Today was playgroup and we went to Mud Island. For those of you who don't know what Mud Island is, or for those of you who have heard of it but never bothered to go (shame on you)...Mud Island is a rare gem in Memphis, that is, a really cool place to go if you're under 10. And, incidentally, free, if you know how to get there without using the monorail (which debuts in such John Grisham movies as.......um....one of them...). Mud Island is a concrete scale replica of the mighty Mississippi River, complete with running water, and if your parents are cool (and Catherine and I are sooo cool) they will let you walk in the river, climb over small bridges and under large ones. Chandler, Hannah and Sam walked the Mississippi from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, undaunted by spooky bridges with trolls. We had a blast.
