Long weekends are the best, especially when you get 6o degree weather in the middle of Feb! The weekend started off with Mama's birthday on which she was treated to a nice dinner out by Dada, Stella, and Desmond. Stella and Des were on their best behavior at the restaurant so that Mama could enjoy her dinner. Sat was fun day and all we did was fun stuff...no errands, no chores! We started off by going ice skating. Dada and Stella skated around the rink while Desmond and Mama watched from the sidelines. Des barely made a peep, fascinated by all of the people he saw and eventually went to sleep in Mama's arms without a fuss. Stella and Dada went around the rink 4 times (which took about an hour :)...hey, little legs can only skate so fast!) and by the end of it, Dada's back was ready to break. It is quite a height differential for a 6'2'' Dada to bent down to Stella's level to help her skate. The pics from ice skating aren't the best because it was pretty dim in there and the flash on the small camera has only so much range.
Ice skating was followed by lunch at the Olive Garden, one of our favorites. After that, we drove to the park and waited for Stella to wake up from her long, long nap in the car!
Ice skating can sure wear a little girl out!
C'mon, wake up Sis! I am ready to go play!
The whole family had a great time at the park and again, Desmond didn't say a peep just soaked it all in. The Gup even got a chance to go on the see saw.
Monday, we took advantage of the warm weather and went to the park again. Again, long weekends are the best!
