Staycation 05.24.09

We had originally planned a beach trip for this weekend. In fact, we made reservations many, many months ago. As it turns out, we have a work-related event that takes place at the beach (yay!) soon so we canceled our beach plans for Memorial Day weekend and took a trip to Asheville last month, instead. So... we're at home this weekend. Normally, we would be completely happy to stick close to home, but there has been a near-constant downpour of rain for the past week that has made us a little cabin-feverish.

To take shelter from the rain, we went to the library yesterday afternoon, and then made a trip to the mall last night:




We caught a huge break this afternoon. The rain cleared for a few hours, and we were able to get spend some time at the park. Lauren and Grace made a friend, Kayla, and they had a great time sliding. The friendship was tested when Kayla had a front row seat for Lauren's bug phobia. A fly flew past Lauren when she was at the top of the slide, and her ear-piercing shrieks could be heard across the entire playground. Unfortunately for Kayla, she was at the top of the slide with Lauren during this incident. When we explained that "Lauren doesn't like bugs," Kayla quickly turned her interest to the much quieter Grace.

Ready, set, go!
