Hunter was off on her bike first thing to check in with her new friend. I had to run in to town, and Roger headed out and about the park with Ted, the manager. I got back from my errrand to find Hunter anxiously awaiting my arrival so she could join her friend at the pool. Swim #1 for the day.
Lunch time and Hunter insisted that she 'picnic' outside at the table. Roger & I weren't really hungry, but we got her all fixed up and Grandma sat outside with her & nibbled on watermelon while she ate her lunch.
The afternoon loomed quiet, but I had spotted a Fantastic Sam's in town, so I suggested it would be a good time for us girls to go to the beauty shop. Off we went and got there just in time for the 'shift change' and had to wait. We spent the time browsing through Glamour magazines trying to find just the 'new do' for Hunter. Our one rule was "her hair has to be long enough to go up in a high pony tail". She found a couple of 'wispy dos' and when it came to her turn, the little gal gave her the royal treatment. A shampoo, cut & style - all for $9.95. (I think she really enjoyed working with Hunter - and gave her a bargain rate).
Hunter was so pleased with the results, she 'bounced' around the rest of the day - and couldn't pass a mirror without stopping. Her hair had gotten so long and heavy it just seemed to 'weigh her down'. Took off about 4" and did some layering - and it makes the perkiest pony tail you ever did see. We have a new Hunter indeed. And wouldn't you know, we get back from the beauty shop - and the first thing Hunter wants to do: go swimming!Out of the pool, showered, and still a couple of hours to 'kill' before time to go to dinner, so Roger took us on a very slow drive through the park, sharing all the info & plans he had gleaned from Ted that morning. All the while, Hunter is riding in the bed of the truck, munching on Pringles potato chips. Of course, Grandpa is lecturing about 'ruining her supper'.
Supper tonight with Ted & Anita at the world-famous Mystic Pizza. Roger had been talking to a camper and the camper asked if we had ever eaten there. We hadn't - and frankly never heard of it - but Roger starts bragging about the Pizza Cottage at the Lake in Buckeye Lake, Ohio. The camper insisted he had been there, but the Mystic Pizza was even better. We'll see, but that's got to be SOME pizza!
Well, so much for Hunter ruining her supper. We ordered her two slices of pepperoni pizza (she was sure she could eat 3), but we convinced her to 'start' with 2. She declared that this was indeed, one GREAT pizza. Once we got her tummy full, she began to get restless, and occupied herself writing her blog on a piece of paper. Then the 'tired' kicked in and she laid her head down on the table and went sound asleep.
The pizza is one GREAT pizza, but Roger is still not convinced it's better than Pizza Cottage. Think it would take a 'side-by-side' test for him (and then he would probably call it a tie!) :>) I think it's REALLY close! We lingered long over dinner talking and then I had to get Hunter awake so we could get out of the booth. (She was sitting on the end.) Reminded me of her Dad as a kid - she was dead to the world.
Guess you could say that it had been a GREAT day!
