Happy May Day!!

The gorgeous red flower trees that are blooming.

I can't believe it is May! Where did the last 4 months of 2008 go? It has been BEAUTIFUL the last week or so. Perfect weather, between 72 and 75 degrees, not like the 105 degrees we had the week before. Even a nice breeze when it go a little warm in the sun. We really couldn't ask for better! The girls have had a week long holiday, so they've just been knocking around town. Spencer had 2 days off this week. On Monday, April 28th he took the kids to City Stars and saw Horton Hears A Who. He said they were enthralled! Today, we went to Carrefour and ate at the new Chili's there. Great atmosphere! And then took the kids to the Magic Galaxy there. It's an arcade place with rides for kids and other games and a huge indoor soft playhouse. Like McDonald's on steroids. There are hanging punching bags and a rotating tunnel. You get 30 minutes of playtime for 8 L.E. (about $1.50) per kid. Then we played Skee-Ball, Whack-a-Shark, Moving Basketball Hoop, etc. And you can win tickets with each game. We totalled 81 tickets and redeemed about half and each kid got a Spiderman mask. None was more thrilled than Grant. He is a big Spiderman fiend. I made him a t-shirt with a you-know-who symbol on it just so he would quit drawing spiders on his chest with markers. Jacqui loved the mask and promptly ran into the wall. Think Boo from Monster's Inc.! ;) Anyway, that was our wonderful May Day!!
