A Day in the City

Ever since Mia and Alexa saw a show during our vacation in Dominican Republic they were asking us to take them to see another one.  So when I told them that we were going to see Madagascar Live! they were thrilled.  For days they were asking me if today was the day… And for days I was able to use that as a kind of a ‘threat’ to get them to do stuff  – “If you don’t put your PJs on, we won’t go to to show”, “Want to see a show?  Then pick up your toys”… great parenting, I know:)

My sister and her family decided to join us and since we all love hanging out together so it was a super fun day all around!   The place we ended up for lunch was perfect – we were seated upstairs (maybe they did not like the look of us and wanted to keep us away from their customers!) and had the whole place to ourselves.  Mia, Alexa and their cousin Abby sat in their own booth and were very happy to be independent:

they loved looking at themselves in the mirror  and thought it was the funnies thing:)

True to its name, burgers at the ‘Burger Heaven‘ were heavenly:

We stopped by at the Le Pain Quotidien next door to get some desert before heading to the show:

It was pouring out… rainy weather, although not the best for walking around town, makes for interesting images.  And Mia and Alexa loved wearing their new rainboots and using their umbrellas:

It was another great, although very wet, weekend!
