Every one slept last night-including me. I woke up this morning and took the dog out. I tried to run with her for a bit but she was too into sniffing. A couple friends and I went for a walk this morning. It was really nice. Dad took the kids to Home Depot. He had to replace a bolt in the patio cover. It was a little scary but he did. The kids played outside for a long time. The kiddie pool still had water in it from yesterday, so the kids put all their outside toys in the pool to see what would float and what would sink. They also had fun with ice and watching it melt. We just played most of the morning until the early afternoon. The kids needed a bath so they got into the bath. Nicole didn’t want to stay in the bath too long; she was hoping the faster she got out the faster she would watch TV. The kids watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and played Leapsters. We went outside on the greenbelt and threw balls for Zoe. Bret had a great idea to go to the Old Spaghetti Factory, a little far but it was nice. The kids colored all the way there-they were excited as they had never done that before. We had a great dinner and the ice-cream at the end just made it perfect. We were hoping we would have had time to go to the beach but we wanted to get home at a decent hour. The kids really wanted to go to Lower Peter’s Canyon AKA monkey bar park. So we stopped on the way home. Nicole is determined to do the monkey bars, she was on them the entire time. Justin is getting the hang of it. On the way home, Nicole was busy commenting on everyone, bikers not wearing helmets or shoes. It is so funny as she is one to judge since she went to the mall and other places in her bathing suit. HA HA. Well we have had a hard time getting the kids to bed lately, they are just awake talking and talking. We had hoped we had tired them out at the park. Work for Bret tomorrow 🙁
