Busy day!!

Rachel and her friend, Rylee Ann at the Frog & Toad play

Nick's new truck...ain't she a beaut?!!

We had been at home for the past two days, so yesterday we had a "day out" planned. First, Rachel and I went to a play at the Classic Center. It was "The Frog and Toad". Very cute, but a little old for Rachel and her friend, Rylee Ann's age. However, Rachel was totally into it...clapping and giggling and trying to follow along with the characters. The only negative part was the sitting and waiting for the play to start...for 30 minutes. So, when the play lasted an additional hour, of course the girls got very tired of sitting for so long. But, they behaved well and enjoyed their first taste of live drama! After that, I took Rachel to Gege's house to play with Gege, papa and Bradley. (Bradley was already there all morning, since he wouldn't have enjoyed the play. )

Next, Nick and I went to Roswell to pick up his new truck. He decided to buy a truck so that he can have a work truck as well as a personal truck. So, he'll return his work truck to Aldridge and his new truck will be dual-purpose. Anyway, the truck is a beautiful medium blue color and has 4 doors so that it will be easy to transport the kids around. Nick was very excited to be getting a new truck of his own. The trip to Roswell on a Friday afternoon was LONG and even longer on the return home. We literally crawled for about 30 minutes on I-285. Thank goodness we don't have to do that very often.

We ended the evening at Gautreau's Cajun Cafe' in Watkinsville for dinner. It was very crowded, but the food and service were excellent. It was my birthday dinner and it was really good and something different. Nick and I ended up at Blockbuster and rented a couple of movies. When we got home, the kids were asleep...thanks to gege and papa...and we were able to rest after a long, but fun day!!
