Well, only kind of. You see, we have a deck outside of our apartment and we absolutely love sitting out there to eat. In fact, more times than not, we have our meals outside. The view is amazing, the breeze is not too overpowering, the fellowship is just more "alive" when we can eat outside. YET....yet, at night, we become under attack once the suns sets. We have a light on the outside as well. Which brings in the June Bugs. The kids simply cannot understand why they would come, given that it is still May. However, come they do. And then come the screams. These dive bombing fools seem to have a death wish as the dive right towards us. Hearing girlish screams from ALL of the kids, seeing hands swirling around forcefully to get them out of our hair, and having to double and triple check our food before we eat.
This adventure has not slowed us down from eating outside: we make adjustments. We eat a little earlier. We have a fly swatter ready. We laugh it off when we can.
Isn't this true of life sometimes. We really want something, but there is one small annoyance. We need to make adjustments, plan and prepare, and laugh at ourselves.
How.bad.do.we.want.it?
Last week was Mother's Day and we celebrated the one and only Vicki. A truly wonderful mother who can seem to do so much in so little of time. So we went out to eat and with it being Sunday (which means insanity in terms of busyness) we went to the Pradera (fancy word for the mall food court).
Good times!!!!
Want to know what it is like to eat at Chimaltenango in the Pradera on Mother's Day? Music and all at this link...
