Monday Ann and Daniel and I took a little trip and had a wonderful afternoon of visiting with my two nieces and their little ones. Jennifer had driven out from Oklahoma with her two, Grant (8) and James (4) and were at Kirsten's. Kirsten has recently moved to a new town with her husband, Tim, and little Taylor (18 months), so we were excited to not only see Jenny and the boys, but also to see Kirsten's new house.
We left as soon as Daniel's swim lessons were over and in a little less than two hours we made a quick stop at a Wendy's and then programmed the GPS with Kirsten's new address. It did not fail and led us right to her door. Amazing!!!
The boys took right off from their last visit and spent all afternoon in the yard, running and playing and investigating trees and bugs. We big people, along with little Taylor, spent the afternoon visiting and catching up with our lives since our last meeting. So glad we get to see them all at least once a year!
We decided pizza out would be the perfect ending to our day and drove to a local neighborhood place and devoured several yummy pizzas--pepperoni and cheese for the boys, of course, and several "adult" pizzas including a pesto one that was especially delicious, along with an amazing pesto macaroni and cheese for Taylor (she ate it by the fistfuls!!). The weather was perfect and the pizza shop had large garage doors in the front that were open to let in the lovely late afternoon air. There was grass out front and playing out there kept the boys busy until the food arrived.
Before we all parted, I captured this photo of gang.
Such a great day!! ♥
What a wonderful outing. Did you drive back in the evening? Thanks for the post -- and the picture.
ReplyDeleteYes, we left from the pizza place. We did q quick run through Trader Joe's and got home a little after nine.
