Conestee Afternoon
Sunday Selling
It's that time of year again -- popcorn sales. I don't really like it; the Boy doesn't enjoy it; K puts up with it to help. But today, we took a two-hour shift with a friend at the booth in front of a local Cabella's outdoor shop.
We shocked ourselves with what we sold: over $850 in sales and donations.
It was really a learning experience for the Boy: like me, he doesn't like talking to strangers all that much, so to come out of that a bit and approach shoppers with the proposition of spending more money -- I was proud of how well he did.
In the evening, we went to our favorite park for a walk.
And the Girl? She had a sleepover at a friend's last night, came home in time for a late lunch, then headed to work.

We decided today to visit Greenville's newest park: Unity Park. According to the website,
Greenville’s newest park features four state-of-the-art playgrounds, including a 4,100-square-foot splash pad, two expansive green spaces, covered picnic tables and a 10,000-square-foot welcome center with restrooms, a first-aid station and flexible event space. The 60-acre park also features basketball courts and a historic baseball field located on the site of the former Mayberry Park, which was built in 1925.

E and I rode our bikes by it on our last trip on the Swamp Rabbit trail, but it was still under construction at that point.
After exploring the new park for a while, we walked downtown to the tried and true Reedy River Park.
An overall lovely day.

It's been a while since we went out for a walk in our favorite local part. Months, even. L is sick at home -- an awful sinus infection -- but we made the most of it as three.
