An outing and an inning

Faith was invited to go swimming today with Alyssa's family.  They have a membership to the town rec center in the suburb they live in, and it apparently has an indoor pool with waterslides and a lazy river and all sorts of stuff.  Afterwards, she went with them to Cici's for pizza.  Easily one of her best days of the summer.

I sent Eric up the street to my parents' house before Alyssa's family came to pick Faith up.  (Whenever she has a friend over, he always thinks they're there to play with him, too, so he would have wanted to have been included.)  I had more than 3 hours to myself, which almost never happens.  It was very quiet in the house.
