It all came together nicely. The kids got to run and play at a trampoline park while the adults chatted. We had some lunch at noodle and co where the kids sat and happily chatted separately. After running through the pouring down rain, We visited a candy store for treats. Clair hates the rain but we all persevered. Finally we ended the afternoon with a game of bowling. The kids were doing well, though the older ones did ask why we didn’t have the same rails they got. I think Ethan and Ellie might be ready for old school bowling where a gutter ball is a gutter ball. next time.
The kids enjoyed each other’s company as did the adults. We love meeting the Govar’s. Everyone seems to get along really well. I wish we lived closer and I’m glad for the tomes we do meet up, usually one a year these days.
After we separated we decided to swing by a vineyard and pick up our wine then head home. The kids played war at a table near the bar while we tasted the menu. They played wel for about 15 minutes. That was really all we needed.
We headed home where he kids got baths, had dinner and watched a movie together. Meanwhile David and I enjoyed take out alone in the dining room with some wine. We were able to chat for a while.
I am greatful for days like today where we won’t work and just enjoy life. It’s especially nice when we can do it with friends too.
The kids even decided to have a sleepover tonight in Ellie’s room. I think they were up chatting until well after 10. They will be tired tomorrow. I wonder what time Clair will come to my bed for snuggles!
Life is good.
