On Thursday Intel provided us with four free tickets to the very first Timbers home game. Tim was very excited to go and agreed to take three kids with him, but then it didn't look so appealing the night of the game. It poured down pretty much all day and only got worse when they got to the game. Their section was not under any covers either. All the seats were wet, so no one would sit down. Everyone stood up the entire game.
Tim made a wise decision and left shortly before the end of the game. With 19,000 fans there, many drinking, and most heading to the MAX station after the game, he would've regretted staying any longer.
BTW, Timbers won!
On Friday Larissa had a science fair at school. Her project didn't win any major recognition, but that doesn't matter. The only issue I had was that some kids clearly had their parents make the presentation for them! Larissa was given the project to work on and the materials to use, whereas some kids had projects off the list and some elabarate supplies. Oh, well, I wonder who will actually learn from the experiments... Kids or their parents (who did it for them)?
On Saturday, another run, lacrosse game, kids playing outside...
Gabe had a birthday to go to, Tim committed to trying another recipe for making Russian Borscht, the rest just enjoyed the evening and caught up on some TV shows.
Oh, yeah, soup was great. Even Gabe who eats practically nothing, complimented the chef.
On Sunday we all headed to the Hillsboro Mail library to get some books and to feed the ducks.
