Three innings of morning softball for Bay (with the other three kids in tow) under ominous clouds; one in pouring rain. McDonald's drive-thru for hotcakes, hot cocoa, ice cream (?), hashbrowns, and my favorite -- a McGriddle (bacon); these items split 5 ways -- not all mine, I swear! A nap -- recooping from last night's insomnia. Two hours of free carnival rides at a muddy, but finally sunny, Forsyth Family Fest followed by "gourmet" snow cones and live music. Nine o'clock spraying of deet and settling into lawn chairs on the cool, breezy lawn of Village Hall a 1/2-block from our house for some really great fireworks (after some initial lightening bug catching). Showers, tucked into beds.
Jameson said it was "A fun day, a really fun day" (flashing million dollar smile).
Anna is becoming more consistently "redirectable" (while she maintains a light mood), AND we had a fun time today when she was tickled pink (when isn't she "pink?") when I gifted her (just as a catching-up-on-childhood moment) the African American "Our Generation" doll (just like American Girl, but at Target for 1/5 the price). She trotted upstairs with it to show it to Baylor and discuss the accessories.
Tuckered, happy kids and parents.
