Fun in the Sun!

Well, yesterday we had a long day. I started the day with a half marathon. I literally ran from Boone to Blowing Rock. The kids and Chris met me at the finish line which was a horse stable. We got to see some horsies and listen to them neigh. A really liked that though it kind of scared G. After that we went to our old park and played with friends. After friends we took Chris to Beer Fest. (The beer brewing science is a subdepartment of the chemistry department at ASU and so Chris has several friends who teach there) He went and sampled several local brews and helped with take down of the event. While he was there the kids and I went to coffee at the top of the stairs (A's 2nd favorite coffee shop) and played in the park. After we got pizza we played in front of the library. It was a lot of fun -- there is a statue there and we made up stories that the girl was "reading" and we acted them out in the grass. The instructions were, "You can't go off of the grass" so A sat down on the concrete to take her shoes off (go her being adventurous!) and told me she was still on the grass since her feet were still on the grass. We acted several parts of stories for all the people walking by and just had a lot of fun. Today we went to church in town and will see about going back. We can easily walk there and they have a LOT of family stuff so that is enticing. We shall see. We also went to the pool and played. A wanted to go in the big pool and since Chris was there we could split the kids up and make that happen. She did NOT want to get her hair wet and went up and down in the air several times making big splashes, but not getting her hair actually wet. No pictures from the during, but from afterwards in the car. G liked the wading pool and tried to walk. He's fairly steady on ground, but water was a different story. :)
