We arrived Saturday morning, and made a brief stop at Target to replace Little Sister's special pink blankie that Mommy forgot at home, 6 hours away. Rookie mistake!! Must have been too busy packing the van 'to a T.' Then I took the girls for a drive around the ol' college campus, pointing out where their Daddy and myself had lived, taken classes, worked, etc. Big Sister kept asking, "Where were me and Sis?" I told her she was just a blink in our eye!
Then onto Wheeler Park, for a girls only picnic lunch, spinning, hide-and-seek and exploring!
Little Sister thinks that as long as she can't see you, you can't see her.
As Big Sister later related to her Daddy, "We found about a hundred ladybugs!"
Afterward, we met the Hubby at Oregano's, this amazing little Italian restaurant right off campus. Highly, highly recommended by us and pretty much every food-related magazine in the state. The girls played with dough and shared in their first 'Pizza-Cookie.'
I'm pretty sure the heavens opened and angels sang the Hallelujah chorus the moment this dessert was invented.
Later, after a family nap session in our hotel, we went downtown to Heritage Square for the Higher Ground Brass Band's performance.More pictures of that to follow, but I leave you with this teaser...
In the photo above is a certain 5 yr. old daughter whom, less than 24 hours later and upon hearing her mother tell her the word, "No," would throw her beloved Bun-Bun against a brick building, scream, "AAAHH!", and proceed to throw herself flat onto a concrete sidewalk in the middle of the Armed Forces Day parade in downtown Flagstaff, thus bursting into a tear-filled tantrum that would last at least 20 minutes.Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. ~Red Buttons
