Belgium with my close friend Helen, her husband Ruud, and their 2 beautiful little girls. It was the first time our kids got to meet, and they had a great time together.
At one point, Ally said to me, "Mama, I'm not so lucky. Alex [Helen's older daughter] is so lucky. But not me." "Why's that?" I asked. "Because Alex has a 'park' in her backyard. She has swings and a slide. But not me."
To which I retorted, "But ... but ... well, we have a dog!" Not such a great comeback, I know, but it was the best I could come up with. I mean, Alex and Kaitlyn (the little one) are two lucky kids. Look at that house! Look at that play structure!
Anyway, we spent one lazy afternoon just lounging, chatting, eating cold cuts and chocolate (not together), and watching the kids play. It was just like old times when we would hang out and do basically nothing. Talking about what we could do with the day ... and then discovering that the day had gone by. Haha. At least no flights were missed this time ... but that's a whole other story for another blog entry.
