Adventures

After the lice disaster, we got back to our normal routine.  Lulu has been super snuggly and fun.  As the school year is wrapping up, there are lots of end of year activities.  We had Multicultural Night this week at Irwin.  Each class was assigned a country and the kids have been working on educational visual displays for weeks.  They had food trucks outside for the event.  It was fun for the kids to show us their hard work.  Alex and Harper went backpacking this weekend in Virginia.  They carried their tent, sleeping bags and mats, food and chairs!  They camped where there are wild ponies.  They had an amazing time!  Ethan and I had a fun weekend shopping for Pokemon cards and eating out.

Lulu apparently doesn't support books about other cats. 
   
I had the afternoon off on Friday so Alex and I checked out Haraz Coffee House for Yemeni coffee and dessert.
   
     
We went to Halal Street Food for dinner.  It just opened in Camp North End.
     
The kids played with neighbors.

Harper loved the wild ponies!
    
    
Ethan and I went to a Pokemon store.  He was thrilled to find rare Pokemon.
   
    
We ate at Cheesecake Factory for dinner.  He tried to explain Pokemon to me.
    
      
Ethan and I worked on his robot project for school.
     
We went to breakfast at Camp North End.
   
Then we had a pastry snack, of course!
    
We had a fire pit and s'mores after dinner on Sunday.  Lulu joined us from the window.
