A few hours ago a friend of Paul's called up and asks if he wanted to bring the girls and meet him and his daughter at the mall play area for a playdate. Cool! They get to go do something fun and have special daddy time and I get the evening to myself! I'm sitting here with a glass of wine, contemplating taking my first bubble bath in 2 or 3 years. Ooh, maybe I'll paint my toenails while I'm at it! And fingernails, too, because as if that's not enough I have a girl's night out tomorrow with some high school friends that I haven't seen in a long time and because of that, (it keeps getting better and better) Paul is taking the girls to his parents for the WHOLE DAY and will visit some friends while he's there. So I basically have the next 24 hours to myself! That's never happened before! I'm so excited. The mall by where we used to live has a whole bunch of new stores in and around it, so I'm going to go check it out. Can't wait!
Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island. When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground. So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time). The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders. They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits. They were SO sandy and wet coming home.
