes today and visited a local playground. Made a lunchtime trip to Buckley's for birdfood. Played the Wii. Watered the flowers. I have the most well watered plants in southwestern Ohio this week. Josh finds anything having to do with water, the garden hose and sprayer to be great fun.

I am exhausted. The boy is still going strong and was thrilled when the new shift pulled up in the form of Grandpa Kevin.

We have a day of swimming planned for tomorrow at a waterpark near King's Island. Kevin and I won't stay long. Chemotherapy has left him very sensitive to the sun and he's still healing from Monday's surgery to have the port removed so we'll make a short visit to share a little of Josh's fun then come home.

And take a nap.
