Splitting Activities

If you have a large family or grew up in a large family, you know that there are times when parents have to split the kids up for activities. Sunday was no different for us. 

Abi attended the Reds vs Tampa Bay game with Toby. She received two free tickets for completing community service with her school. 

All decked out in red for the game!

Georgia and Emily were stuck with me for the day. We started things off with some sun and Starbucks. Emily has been drinking coffee off and on since 5th grade. The caffeine has the opposite effect with her; it helps her to focus. Now she's allowed to have a whole cup to herself and add a bit of sugar and cream. At Starbucks, she likes to be fancy with her frapps. 

And yes, she did shorten her hair. 

Georgia enjoyed the chairs and sun more than anything else. She plays a mean game of Eye Spy. 

not sure what she's doing in this one. 

Em left to attend her Girl Scout meeting leaving Georgia and I to contemplate our next actions. We decided to play at a park for a bit until the sun just got to be too much for my little blonde. Then we headed to Kroger's for some sushi. We LOVE sushi in our house! 

yum!

We played at one more park before we had to pick Emily up and head home for Massie. It's been a long day and there's still daylight left. I guess its time to sit under the tree outside and read a good book. Georgia is hooked on fables right now. Her favorite is "The Old Man and the Rice Balls." 

Georgia can't wait to see a whale in Alaska! 

Today was just a small adventure leading up to our large adventure in Alaska.
