No rain this morning, so Andy headed out early for his "monster ride," while the rest of us had some lazy playtime at home. After that we set out for the
Chestnut Center, an "Owl, Otter, and Wildlife Refuge." We wandered through the park on various paths that took us past lots of different animals... it's definitely the place for you if you're an otter enthusiast!
We had a nice picnic lunch at the side of a hill inside the park, and then made plans with Alison to meet up with the girls after school got out. After we got to their house, we all walked together around the corner to the school to surprise T & N (Ollie and Maddie's cousins), then walked to a new tea house
nearby and had wonderful snacks and drinks. After lots of playtime back at the house, we headed home to Hayfield, got the kids to bed, and promptly had a power outage for an hour and a half! Which turned out to be quite lovely, with the coal fire giving us warmth and light, and candles all around.
