Out and About
Got some good news today that definitely helped offset the ick that was yesterday.
Also went hung out with Rachel tonight. We met up at Crossgates and had dinner at Friendly’s, since I was craving a milkshake. Yara was so cute during our meal, she spent the entire time watching a baby at the booth across from us. It was really adorable, especially since she was resting her head on my foot the entire time like it was a pillow.
Since we were felt so stuffed after eating, we felt obligated to walk the mall.¹ We stopped at Penney’s to see if Yara’s photos were up yet, and they still aren’t. Jean wasn’t around so I couldn’t badger her more. On our reverse trip through the mall I joked that so far it hadn’t been a “real” trip since I hadn’t yet made a child cry. And not five seconds later did Yara very nearly scare a little girl so badly she very nearly broke into tears. Poor thing. She was on one side of a table and we came up kitty-corner to it and startled her, which in turn made Yara jump a little in surprise and scared the girl even more.
Still, we headed on to Borders and wandered through the aisles, looking at books. And then decided to take a trip to Michael’s to pick up some odds and ends Rachel needed for some crocheting projects. I got to see her mom again, since she works at the store. We browsed around for a bit and finally decided it was time to head home, during which I snapped this other photo because it just was too cute not to share.
1. Crossgates is over a mile in length from one end to the other, so it’s a pretty decent walk back and forth.
