Shelby went to the Medival Fair with her mother this morning to watch some members of her fencing troop compete in sword fighting contests. She wore the belly dancer outfit she got from her aunt (a belly dancer) last Christmas and even danced a little with the belly dancers. But she got a nice sunburn out of the deal, her first of the season.
Darby had a first communion class and so couldn't go to the Med Fair. Instead I took her to her choice of lunch places, which was Nothing But Noodles, followed by a relaxing stroll along the Bricktown canal. It was the most perfect weather day in recent memory, as we walked the trail with a slight breeze blowing to keep the 70-degree temperature feeling just right under the cloudless blue sky. We walked just long enough for Darby to have worked off her lunch, so she then got some ice cream from Marble Slab. We could have just sat there all day in that awesome weather, but it was time to pick up Shelby at that point, so we knew our much enjoyed calm had come to an end.
After picking up Shelby we went skating/scootering at a lake trail. Darby and I had roller blades and Shelby had a scooter. It seemed like a good idea at the time as Shelby can barely skate, but we started to hear about it not long after we got underway. At one point she fell over, off the scooter, and then in racing back to get to her I fell onto my butt, too. Well, actually onto my side, which still hurts along with my elbow (and my fist from last night).
When the girls got tired of skating/falling, we put the skates up and they played at the park for a couple hours before we grabbed some dinner and spent a bit in a book store getting books for the girls' next book reports.
