Walked to church!

This morning started just like every other morning here has, with a little 3 year old whispering, "Mommy! Mommy! Can I go to the bathroom in your room? Mommy! When it's morning, can you get me something to eat and drink? Mommy! Are you getting up now??" After some totally delicious toast, made with the Farmer's market bread from yesterday - my favourite was the dark chocolate cherry - can't wait to try baking THAT! Scott and I jumped (yes, we jumped), on his motorbike to head just up the street to check out the Litchfield Farmer's market! It was just a little tiny one, but sooo cute, on the front lawn of resorty country club or golf course or something. There weren't a lot of booths, but we had coffee and wandered around on the lovely lush green grass. Then we walked into the hotel to buy a Sunday paper, and peeked at the beautiful pool/waterslide area, marvelled at the beautifully decorated building with dark wood floors, tile, rough wooden furniture and unusual light fixtures! We went home to grab the girls, and headed off to walk to the same church we attended last week. Anika and Madie rode their bikes, it was lovely to wear shorts/capris/sundresses and walk to church in March! It was a beautiful day with not a cloud in the sky! Madie went to her own class this week, about 20 grade two's! Tia went with Anika, and the rest of us listened to a sermon on Revelations! After church we walked back home for (turkey)bacon and tomatoe sandwiches, and then Scott gleefully headed off on his planned afternoon motorbike trip! The girlies spent the afternoon as women of leisure. We swam for a long time - it was HOT this afternoon! This weekend was really busy at the pool - way busier than we've seen it! Our noise/toys are much less noticeable than they were a couple of weeks ago! haha! After that we walked to the park, (the 2 little bike riders rode), and I learned how to fix a bike chain...twice. Yes, it's true - after 14 years of parenting, this was the first opportunity I have had to fix a bike chain. How we grow, hey? On the way back stopped at the amphitheater which is in our back yard. There's a concrete stage, in front of cool 'bleachers' made of concrete with grass tops, so I saw a bike show, then a tap dance, then a trike show - awesome!! Scott joined us as we were performing! Chili's for supper, then we walked over to "Barnes and Noble" - as I wanted to buy the girls a book about the grand canyon before we see the real thing!
