This past Saturday, I took the kids to visit my aunt Hilda. It's a pretty long drive from here so we don't make it over there too often. They weren't really looking forward to it but in the end they had a really good time.
We got there and the kids immediately started climbing this magnolia tree she has in her front yard. They kept saying it was the best climbing tree ever. And it did look pretty fun! Auntie was hungry though, so we cut it short and headed over to Red Lobster for lunch. We talked my dad into going too. Liv had popcorn shrimp, Mary had clam chowder, Alex had chicken fingers - big surprise there! The food was good, everyone behaved, and we were rewarded with a trip to the toy store! The kids were excited. We don't have a Toys R Us near us so this was a treat. Alex chose a DS game, Mary a tea set, Liv a webkinz knock off. We went back to Auntie's to climb the tree some more. We played in the back yard too. She has a pool that is empty so the kids liked running around inside of it. Weird. Mary fed the birds, her and Alex threw berries in the pool, they played chase - I think it was fun! We headed back home at around 6pm. Jay was out playing golf and wasn't due home until later.
Tara called and invited me to a late movie, it worked out great since Jay didn't get home until after 9 and the movie started at 10. Lisa and I drove over there and joined Tara and Natalie - we saw Definitely Maybe. It was cute. It was more fun just being out.
All in all, a good Saturday!
