Summer Fun with the KIds

The kids and I have had a great day today. We headed out for some Mexican food for our lunch and picked up speed from there. I needed to go by the library and pay my $2.40 fine before the police came a knocking at our door. While we were there Makayla found a couple books she couldn't leave behind. Nick and Alli read theres while they were there. Nick has been wanting to go the Arboretum for quite some time so he could do some drawing and enjoy the tranquil setting. It was decided that Alli and Nick would go to the Arboretum for about an hour while Mak and I ran to one of my favorite stores of late and do a little shopping. We made plans to meet them back at the gate exactly one hour from drop off. As we drove away we noticed that a couple of rain drops hit the windshield - while we were discussing weather I should turn around the Heavens opened up and it just started to pour. It had been about 3 mins since I dropped the kids off and it didn't look like rain. We turned around and they were huddled together near a wooden sign waiting for us. We honked and they rain to the car - laughing the whole way. Mak was just cracking up. So we all headed to Hudson's to wait out the rain. On the way out Nick found a 20.00 bill on the parking lot. We were all shocked. So he treated us all to an ice cream at Wendy's and we headed back to the Arboretum together. The girls and I enjoyed our ice cream at the Pavilion while Nick did some sketching. We had a
great time together and just enjoyed the cool breezes and temperatures that the rain brought with it. Praise the Lord for such great kids and a chance to make some memorys together.
