Adventure playground

Took the afternoon off today, leaving the store in the capable hands of staff. The goal was to visit the Adventure Playground in Orange county with Hazel and Margot. I’d seen several people post pictures of water, rafts, building, mud slides, etc etc.

Turns out there are TWO Adventure Playgrounds in OC, and I went to the wrong one. As we approached, I realized we were very near the home of Donovan and Kristin, so I sent them a quick message and turns out they were free and up for hanging out. Despite not being the intended park, the park was still really nice and we had a great time.

Kristin had a class, so Donovan and I took the kids to Ruby’s. Kids eat free on Tuesday, and gluten free buns for their burgers…. I was happy.

Shortly before she fell asleep in the car on the way home, Hazel asked who was working at the store. I said Ollin had earlier and Natalie was then. She said " tell them thank you because I had fun hanging out with you".

Hazel has her promotion from 8th grade tonight and Margot made her a card.

Margot has been drawing friendly monsters, and I’m really impressed. She drew this for Kim for mother’s Day.

Ran into this guy outside PetSmart, and now Margot wants a Tegu lizard.

Not a great picture, but this morning I woke up to the sound of someone working in the kitchen. A bit later Hazel bursts into the room proudly announcing “I made crepes!”

Hazel had her first game with the school soccer team. She played super well, especially considering it’s been 4+ months since she played a game.

Margot isn’t a fan of most cakes, so she got po tat (custard tart) for her birthday.

Hazel is home sick today. She texted me this: I’m stuck at homeSuper-duper sickNo places to roamI wish this was a trickI’m so boredThis house is so quietOutside birds soaredWhat rhymes with quietI’ll be better by tonightI wish we had more guacamoleBy friday I’ll be

We took the girls for the long promised and long overdue ear piercing, and then for some nice indian food after.
