It poured rain--Texas-like rain, well, for Connecticut--all day. I know they wanted snow--it might snow the day they leave.
We started the day with breakfast at one of our new favorite corner restaurants--peaches and cream-stuffed French toast, African hash, crabmeat quesadillas, beef empanadas, crabcake eggs Benedict--yum! Pop and Gommie were smitten (though, not "smitten when they were bitten by the kitten Mittens"--our wordplay of the day) and hope to go back again this trip. We're also thinking of some Indian food later.
After some games, we went to the ice rink, where Sis tried her new skates (thanks, G&P!) and Bud tried again. We saw a few family friends and watched everybody go round and round. Sis definitely has skill and confidence and Bud is getting better. And I'm always just amazed to see them tackle a new thing, pretty much all alone.
Popcorn, hot chocolate, some crocheting, and more games made up the bulk of the remainder of the day til dinner of ham, cabbage, sweet potatoes, and a batch of red beans. Gommie and Pop retired early (our four, at least, were showing the wear of a week of late nights and activities) and the kids played a little MarioKart with Mama before heading to bed.
Bud's already asleep, with Sis on her way.
