We were invited to a baseball game on Friday night. Unfortunately, hubby had to work late and was out in 95+ degree weather all day (he is a letter carrier) and just wasn't up to sitting in it for 3 more hours. So, we tried to come up with something that would be fun for the kiddos and we could all still be together. Who would have thought that a dinner/dessert evening at Friendly's could be SO much fun?
Between the chicken tenders on a stick
and the amazing looking (and tasting) desserts, the kids had a blast. It is a very family-friendly place and the kiddos were literally fawned over by the staff. :-)
On Saturday afternoon, the kids spent some time in the pool and I actually joined in with them (no pics, though, since I was in the pool with the kiddos and there wasn't anyone else around to take the photo!) We had a lot of fun and with the heat, the water was actually nice and warm. :-)
On Sunday after church, we headed to the nature center to release our latest set of butterflies. When we had only 6 of the 10 caterpillars become butterflies last time, the company stood by their guarantee and send us another 5 caterpillars! Yay! We were able to witness the amazing metamorphysis all over again.
All of the butterflies in the butterfly house were so friendly, including ours. They landed on our hands, arms and hair. There is nothing like a little butterfly kiss! ;-) It made the kiddos (and I!) feel a little less sad to let them go when we saw how happy they were to have such a large and new home to live in and thrive for the remaining days of their lives. And there was a brief biology lesson last night since the kiddos witnessed them mating, lol, so we knew that we wanted to bring them to their new home as soon as possible so a whole new generation could begin. :-)
