An all too short visit with our son/wife/ & 2 kiddos was unexpectedly extended by a whole day due to the continuing cancellation issues American Airlines is experiencing because of union problems. Though disruptive for all involved, the extra time with the 'kids' was such a treat.
Here's an appropriate present from my 7 year old grandson that he made at school....painted and woven strips of paper....ala patchwork quilt art!
The visit was jam packed with non-stop activities. Here's an example of two unique ones. I haven't been to a movie theater (honestly!!) in over 10 years and before that visit it was at least 10 years prior. BUT....I could get used to this type of movie going....comfy seats with mini tables, and a waiter who took our lunch order & quickly delivered it. We gobbled up everything while watching the movie. I enjoyed THE best movie popcorn I've ever had, served in a huge stainless steel bowl and a yummy mocha coffee milkshake. Now this is living!
The kids both got haircuts....what a unique way to get children to sit still during the process. Clever styling chairs....all with their own personal iPad type monitor to keep them still.
Another family event is right around the corner so I'll barely have time to unpack and repack before making more memories. My latest art quilt will be on hold till I return. Hope you are all enjoying your summer.

What a fun movie theater! And the woven art quilt- super nice. American Airlines flight problems?? Oh dear, I'm booked for one in August. Better look into this.
I have to admit that I'm not much of a movie goer either, but I did go to one last year with friends. I think if the theaters around here at those amenities I'd go more often. Have a fun trip.
