Okay, I have to confess I feel a little guilty about saying that and knowing that we skipped church. However, sometimes, the best "church" takes place outside of church.
We woke up this morning NOT happy about losing an hour of sleep. Daylight Savings Time are two of the most loathed days in my family. But we've started a new tradition in our family.
It started by getting ready and going to Waffle House for breakfast. Yes, I know the stigma that surrounds Waffle House but since the indoor smoking ban, it's not as bad. They were pretty busy so we all sat at the bar. No one was allowed to text or Facebook - we only could communicate by talking to each other. The kids were amazed at the activities behind the counter. They gave their orders to the waitress and immediately noticed she didn't repeat them back to the cooks the way we gave them to her. They watched as the cooks lined up plates all across in front of the grill, the prep area and the waffle area and somehow kept from mixing them all up. We enjoyed our food as we watched the "show" and left having had a really good experience.
Then we decided it was too pretty of a day to waste so we headed to Lake Thom-A-Lex. We'd never been there, only having driven past it to go somewhere else. We had a blast! It was a little chilly but not too bad. We played on the MONSTER sized playground, took a walk, chased and then fed the geese and then played on the playground again.
Here are a few pictures and videos of our fun:
Sounds Great! Missed yall though.
