Glorious OUTings

Because the weather has been GLORIOUS this past week,
we took advantage of it and ventured out of our Happy Home.

The first OUTing we undertook was a little stroll to Arctic Circle.
It is conveniently located only 2 blocks from where we live. You may be thinking we visited this WONDERFUL Ice Cream Creator for it's WONDERFUL Ice Cream...but that was not the case THIS time (it IS the case EVERY OTHER TIME). We stopped by to let Brayden enjoy the slides that are inside Arctic Circle.
("Why not go to a park?" you wonder...A park was our first choice, but there were 2 reasons for our outing that day...First, to BE OUTSIDE and second, to return a DVD to a Redbox which was located very close to the Arctic Circle). Cam purposefully left all forms of money at home so we would not give into the inevitable temptation of their WONDERFUL Ice Cream.
But guess what? While we were enjoying Brayden's laughter as he enjoyed sliding,

a very nice Lady worker offered FREE WONDERFUL Mini Ice Cream Cone samplers.

WOW!

That Ice Cream was WONDERFUL!!!!



Then back into the 2-seater stroller our 2 children went
And back home we strolled.

FANTASTIC OUTing...


The second OUTing we went to is located right behind our living quarters.
It is called...
The Backyard.
Cam was not able to join us on this outing. He was cheerfully helping the many, many customers who came to visit him at his place of work: the Walmart Pharmacy. (This is the place that assists him in 'bringing-home-the-bacon'.)
So, while a pan of Tator-tot/Hashbrowns Casserole(I ran out of Tator-tots and used Hashbrowns for the remaining uncovered part because I figured since Tator-tots and Hashbrowns come from the same family, Potato, it would all taste the same...) baked in the oven, me and Brayden kicked a beach ball into a soccer net, around the yard, and almost over the not-so-tall fence and Aydrie worked on perfecting her new-found hobby - sticking her tiny fist into her mouth...she's very close at getting it all the way in there! She also enjoyed staring at the grass as she lay on her tummy.








Another successful OUTing...




Thank GOODNESS for GLORIOUS weather!
