Life: Busy busy bees!

We've been very busy this weekend. Our niece celebrated her seventh birthday on July 4Th so we spent the day at her parents home. Good food, good fellowship and great fireworks. I got so tired of helping kids light fireworks thought that I was seeing double when I looked for fuses. And did you know that you can no longer hold smoke bombs in your hand to write your name on the sidewalk. They are made completely differently than the hard outer shelled smoke bombs of my youth (or even my NOT SO youth). And I am pretty sure that the sparklers don't last nearly as long, even if they do change colors and various other fancy tricks.

On Saturday we had a night out with friends from church. Bowling and dinner. Bowling was a hoot! It has been a long time since we've been bowling and it showed in our scores (which I will not share with you no matter what!) Except for the stunning embarrassment, we had a great time. Dinner at Cracker Barrel, since it was very close to the bowling alley. Once again, I am not all that impressed with Cracker Barrel. It is Mallory's favorite restaurant, and I have to admit that when we have been on vacation and not getting home cooked food a lot, then it's definitely on my list of places I like to go, just to get some home cooked food. Since we haven't been on vacation and I tend to cook almost every night when we are home, it isn't my favorite place to go. The service left a lot to be desired, the waitress was kind but the food was not brought out to our table on a good time frame. By the time the last member of our party was served the first had been finished eating for some time. I did enjoy my meal, though I usually like to eat at restaurants that serve food that I normally won't fix at home. The conversation was great and I really enjoyed myself.

Church this morning and lunch at Las Palmos, the kids couldn't let us outdo them by eating out on Saturday and not taking them to eat out today eh? I got a seafood Chimichanga,yum!! It WAS good, and definitely something I wouldn't cook at home.

Water park day tomorrow, everyone is excited, since we missed last week due to an ear infection that Daniel was suffering from. Also Vacation Bible School starts tomorrow night so it should be a fun and very busy day.

I will be M.I.A. on my blog and probably message boards and email most of the week.
Hope you all have a great week!
