Our car unfortunately was not in good spirits despite the gorgeous weather. He got sick, leaving David stranded a couple miles from home with both the girls on his way home from errands on Saturday evening. A neighbor friend ended up "towing" it back home with a rope behind his Honda Pilot.
That left us without a car for church. We could have taken the bus. But I decided I wanted to use my new roller blades. So, I strapped them on with my nice trousers and fresh makeup and set off pushing the jogging stroller with Hannah in it for the three-mile ride. Dave followed close behind on his bike with Cora in her bike seat. It felt great. Until the hills. I hadn't remembered there being much of any hills. I arrived to church sweaty and red-faced and a few minutes late. We had a barbecue after the service, and I don't know if it was the endorphins or the shiny face, but I've never had so many people comment on how energetic and happy I looked!
Hannah was much happier when we weren't moving.
Cora enjoyed watching the raccoons who were very bold about asking us for some food.
The best thing about special family days is the chocolate gelato!
