As usual our plate is full this weekend and I love it. This morning started off with sleeping in for me. Finally got out of bed at 8:30 this morning and for me that is sleeping in. Usually I get out of bed at 7:00. Around 9 was when Blake called asking if Mimi could come over and play. She kind of hemmed and hawed about it which I thought was quite unusual for her. Normally she bolts out the door like lightening. But today was a bit different. She wanted him to come to our house and he wanted her to go over to his. Finally she said ok, got dressed, ate breakfast and headed over to Blake's. Meanwhile the light bulb came on in my head and I thought to myself "hmmmm, dad and I could go on a hot date for breakfast". So off to Testy Chef we went. Then dad had an appointment to get his hair cut. We arrived home about 12 and I called for Mimi to come home while dad went out to do his errands.
I can be a little devil at times and told Mimi that we went to Testy Chef without her. "DAD!!!! yelled the girl. Thinking that it was his idea to go. Oh well, you snooze you lose. It was then I received the message from Andre stating that he had the kids today and was taking them down to Lake Wilderness. It is about a one hour walk from our house. So Mimi, Butch and myself met with Andre, Olivia and Jack (Jackie as he is known to us) at the lake. I drove the car. The kids had oodles and oodles of fun together.
Next thing I knew they were all huddled together looking into the lake. Apparently they saw what they thought was a dead fish. Yep, it was a dead fish that is used for bait. Every year the lake gets filled with fish, Trout I think.
Then it was time to head for home but just before leaving we saw a woman walk/run her 3 Alpacas. It is unusual but not surprising as there are several Alpaca farms out here in the country. Mimi walked with Andre and the kids while Butch and I drove home.
Andre just called and so I will have to go get the child and bring her home as she has a wet tucus from slipping in the mud at the park.
