Swimming, Mall Play, and Games

On Thursday morning we went over to Breckenridge Park behind Jordan and Andrea's house. The kids played on the playground and then went down the creek and played there. Later, back at the house, the kids played outside, drawing on the driveway with chalk and chasing Fritz around the yard. Some friends of Andrea's came over later to swim with us--Tracy Sparks and her two younger boys and Ave Cantrell and her son Creighton. That was after lunch, so the younger kids (Matthew, Eliza, Travis) were down for naps. Corey stayed in the house during the first part of naps, until Caleb and Travis both came outside. Even Eliza came out for a little while. After swimming most of the afternoon, Andrea and I went to a mall there (can't remember the name of the mall) where they had a fabulous play area and a carousel. Ave and Creighton also went. We had slushees (from Sonic--I think that's what they're called) in the food court and then went on the carousel, after which the kids played in the play area for a while. We went home and ate dinner and the kids all went to bed. We adults played Scattergories until late.
