Last evening, Leah, Ava, and I walked downtown to have pizza. It was a gorgeous stroll.
The restaurant was pretty crowded when we arrived, but we were able to get a table after only a short wait. Ava loved standing out on the sidewalk and watching all the foot traffic go by.
After dinner, we stopped at an ice cream store to get Ava a tiny strawberry cone, which she worked on during the walk home. It was unseasonably warm yesterday, and by the time we got back to the house, it was still almost 70 degrees outside. We were all a bit beat. Ava had a quick bath, read a couple books, and hit the hay, where she fell asleep almost immediately.
It’s much more fall-like today, with brooding gray clouds blowing across the sky and dry leaves flying everywhere. The temperature has dropped at least 10 degrees since I left the house this morning. We’re heading to Madison on Friday, and the forecast for the weekend there actually looks really nice.
