We got up and went to a delightful bakery. Everyone got to pick their favorite and Dad and I got some coffee. We seemed to be having trouble with the doors. They wouldn't open automatically. Dad and I pushed every buttom and still couldn't figure out the problem. Finally we gave up and closed them by hand. We went to a park and ate our breakfast treats. The kids climbed. Developed elaborate games and were pushed on swings. Then we came back to the house to prepare for some swimming.
Dad took Kay out to get some new shoes while we did some swimming. Not as much fun as the other day. No other kids joined us and the painters locked us out of the club house. Bad since Petra needed to go potty. Soon Dad and Kay were back to pick us up.
We had some lunch and Sherman fell asleep in a chair. I spent some time talking and praying with a my dear friend from Michigan. So glad to have that conection renewed.
Dad wasn't feelig well so we headed out on our own for some dinner. 1st time to attempt Dad's drive way. It is about a 85 degree curve up a hill. I made it with flying colors. We went to the Twin Dragon. The kids were great. A buffet is my least favorite by myself with 5 kids but I managed a new system. Took the twin to the buffet while Kay and Reye helped me fill mine and their plates. They then went a 2nd time on their own for their food. Worked like a charm. Now Kay and Reye were low on veggies and high on fried food but hey they did have meat and fruit.
We tried to find a playground but my GPS only found parks with trails. Reye wanted to go to a game store but the only one we found was just a sign at Blockbuster. I love having the time to just give to my kids. It isn't about the stuff. It is about listening to them and seeing what they like.
Once home I put the twins down and played a bit of a game with Reye. Kay wanted to join in so I spent some time chatting with my Dad. He is doing amazingly well with the kids.
