Back in Bloomington

I was so incredibly thankful that we flew home last night.  It not only saved us another hotel stay, but allowed Doug and Brett to work today and Cameron and I to enjoy a relaxing day in Bloomington.  I used the free day to catch up on some much needed rest and Cameron used his to beat a few new levels on Mario Super Strikers.  He and I were happy that Meg had time to spend with us today as well in between her lunch and dinner shifts at Bell Trace.  After Meg's first shift the three of us had lunch at McAllister's Deli.  Cameron had never been there before and we all enjoyed our meals.  We stopped back at Brett's to drop food off to Doug which he appreciated very much and then headed to Hobby Lobby.  We looked for a fun craft to work on this evening, but didn't find anything exciting.  

Meg had to be back to Bell Trace at 4 p.m.  While she was there, Doug and I ran to Kroger to pick up food for tomorrow's tailgate.  We couldn't believe the lines at the grocery store, but made it through relatively quickly.  Once we returned to Brett's apartment, Cameron, Doug and I played several rounds of Sequence.  Cameron destroyed us as always, but it was fun trying to beat him.  Meg got off work at 7:45 and we headed to Kirkwood for dinner.  We tried Crazy Horse first, but it was a 45 minute wait.  No one wanted to wait that long, so we tried Mother Bears next, no luck there either.  I suggested Bucceto's and we headed out toward the mall.  Thankfully, they had plenty of room and we all enjoyed our calzones and pasta dinners.  Meg next had suggested that we order cookies from Crumbl, a favorite of her friends.  We picked up four different ones to try.

Brett had wanted us to meet Norman, so we stopped by his apartment before heading to Meg's.  Norman was enjoying all of the toys that Grandma Jane had sent down for him.  Sean and Brett were watching "An American Werewolf in London" and catching up on their week.  We returned to Meg's for football and dessert.  The cookies were delicious and Doug alsoappreciated the piece of carrot cake that Meg brought him from Bell Trace.  Today may have been a quiet one for all of us, but a fun one just the same.
