Zach had a play date today, after school, and I'm so happy he's found a good friend to hang out with. She and he are two peas in a pod, they like the same toys, are just as rough as each other and have a blast playing together. And her parents are pretty cool, too ;) After quite a bit of play time outside with the hose (and the dog!) they spent a while on the Wii being Indiana Jones (of a lego sort) and didn't even want to leave when we were ready to head out for dinner. I was actually all prepared (and excited!) to cook a roast...tangent...our a/c hasn't been working well at all and it seems like it is FINALLY functional and really cooling off the place, so I thought I could may try using the oven again. It's been a long time. However, the roast never fully defrosted so it's in the fridge waiting until tomorrow.
So we pried the kids off the wii and headed to Squid Lips, a local restaurant set on the water. River, not ocean. They have an outside area set up like a beach, and although it's a small strip of sand and lots of rocks, Zach and Kirra were excited to go...more water play!
It was one of the best dinners we've had in a while. Not sure about the food, even though it was good...I had my appetite somewhat diverted by Zach and Kirra's exciting motherload of worms they'd found in the sand. Owen had a great time kicking around in the sand in and around the tables and chairs, getting complimented left and right by all the folks there, Kirra and Zach were splashing, swimming, digging in the sand...I'm sure we'll be headed back before too long.
An 'abandoned' boat lay on the sand, Kirra wanted to be George Washington and I think she nailed it. The nearby boardwalk was great for a quick bit of running and letting the wind dry off the wet clothes before we had to head home and deliver Kirra back to her parents. All in all a wonderful time, peaceful, no sibling fussing or fighting...ahhhhhhh. Thank-you for coming over, Kirra!
