Day 1: Friday morning, before the kids left for school, I told them that we would be having a special Shabbat party that night (just for the 5 of us). We had been working REALLY hard, all of us, we deserved the special treatment, right? I cooked a special Shabbat dinner (spent most of the day in the kitchen), challah, salad, roasted root vegetables, chicken with lemon and thyme, green beans and a cake for dessert. As soon as we sat down to eat, I realized that I was exhausted, I was pure and simply worn out from the week. By 9:00 pm I was asleep, the rest of the family was not far behind. Saturday was restful, again, we needed it!
Day 2: By Sunday morning, we were all rested ready to go! I had a wonderful Mom's morning out while the girls hung out with Ron, then in the afternoon I took the girls to see The Princess and The Frog. We all loved it, especially Ayelet who loves princesses and loves frogs.
Day 3: Monday promised to be a busy day. We went on an urban geocache with friends, ended up making it a double, found the first, but not the second. It was a beautiful morning on the Seattle waterfront, with great company! Here are some shots of the find!
And, as we were down town, we were treated to some other neat sights - check out the airplane making its way to Boeing on the tracks.
Day 4: Tuesday was a work day for me, each of the girls had their own adventures, then in the evening, the girls and I went out to dinner. After Ayelet ate her dinner, they brought out her dessert, a giant ice cream, she could hardly believe it. She almost didn't know what to do with it...
...then she spotted the spoon.
What's on tap for the rest of the week? Stay tuned...
