Arrgh Matey!

The boys did not have swimming lessons today because it was overcast and looked like rain. So we enjoyed our morning relaxing. We also went to 2 yard sales on base but no amazing discoveries. For our Pancake morning today we all tried something new. We had whole wheat pancakes with turkey bacon. We liked it a lot and plan to have it again.

This afternoon we attended Gilbert & Sullivan's the Pirates of Penzance. It is an Opera and this afternoon they had a Children's Matinee and the tickets were a lot cheaper. The boys did really good and it held their interest most of the time. Darrick and I really liked it, it was funny. They gave everyone a pirate eye patch when you came in the doors so the boys liked that. It lasted about 2 hours with a 15 minute intermission. It was in Downtown Honolulu. One thing that we really enjoyed it that they had a screen on the top of the stage that displayed all the lyrics to the songs which helped us follow the story line. Micah asked us if we could go again tomorrow so I think his first experience at the opera was a success!

After the opera we went straight to Walter and Tiffany's house for their daughter, Jillian's 2nd birthday party. We had pizza and cake and the boys jumped in the bounce house. It was a fun day but we are all pretty tired! Good thing tomorrow is another day to rest!
