The next evening we went to the mall where we had dinner with my folks for an impromptu birthday ‘dinner’. Our son had a blast tackling the climbing tower (now that he’s old enough to do so) & was great at helping other kids out in there.
Last weekend we helped my folks move some heavy items & then went out to dinner & officially celebrated my mother’s birthday. Of course it was homecoming weekend for the local schools, so the restaurant was very busy. My mom, hubby & I each finally found a nice dish to make at the buffet (which has always been a challenge in the past).
The next day we went to a local parade where we found a great spot & our son got ¼ bag of candy from the people in the parade. The local military academy even did a drill routine in front of us. Each time someone threw candy at our son (which was every other person), he was in awe. At the end of the parade, he said “I got lots of candy!”
Then it was off to the festival which always follows the parade. It’s a nice size so you can enjoy yourself, take your time & not spend a bundle. After we grabbed some lunch there, our son immediately took to some of the rides & then played at the park with some other kids. Next it was nap time so he napped in the car while I fed our daughter & my hubby worked.
We then had a nice dinner with my in-laws. It was nice being able to get a few moments to myself just to enjoy my food.
When I took out the washable paints & covered the table while my son loved painting on paper & a few gourds. He did not even want to stop for dinner but all good things must come to an end.
