Good Friends and a Greasy Spoon

Not much on the agenda today except I had to drive "into town," so they say, to pick up a couple CPR dummies for my long postponed CPR class for the ward YW pre-camp festivities. Since I would be downtown anyway, I thought it would be fun if we could get together with Kristen, Kate and Jack. Yea for us that they were available.







Kristen introduced us to a super-tasty, super-greasy drive-in where we ate outside along the bike path. After a BLT, corn dogs, tatertots, cheesesticks we of course had to have ice cream cones (Kristen and I indulged in chocolate-marshmallow malts). Divine. The place reminded me of Kline's Freeze in Manassas, close to home, where my dad gets his super-thick chocolate marshmallow malts.







The kids had a fantastic time chasing each other like maniacs. Keegen enjoyed eating the cast-off bits of tots and grilled cheese off of the ground. And I enjoyed hanging out with my friend watching our crazy children enjoy each other's company. The winds changed and the clouds rolled in and the cold rain came down, which was a fun way to drive home. I do love a good rainstorm!



Now both boys are passed out and while I know that I will regret having let Bode nap tonight when he won't go to bed at a decent hour, the brief little nap I just got and the ability to write this post makes it all worth it to me in the here-and-now!...
