Weekend of July 14-15

Of course a very big weekend as it was my birthday on the 15th.

Picked the boys up Friday night and we went to Elements of Asia for dinner. Then it was off the the latest Harry Potter movie. it was pretty good and the boys enjoyed it.

Saturday morning got up and went to a spin class at the gym. Nicholas went in the baby sitting and came out with a big smile on his face as apparently they had Star Wars Battlefront game on the video machines which we all know is the best video game of all time.

Stopped at the bagel shop to pick up bagels on the way home and then it was home for a bit of tidying up, off to get some food and to get Kieran some decent clothes as we were all going to church on Sunday.

Mary Ann arrived about 2.30pm with her Mum. She had flown to Corning in upstate NY Friday night and drove down with her Mum on Saturday morning. They arrived right in the middle of the boys cleaning my car (don;t be fooled they were doing this out of any sense of filial duty, this is how they earn their pocket money).

Rest of the afternoon was spent dropping the rental car off, doing more grocery shopping and cooking a tasty dinner for Saturday night.

Sunday MA and I woke up early and went for a 5 mile run along the the canal. Did that about 7.30 so were home by 9. Quick breakfast, shower and then it was off to church for 9.45 service.

After Mass we came home and packed picnic to take to the Swimming Quarry. Had a great afternoon there, swimming, eating, playing volleyball, swimming some more. Photos attached.
