Rockin' Lunch Hour

We finally had the first truly nice day in over a week and Aidan and I took full advantage. The city where we live has Rockin' Lunch Hour every Thursday at noon during the summer for pre-school age kids and yesterday was opening day. It's an outdoor kid's concert and there are wading pools and streams, along with kid-sized water geysers to play in. Aidan and I walked up to the park and Molly, Charlotte, and Maggie joined us for the fun. We had a picnic lunch while the music was playing, then Aidan and Charlotte splashed around in the stream and ran around on the plaza. It was a blast! We will definitely be going every Thursday that it's nice outside if any of you readers would care to join us!

After the show was over and Aidan and Charlotte were soaked from playing in the water, we walked across the street to my favorite little ice cream shop. It was closed! Forever! It's so sad when great little places like ice cream shops have to close because they can't get enough business. There's nothing better than an ice cream cone on a hot summer day. Especially one within walking distance from your house. Since there aren't any other ice cream places nearby, we improvised with packaged ice cream bars from the wine/coffee shop next door and ate them on the patio. We had a fantastic afternoon and can't wait to do it again!
