Sorry for the 2 month gap in our story of when Uncle Kyle visited, folks! Life lately has been all about keeping our heads above water and trying hard not to forget the million things that need to happen each day. After a whirlwind weekend of non-stop activity, I find myself on this Monday evening with NOTHING TO DO and I can't handle the idleness! Time to blog! :)
When we hosted Kyle, we enjoyed a wonderful week with him. There was some downtime to play games (about 27 rounds of Quirkle, our new favorite); watch movies (check out Free Solo on Hulu if you haven't already-- wow!); and catch up on conversation. And there were some fun outings too. In March you read about our trip to Alcatraz. Here are a few other fun things that we did...
We hiked around Knight's Ferry! The wildflowers were in bloom, the polliwogs were hatching, the river was high and full of white rapids, and our puppy was excited to pull us around. It was a lovely afternoon.
We trekked out the Bay Area to use our Tech Museum membership again. We spent a day creating egg drop contraptions and getting shaken in the earthquake simulator.
For an early graduation present, Kyle planned a fabulous date night with Ella too. They went to a Michelin Star Chinese restaurant in Sacramento, then caught the Cirque Du Soleil Crystal show. This was a phenomenal treat for Ella and she totally loved sharing this special time with Uncle Kyle.
My house is packed with more family visitors this week! With dance recitals occupying this entire weekend, our next weekend full of celebration for our graduate (!!), and the week after that our big summer vacation, it will be good to get caught up on the blog so I can post about these exciting events hopefully sooner than 2 months after they occur!
