It finally happened today- the kids woke up at 7 am MST. We had a busy day ahead of us. We needed to get the kids alittle something to tide them over to the brunch at the church. You know kids can’t really wait when they are hungry. So we went down and had “first breakfast”- a bowl of cereal. I went retro with Corn Pops while they had the Special K with berries. Then I took the stir-crazy mob of 2 on a walk to the local golf course. They love looking at the cacti. I also pulled a super ball out of a palm tree and they spent 5 minutes tossing it into the netting by one of the holes. Gotta love kids!
We then headed to the brunch to meet more members of the congregation. It was a good time. I enjoyed some yummy salad and hash browns, and the first time I’ve had Quiche in about 20 years. The kids then went outside while CavWife and I interacted with people. I enjoyed talking with a World Harvest missionary from London who is home on furlough. Then (as CavWife says) I held court, talking with a bunch of guys about R.C. Sproul, Cornelius Van Til, apologetics, the Marrow Controversy and a variety of other subjects they brought up. Before we knew it it was after noon and time to head back.
The kids were tired from running around, but we knew they would need something to tide them over until dinner since second breakfast was at 10. We picked up some popcorn chicken at KFC, ate and put those nubbers down to sleep. I took a nap too.
We got them up around 3:30 and met with the real estate agent around 4 to look at some properties. There is one CavWife really loves on the north end of town- nice neighborhood, roomy home, big backyard and great views of the mountains. I can see why she’d love it. We probably need to be a bit south of the church, but we also have to find a place that is suitable and in our price range. Tough calls.
Since some of the homes are not occupied, the setting sun put an end to our looking around 6 pm. We needed to find a place to eat before I met some guys at a pub at 7:30. We tired a local restaurant chain, but discovered a long wait. The next plan was to head to the mall where the brew pub was to get a meal. We actually ended up at the Brew Pub (Thunder Canyon Brewery), enjoying a nice meal. I had a Ranch Hand Steak sandwich, which was very good.
After CavWife and the kids left, I had a few beers with the guys while we talked movies, theology, the Conan O’Brien mess and more. I partook of the Blackout Stout and then the Sandstone Cream Ale. They were pretty good. It was another good but long day. Tomorrow I preach, we enjoy a family feast and then a Q&A.
