We had such great plans for today. We went for an early lunch at the Gypsy Den in Santa Ana (one of our favorite places). Then we headed over to the Discovery Science Center (where Krystal volunteers) so we could enjoy the pigs they have there. When we pulled up, WOW. There were cars lined up, people lined up, it was crazy.
So, no Discovery Science Center. We thought we would head to Irvine Park so Siobhan and maybe Diego (if he is big enough) could ride the ponies. It is one of our favorite outings. But of course, due to the rain, the ponies are not open. Poor Siobhan.
I told her we would go home and take a nap (she has a bit of a cold) and I would take her to Chuck E. Cheese's. So she takes a nap, and off we go. Holy cow! There is a line outside the door at Chuck E. Cheese. Nobody over the age of 13 wants to go there THAT badly. So what to do? She has already been let down three times today. So we headed over to the Disney outlet where she had NO problem picking out a thing or two, then to ice cream. We are the only one's in Dairy Queen (could it be because it is pouring outside?). I ask her what she wants and I order it. Do you think she wants her ice cream? No, she looks at mine, and that is the one she wants. hee hee How could I not give in?
So we are at home, she has new Princess chanclas on her feet and a new Belle toy to play with. We are so sad for her! Luckily she is not a complainer and seems okay with her new toy. She knows we will do all those other things another time. Didn't there used to be a time when people went away for the long weekend?
