We were supposed to be meeting up at the Jepson museum, for Free Family Day and spending time with Frank Stewart's Nexus photography exhibit.
Nope!
The day was gorgeous, nice and warm with a little breeze, and a bit of an overcast to block the sun's heat, if not its UV rays.
That meant EVERYONE had the same idea, and those who had found parking were now walking out in front of cars trying to find parking, as well as bicyclists darting in and around.
I called my first niece, suggesting we head for Forsyth Park instead, go ahead and take in the SCAD Annual Sidewalk Chalk Festival.
So, that's what we did, hoping the South of Gaston Street area would be better than the NOGS had been.
Nope!

Sound familiar?
I called my first niece again, after hunting in vain for a place to put my car, asking if she'd found a spot yet.
Nope!
Off to Daffin Park we headed, to the swing sets and slides and such, sure that we'd be able to swing right on in and park.
Nope!
A Family Fun Day was in progress, with food trucks and police cars taking up all the spaces inside the park, leaving us the offside lot for Grayson Stadium.
Fine, that would be fine.
That's Chloe and Miyah right there, having fun and getting their ya-yas out, just as the Rolling Stones would have advised!
Very nice!
We went to the Park's play area first, but the two little blondes said it was "for babies".
LOL!
They had espied the playground near the park office and wanted to go there, so there we went, and there we stayed for at least thirty minutes, with Christina showing off her "Ohana" tattoo bracelet and the girls chasing each other around.
Very nice!
Suddenly it was heading toward 5 PM and was way past lunch time.
Off to Carey Hilliard's on Skidaway for slunch and bathrooms!
Ah, much better, and we had a nice leisurely meal, sand electronic toys and gadgets, with our new waitress trying to keep up.
How new was she?
She didn't even know where the silverware was!
Hahahaha!
I know, that sounds like a joke, but it's absolutely true!
They went off to buy a gift for a birthday party they had after their time with Aunt Tina... but it wasn't long before they pulled up at my house!
Bathroom break, and a run around the spiral at the base of the Japanese magnolia, and playing with a slug and a roly-poly, too!
Chloe found the critters, of course.
That girl has eagle eyes for anything on the ground, moving or not!
I wonder if we would be so enchanted with roly-polies if we used their real name?
Like, ew, a woodlouse...
Hahahaha!
