The Felger Post: Saturday is a good day to be with Friends....

Kevin and I were both off last Saturday so we made plans to go see our dear friends Jimmie and Lauren and their daughter Grace in Dayton. The day at work dragged since i was egarly waiting for my endtime to draw near on Friday. Once 7:30pm came i was out the door and we enjoyed the sunset drive for about an hour to our destination!

When we got there Kevin and Jimmie planned out their route and eating times for the next morning on there 9 mile run. The two of them have been training for a half marathon they are running in together in 2 weeks (Spirit of Columbus). Jimmie found some "sport beans" that they can eat for extra energy boost on the run. They are pretty good too! :-)

She cracks me up!

So innocent

she loved her cool bus tent!

We went to bed at 10:30pm and I was not tired but the boys were getting up at 6 am so I tried.... lol!

I woke at about 8am did some devotions and waited for Lauren and Grace to finish their morning routine. Then we started on breakfast, I made turkey bacon and eggs and Lauren made homemade pancakes! Yum! Funny tho she wrote the recipe wrong in her book and she added baking soda instead of baking powder and she was wondering what the aftertaste was...poor Lauren didnt hear the end of it! We also accompanied our breakfast with cantaloupe and grapes. Poor Grace was not felling well and had a hard time keeping things down that morning but she was ok the rest of the day thank God.

Walking to the market which used to be an old Train Station!

We then played alot with Grace playing peekaboo and with her musical cookie jar. She is such a sweetheart!

Next they took us to a fun indoor market lined with interesting vendors. you could buy breads, cheeses, vegetables, jewelry, pottery,seafood, and fresh flowers which Kevin let me indulge in and we went later so they were a $1 per bushel. I got three and then they added 5 more for me at no cost since they were trying to get rid of them! so exciting Lauren and I shared them when we got home and divided them up into beautiful arrangements! We also bought a cheese that you scorch on a hot skillet on both sides and serve with tomato or whatever and eat as an appetizer very yummy! And we also got cranberry orange bread!

One of the bouquets!

We went home and they made us a delicious "mexican caviar" dip for a snak to hold us over till dinner, it was made of chick peas, salsa, black beans, cilantro, limes, and corn served with tortilla chips! mmmm!

then we played "Fireball Island" its an old game but super fun and i won! lol

Lauren and Jimmie then made a homemade pizza it was delicious alongside a hearty salad.

Later we went to River Scape in downtown Dayton for live music. It was a nice night and Gracie got her groove on with the music! The area was very nice and the water front was lined with porch swings which was a nice touch!
