Lazy Sunday (sort of)

After Sunday school, I took the girls to mass (they were supposed to go to 5pm mass yesterday with their step-grandmother, but that was impacted by the tournament), before we headed across town to meet the girls' aunt (my former sister-in-law), who is in town for a few days, for lunch (here's a pic). We had a typically wacky lunch (typical in that any lunch where the girls have an audience usually gets wacky), followed by ice cream cones and the park. We spent a solid two hours at the park, playing on the playground and then walking around a bit. Nearly the whole time we were walking around the girls were nagging me for their skates/scooters, so I eventually got those out of the car and they hit the trail for a bit.

After saying goodbye to their aunt, who had other people to meet up with before her short trip was over, the girls and I headed back to our side of town, but before going home ended up diverting to another park. Shelby complained (she's good at that) she didn't get to do some things she wanted to do at the park earlier, and since we weren't in a hurry to be anywhere, we stopped off at a different park on the way home. I let them play at least another hour and a half (which included more scootering/skating) before everybody got hungry and we took off for dinner.

Overall it was an extremely nice and relaxing day. I foresee a hectic week ahead, so it's probably good that we took the time to enjoy what was left of the weekend. It wasn't exactly filled with laying around or anything, but it was sort of a lazy day considering we didn't have to "do" anything.
