Weekend

Despite not being overly pleased about the idea of Mother's Day we made it a good weekend.

On Saturday, Luke to Julia to a class about communion at the church and Lauren and I hung out.  When they got back we ate lunch and drove up to Denver and went to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.  The girls LOVED it and Luke and I had never been there and we had a great time goiong through the exhibits.  We topped off the visit with a volcano movie at the IMAX.  After the museum we drove over the the 16th street mall (a large pedestrian walking mall downtown) and walked and had dinner outside at the Cheesecake factory and then drove home.  It was a wonderful day of doing something different as a family.

On Sunday we had already decided to not go to church in the morning.  The idea of me sitting in the choir loft during all the mother's day mentions was not appealling and singing the same song we sing every year on Mother's Day was not appealling either.  So - we relaxed in the morning for a while and then Luke took the kids to church just to do his greeting/handicap assistance post but he wanted to leave me home in peace and people enjoyed the girls greeting.

They cam home with some sunflowers for me and we hung out the rest of the afternoon and had an early dinner and then went to the 5:30 service at church followed by a concert by Chi Rho - and men's acapella group from Wake Forest University.

All in all and good weekend and not terribly hard.
