An adventure

Our weekend looked very different than most weekends. John took Friday off and left for our "Chalet" to golf with a buddy. He spent most of Saturday there, too, so as the saying goes..."while the mouse is away, the mice will play."

We spent Friday at a local sporting goods store getting Luke outfitted with the essentials for playing flag football--helmet, cleats, mouthguard and of course a really cool under armour shirt. From there we tracked to a mall were Mom and Anna shopped the girlie stores, and the boys found their way to Gamestop and the food court. Needless to say, we ALL had a treat at the food court....can you say cinnabon???

Saturday, I made my mind up that we would be going on an adventure. A place very different than where we live... I would be taking the kids into a tourist town nearby. As soon as we pulled into the town, the kids immediately noticed that the houses were very close together and had hardly any yard. Another difference they noted was how there were lots of people walking dogs and riding bikes. I thought they would love walking up and down the main drag, seeing all of the little, old, quaint shops. Wrong-- they were more interested in a store where we got these....(caramel apples)





Ben also was more interested in this....



After tromping the streets, I took them to a park- a park that I used to visit when my older two boys were just babies and toddlers. They LOVED it!




John came home later that day and we met some neighbors at the bowling alley to get out of the heat. We ended up having a GREAT time with them and managed to come back to our house and grilled up some yummies on the grill. Sounds like a fun weekend so far.... more tomorrow. Jill
