We rescheduled our trip, and after Saige’s game, we jumped on the Turnpike and went to spend the rest of our weekend with Colin.  The kids were super excited.  Colin told them about these awesome electric scooters you can rent and drive all around the riverfront and down town.  We managed to get them rented just in time for them to turn off.   Apparently they’re only useable during the day.  They shut off half an hour before sundown.  That was apparently 5:22.   We had a good laugh about the oddity of the time.   I guess it changes every day based on the actual time of the sunset.  Who knew.  (Stanley——our Godson knew!).  

We had dinner with Colin at Norton’s brewery downtown and the kids thought that a place that serves s’mores for dessert is a definite place for their top 10 list.  

After dinner, we delivered a terrible looking birthday cake to Grace.  Pretty food just isn’t my forte.  Grace said the cake tasted fine.  I enjoyed seeing Grace and her boys for a while.  The kids were excited to see Triton, the puppy!   Always fun to see how they have grown!   The kids were a little antsy while we were there, since Colin had promised they could sit in his hot tub.  

Today, the  kids wanted to ride the scooters some more, so we attended mass at the downtown church, St. Anthony’s.   I really enjoy going to mass at old, beautiful churches.  I even snapped a few pictures.  The painting, stain glass windows, and alter are absolutely breath taking. The kids enjoyed seeing it too!   After mass, the kids all rode scooters around the riverfront.   We had lunch at Braum’s, which the kids proclaimed was almost as good as their current favorite (Dairy Queen).  We headed back home this afternoon.  We all had a great time with Colin!  I enjoyed getting to see where he works, and hearing about how he is adjusting to big city life.   I am so proud of him!   Thanks for hosting us Colin!
