To celebrate this monumental holiday, Brooks and I put down our textbooks for an afternoon and played hooky.
We started our afternoon off by grabbing some Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwiches at Zupas (of course), and then crossed the street to check Shopko and see if they had a kite for one of our "100 dates." Neither of us had ever been in Shopko before, and we spent about an hour marveling over their ridiculously low prices and goofed off.
After selecting the perfect kite, (We chose an airplane. It was either that or an Angry Birds head) we headed on over to the park, and "flew" our kite in the wonderful sunshine (and by that I mean we could only keep it in the air for about 3 seconds). Oh well it was still fun. Sonic loved rolling in the grass and chasing the missionaries walking to and from the temple.
It was a wonderful break from school (just a couple more weeks left!) and a tempting preview for summer. Hope your National Grilled Cheese Day was filled with fun!
Christie, Christie, Christie...what a fun post! However, I feel that somehow I failed you by not passing along my mad kite-flying skills. My all-time record kite used up 4 rolls of string! It went so high we could barely see it...on your next hooky day, maybe we'll have to go fly one together! :-)
