Smiles

The girls stayed with me yesterday so that their mom could help their other grandmother move. We started out early and the plan was to ride the trolley, but as we stood at the bus stop and waited, we  noticed that the schedule said they wouldn't start running for almost  hour, so instead, we went for a walk, stopping at the candy store and the new "pink" store which is filled with cute earrings, purses, bracelets, scarves...all things girly. Once we'd seen it all, we continued along, checking out all the artwork from the "chalk walk" that took place over the weekend. At the Maritime Pier we saw the biggest starfish any of us had ever seen, thanks to a very low tide, then it was back to Kelley's for lunch. The building directly behind the girls is the Tides Tavern, one of my favorite places to eat, and the dock to the left of the Tides was the original Babich dock. It belonged to my husbands uncle, Spiro Babich, but now belongs to two separate owners. Once home, I helped Bergen build a denim skirt and about that time, Jacob showed up so it was kids, kids, kids til 5:00, then granny died :o)
Tonight's Concert at the Park  will  feature the Beatnik's ...they put on a great show and are the most popular, which means the street in front of the park will be closed and there will dancing in the street tonight :o)  I must say, summer in Gig Harbor is a hoot.
