Well got up at 0630 to get ready for Penny to arrive and to get us loaded up in the van to meet Cuppy and the kiddos. I was feeling better after all the sleep I got the day before. (I probably could have called the dentist before our walk but I thought I'd wait till after.) Well Penny and I arrived before Cuppy and the kids so we decided to walk around on our own since she was so fussy. But once she was out of the carseat and in the stroller she was a happy little one.
We walked around just looking at all the pretty things along the canal, like the waterfall and some ducks, until Cuppy texted saying they were there.
With walking back to the cars to meet the others we walked .45 miles on our own.
Cuppy had had some problems with one of the boys not wanting to join us, but I think she told him if he would come he could feed the ducks. So she brought 3 slices of bread, one for each of the big kids. We started off on our walk just chatting and enjoying being together. We saw some pretty flowers and lots of ducks.
We even saw some rainbows from the water sprinklers.
We stopped at the playground again and let the kids play for a while and Cuppy and I sat with Penny and chatted and just really enjoyed watching the kids play. (I miss my kids being little and playing at the park. But they are almost grown.) We got the kids moving again and Cuppy helped me carry Penny and the stroller down the stairs. We found a place that had lots of ducks and some shade and stopped so the kids could feed the duckies.
After we ran out of bread we continued walking and the ducks followed us for quite a ways.
Skyler kept sitting down on the sidewalk in front of me so I kept acting like I was going to run him over and the Vince started doing it too. It was funny. They'd kinda scream and get up real fast and run.
The boys each found a rollypolly
I think the kids may have played harder at the playground this time or they were wore out from the week with Cuppy because they kept sitting down to rest or leaning on things. I know Dixie was moving slower this time. Cuppy even had to carry her for a bit.
It was a beautiful day. With bright blue skies and the wonderful sun and a few clouds. I love days like this. It makes me happy to be outside and with a terrific friend and wonderful kids. It just all made me very happy.
I walked 2.31 miles with Cuppy and the kids. We said our good byes and hugged. Then I loaded Penny up in the van and we headed back to my house. Where we hung out and goofed off and she crawled around until her mommy picked her up.
A good friend called too that I hadn't seen or talked to in a while and she came over for a visit. She hung out for a while and we chatted and caught up some. And then realized what time it was and that we were hungry so her and Savvy and I went to IHop for brinner. It was yummy food and great company. Today was a great day for me. I got to see two really awesome ladies and hung out with some awesome kids.
