Hey kids,
I'm so sorry you didn't catch any fish at the derby this year, Jake. It was cold and raining and frustrating to watch the hundreds of fish swim by, ignoring your line. For the hour and a half that we stood there waiting for a bite, seems like only maybe one in five kids caught a fish. Very different from last year, when you caught your limit within the first five minutes. But please take comfort in the fact that you were the coolest-lookin' kid out there on the creek this weekend.
To ease the sting a bit, after we reeled your line in for the last time, we went and had lunch, then caught a matinee of Up, which made me cry but amused you no end. This was your second moviegoing experience, and you sat through the entire show without one peep or fidget. Awesome! Now if only I can get you to enjoy rom-coms and killer robot movies, I will never want for a movie date ever again!
Next up this weekend was the Ren Faire with Wavy.
There was all sorts of stuff there for you to be leery of. Don't worry, I'm not a big fan of horses, either. I accidentally touched the damn thing, and rubbed my eyes before I got a chance to wash my hands, and wound up with red and puffy eyes for the rest of the day.
Here's you perusing Ye Olde Food Court. I thankfully passed up the tempting array of ye olde deep-fried everything on a stick, and you chose a watermelon slushie and a fresh-squeezed lemonade. It's good to stay hydrated.
Finally, you fell asleep while we sat and listened to some questionably medieval music. We ended the day with a sunset dinner at Zephyr Cove with friends F and C.
A fun weekend for us all before you head to Cali Grandma's house for a couple weeks, starting this Wednesday. Love you!
