So this is totally backdated. While I was in the states, I often baby-sat for my sister. I would be at her house at noon, when the pre-school bus dropped off her youngest and we would hang out until 3:30 when it was time to walk down to pick up her older 2. Frequently we would leave the house right after naptime and go to the park to play. The kids had a blast playing with cousin Mayah, except Nick who mostly slept!
So then my family, nice as can be, decided that instead of listening to me sit at home and moan about missing Mike our anniversary, we would all go to the Renaissance Festival in Kansas City. It's a family favorite, and it just happened to be the Scottish weekend, bagpipes galore! However I didn't feel like MY kids would enjoy it so they stayed at home with great grandma and grandpa, and I enjoyed the day with my neices and nephew instead!
