My Week In Review

Last week was full of fun. Here’s the recap…

Monday night we enjoyed the Passover Seder at my husband’s Aunt & Uncle’s house. There were 7 kids there, but it sounded more like 30! I spilled my wine all over my plate (I love me some Passover wine, but I had only had one glass), but managed to avoid my clothes and the floor.

Tuesday we braved torrential downpours to tour the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. I would have chosen a more pleasant day to visit, but it was a group trip and we would have lost our money if we didn’t go. We tried to go up on the flight deck, but it was so cold, wet and windy, we couldn’t take more than a few minutes. There’s a lot to see there, though, and we had a great day in spite of the weather.

Thursday I took my daughter to get spring/summer clothes at Justice. It was our first time there and she wanted everything! Especially the really fancy dresses. She always wants to buy really fancy dresses, but she has no where to wear them, so I can’t justify the expense. We found some cute skirts and sundresses that seemed to make her just as happy.

Friday we toured Lost River Caverns in eastern PA. It’s a neat, small, campy cave that contains a river that seems to have no source nor outlet. Hence the “lost river.” Their best deduction is that the water seeps down through the ground, since even in the heaviest rains there is never any ground debris – the water is always crystal clear.  After the tour we played in the picnic area where there was a small covered bridge and stream. Logan and his friends tried to build a dam, while Cassie dug in the mud and made “fudge balls.” Kids + streams = intense happiness.
