Saturday Night's Alright

Had a marvelous Saturday afternoon with family and friends, and I had to share.

We spent the early afternoon with The Man's cousins who live here, and his Aunt and Uncle who were visiting from California. Pizza and good conversation, including planning for the upcoming camping trip we'll be taking this July in California.

I spent late afternoon with Boodle on a movie playdate that she engineered with a schoolmate. I'm still getting used to the idea that she's starting to control her social life. What's up with that??? We met them at a local outdoor shopping center and saw Up. During which I cried three times. Stupid Pixar.

After the movie, the friend's family introduced me to crack cocaine a place called Yogurt Planet. Um, yum. A wall full of frozen yogurt dispensers, bowls the size of my head, and all the toppings you could wish for. And the yogurt? FAT FREE. I'm in love.

This outdoor shopping center has a large grassy hill area, and they frequently have live music playing. It was a group that was new to me, The Britt Lloyd Band, and they were great. The kids ran around playing tag while the grownups got their groove on under the light of a full moon. So awesome.

We got some swag from the shopping center, including a glow stick, so when we got home, I told The Man we'd been to a rave. He did not seem surprised.

3 of you HAD to say...:

Sounds to me like Texas might get a passing grade on a day like this. Interesting to hear how the kids are managing their own social lives...gives me a glimpse of what's to come.
