I’m
the type of person who enjoys the odd Sunday drive to wherever the road
takes me, however not generally at the same pace an old couple may
enjoy in their vintage vehicle.
Sunday’s beautiful weather inspired mom and I to take a gander into
the Midlands. Having the boys and their friend Greg with us, we decided
it best to visit a spot where everyone could enjoy themselves. The
Piggly Wiggly Country Village came to
mind as I’ve had the good fortune of popping in there once before with
friends.
It is a wonderful family venue with an array of quaint stores
surrounding a mini putt-putt course, a jungle gym and a good patch of
grass for youngsters to release a bit of energy. In two shakes of a
leg, the boys were off to play a round of miniature golf while Mom and I
settled ourselves down to a cup of coffee on the comfy couches of the
Piggly Wiggly Restaurant. The boys tracked us down a bit later as we
browsed through the shops, only to grab some cash for a pizza and a
juice, which they went off to enjoy on the opposite side of the Village.
We found them again sometime later thoroughly enjoying the art of wax
at the Candle Dipping Shop. Max, having chosen a fairly simple candle
to colour, was deep in conversation with Madeleine the shops owner. She
was patiently teaching him a very interesting wax technique using
water. Max was captivated by the experience and suggested that we should
definitely experiment further at home.
All too soon the fun filled day
had run away with us and it was time to go. It was a truly fabulous
experience to drive home to the background sounds of laughter and
excited chatter about the amazing time had by the three sweaty bodies in
the rear of the vehicle. I even got a “Thank-you mom”. See you again
soon Piggly Wiggly Country Village!
