April 10th weekend

What a great start to a great weekend!

On Friday night Tim and I went on a "date".  Dinner, then a Mandolin concert.  We had dinner at Syun and I never realized just how busy they get on a Friday night.  Even people with reservations had to wait 15-20 minutes to be seated.  Waitresses were flying around making customers happy.

There were so many dishes served and so many choices on the menu that we got a bit overwhelmed.  Everything we ordered was very good, especially the dessert.  Banana tempura.

Concert was great too.  This was an opening night and not only all the tickets were sold out, but there were about 30 more people hoping to get a seat.  They ended up letting extra attendees sit in the front foyer, with the concert hall doors' open.  Next performance is in June, better get tickets now if you want to go attend...

Saturday was a totally crazy day.  First, we had to get Jon and Larissa to their swimming classes, then drop Jon off at a birthday party, then head out to Gabe's lacrosse game, then pick Jon back up, etc.  If only it wasn't so darn cold at the game!..  Gabe's team lost again, but this time by a lesser score difference.  I think it was 2:5 (or may be 2:6, not sure)

On the way home we stopped by Peete's Tea & Coffee House and everyone got a well deserved treat.
By the time we were home, all we wanted to do was relax.

Sunday started off slow.  I got up early and managed to do a long run.  This week I was up to 8.5 miles.  Not all running, but as a run/walk mix.  Never the less, I was feeling very accomplished for the rest of my day.
We also finally got around getting Tim's truck's maintenance up to date and Larissa's bike fixed.

The sun stayed out almost all day long and kids enjoyed playing outside all afternoon.

We went through a variety of sports/outdoor equipment.  Skating, dart guns, bikes, and finished with the bubble blowing.
