"Insta"-replay #84, out and about

Summer is in full swing but last week was more of a calm before the storm.  I caught up on reading, kids played with blocks, DSes were on often.  Since this week will be go, go, go, last weeks break was nice.

We didn't just sit around the house though.

We went to a dollar movie at the local theater.  Saw Paddington Bear which was much better than expected.  It was funny and heart touching.  As an added bonus Merry had just finish reading the book it was based on.

I also took the girls along as I walked down memory lane, sharing one of my favorite childhood traditions.  Growing up our car didn't have air conditioning so if you went grocery shopping with mom it meant a half hour ride in the hot car, it also meant icecream to eat on the ride back.

And we had a great "right place at the right time" experience.  Walked into the mall and were told, "free stuffed animals to the first 50 people down stairs."  Merry especially loves stuffed animals and I especially love free stuff!

We had a great week but now to the go, go, go!
