Mother's Day weekend was spent with Mark's parents, who came for their first visit from Virginia. We had a great time...the weather on Saturday was perfect. We visited a nearby town for an International Arts Festival, where they had not only arts tents, but also music provided by musicians from different countries, as well as dances and reenactments. Of course, any time there's a fair or festival, there's wonderful aromas floating on the breeze. We strolled, shopped and munched on kettle corn, listening to the festive music in the background. Sunday was spent at church and relaxing, as the weather was quite the opposite of the day before....cold, windy and rainy. But I received calls from both my sweet boys, which just made the day perfect; and I cuddled and baked cookies with Alysa. Couldn't ask for more.
Alysa's first play was last Thursday. It was called "Bugz"...she was a butterfly. But there was just about every kind of bug you could think of. They either had a speaking part or did a dance. Of course, the butterflies had to dance! She had the best time, showing off her butterfly beauty, and singing and dancing (2 things she LOVES to do)! Here she is with her new-found friend from Mark's office.
Well, it's been a week since Mark started playing softball on a church league....first time since Alysa was a baby. He made sure to warm up before the game. But I'm afraid all those years of little to no exercise still caught up with him. He did great out on the field. But for the following week (almost) he's been feeling the effects. I was proud of him for giving it a go and he's having a good time.....that should be an indication of who didn't win!! Ha-Ha!!
