Karen was at a medical conference all weekend, so I got to spend the whole weekend with Sara. It would have been a little more enjoyable if she had not imparted a horrible cold that made my sinus feel like an elephant was stepping on my head.
Friday evening we got to spend some time at a Silent Auction to raise money for Sara’s daycare. It was a lot of fun. I was outbid multiple time on lots of wine, which were too expensive anyway. We did end up with tickets to the local movie theatre and used book store.
On Saturday, Sara enjoyed covering Daddy with all her stuffed animals. After I dug myself out of the avalanche of softness, I took Sara to the park and we looked at ducks, played on the swings and played in the sand. Then big waves started hitting the beach and Sara was quite scared of the sound and wanted to go home. After a nap we headed to the store and I promised I would by her a broom (so she could play with it, like her favorite movie character Kiki). We also got a helmet for use on her new tri-cycle.
That evening we cooked hotdogs on the grill, flew Sara around on her broom and had a nice dinner with Jon, Claire, and Tracy (who was also here for the conference). The evening ended with a walk to Sunset park with Tracy and playing soccer with the ball, after which everyone went to bed early.
