Perfect Day

We had a perfect day on Saturday, one we have not had in a long time. First let me say that most of our family time is going to WalMart, Target or spent at home. So on Saturday we decided to start the day by washing both our cars. When we got there we decided to have a full detail on both cars- yeah, had no idea it takes 3 hours for a full detail. So there we are on Bluff street trying to burn 3 hours and did I mention it would be on foot? With a girl who is very active and loves to run everywhere? And a Dad who is not so active? Yeah, I thought it was going to be such a challenge to keep BOTH of them happy. So what can I do that will make them happy? FOOD was my first thought. So we walked to Denny's and ate there. Now that we are done, I see a smiling husband who is happy with a full tummy and a daughter who is now full and ready to burn all the calories she just ate. We walked to Fiesta Fun and walked around for a while then played for about an hour. Soon after we had to find something else because my daughter was starting to get bored. Luckily, there was a park right by. On our way there my daughter is holding both our hands making us do the 1-2-3 swing...my arm is burning! We all played on the playground and then we took her to the swing which was a BIG mistake. She loves the swing and could (and would) stay there all day. The only thing that saved us from a temper tantrum was the dog park. Oh boy am I thankful for that dog park! She loves dogs and refers to them as Bubba or Doodoo. Wow, she was excited to go there and scream those names. Bubba and Doodoo(Duke) are our dogs at home. Anyway, we stayed for a while until we realized our 3 hours were up... YAY! We walked back but didn't see our cars so we walked to Dairy Queen and got a couple of shakes. The end of the 4 hours approached and we finally were able to use our cars again. I was happy to be out of the sun and happy to see my daughter and husband both survived the day walking, running, playing and enjoying our family time together.
