<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, I finally updated <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RCrosbyCreations">my etsy store</a> with items for the new 2014 Mutual and Primary Themes! Woo Hoo! I also added some new table runners and a few other digital images/prints outs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of the images regarding the 2014 themes are available for instant download in the following sizes: 4"x6", 5"x7", 8"x10", 11"x14", or 20"x30"/24"x36".</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>A little thing I have learned recently, Costco has 20"x30" printing available for $9! </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Considering a 24"x36" is typically $30 each at all other photo stores, </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>that is a pretty awesome deal!</i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope you <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/RCrosbyCreations">go take a look</a>, and that you find something you like!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Please share your finds with any and all of your friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>P.S. If you don't find exactly what you would like, I am more than happy to work with you on creating a custom design/order to fulfill your needs. Just message me!</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm making this post to solve a problem with sharing <a href="https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4Ucf7JqAzKjdm9FUC1CaGJubkE&usp=sharing">my Google Drive documents</a>. I posted a sharing link on <a href="http://perglersprimaryplace.blogspot.com/2011/02/apostasy-and-restoration-st.html?showComment=1365783253986#c4383811345080782514"><u>Pergler's Primary Place</u></a> for printables to use along with the "Apostasy and Restoration Sharing Time". Unless I am signed in to Google, all that ever pops up is "Error 500". So, if you are interested in the printables I created, hopefully this will help me share them.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">All you n<span style="font-size: small;">eed to do is:</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">1) <span style="font-size: small;">Right click the image you would like to <span style="font-size: small;">have.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">2) <span style="font-size: small;">Select "Save Image A<span style="font-size: small;">s"</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">3) Then you may save the image where and as whatever you choose. I would suggest puttin<span style="font-size: small;">g the images in your "Pictures Library"<span style="font-size: small;">. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">4) You may then print them from your comput<span style="font-size: small;">er or upl<span style="font-size: small;">oad<span style="font-size: small;"> them to your favorite <span style="font-size: small;">photo service for <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">printing</span>. I used Walgreens, along with a coupon code "THE ORDER" for 25% off my purchase. They printed beautifully<span style="font-size: small;"> as 4"x6" <span style="font-size: small;">photos.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saturday was not just our last day in France, is was our final day abroad all together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We headed up for breakfast with Philippe before our last day of wandering.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the last couple mornings Philippe had taken to putting a half a pomegranate on the top of our sliced fruit. It was too sour for me, but Jake always finished his off. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our rooms are on the first floor of the building. In the US that would mean the second floor. France's floors go 0,1,2,3, and so on. Every morning we got to have breakfast with Philippe in his home on the 6th floor. The first day we hiked it up the stairs. Then we realized there was a shoebox sized elevator and always used it to go up. We're slackers.</span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Philippe doesn't like having his picture taken, but his wife Nathalie is standing behind my Mom. She was very talkative like Philippe, but understood English a little better. She would occasionally explain things to him in French. </span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We loved our stay with Phillipe. As long as it is a cool season, we would always stay with him. (His bed and breakfast doesn't have air conditioning.) If you ever find yourself headed to France, his contact info is in the photo below. </span> </div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For our final day, we decided to stick around town and walk around to some of the places we had missed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First off, we wanted to visit a couple of the shops around our B&B. Dad was still not feeling very well, so he stayed behind to have a little nap while we shopped a little.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The roses were stunning at this florist shop. They even had mounds of petals surrounding the displays.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ended up only being able to stomach getting one package, the smallest, of something I got to sample. (The middle shelf, all the way to the right.) Now, until this experience, I have always wondered why in the world people dip orange flavored things in chocolate. Gross! What a waste I always think. However, this is why. Patrick Roger's chocolate is completely uncontaminated, pure, rich, chocolate utopia. Most of the time when I have chocolate (even Godiva) there is a slightly waxy taste, maybe even some bitterness to it. There is nothing but delicious cocoa in his creations. Plus, the item I ended up purchasing had orange zest in it. So, it was a delicious orange filling enveloped by the richest, warmest tasting dark chocolate without the least bit of bitterness you have ever savored. If I ever end up back in France, I will not balk at the price, and I will purchase all I want!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also, see the shelving on the back wall? It was filled with bars of chocolate, organized by the country the chocolate originated from.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">FYI: Before entering a metro platform, you will see a sign similar to this. This one lets us know we are getting on the 12 Line, headed in the direction of Aubervilliers, which is the last stop on the line in this direction before it turns around. It also gives you a list of all the stops in order from that platform until the final stop Aubervilliers. (I don't know why is says Front Populaire is the final stop. They possibly added it recently and kept the name of the line the same.)</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At this point, we were exhausted and needed to pack for the airport. We decided to have a picnic in our rooms. Jake headed back first to get off his knee, while the rest of us went out to scavenge for food. It was before 7 so there would be no restaurants open yet. Luckily, we ran into Nathalie (our hostess) and she pointed us in the direction of their favorite patisserie and boulangerie.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There was this place called, Mum Dim Sum, a few doors down from our B&B. I've always wanted to go to a dim sum place, preferably an authentic one in Chinatown or Asia, but this what we had to work with people. So, we went and got a variety of chicken, pork, and beef dumplings. They were okay, except for the Beef one. Jake and Dad said it was awful. </span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On our way back to the restaurant we passed a few butchers. They really don't have many grocery stores that encompass all food groups.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They let him sample a few. He decided on a goat cheese that had been aged 8 months. He liked it. I'm not big on cheese. Now, the warm baguette we got to go with it the next day... that is definitely in my wheel house.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wonder if people were perturbed with him. It was a very busy hour in the store, and the only standing room in the store is for the line that goes in a circle (around the table in the picture below) in front of the glass cases. The line was long, but the clerk was very helpful with him once he said he didn't know what he was looking for. However, once you do make your choice, you continue to the end of the line, past the wine section, to pay the cashier. I also wonder if they keep a sommelier on the premises to help with pairings.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The main structure of the Louvre used to be a Palace. Many/Most of France's royal palaces have been turned into museums of different kinds. In 1984 the President of France commissioned the construction of multiple glass pyramids. They were meant to help alleviate problems caused by the immense number of visitors trying to enter the Louvre each and every day. The construction of the pyramid triggered much controversy
because many people felt that the pyramid looked too futuristic in juxtaposition with the classical structure of the Louvre Museum. The debate has yet to be settled to this day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, as I have previously stated, the Musee d'Orsay is my favorite museum. However, the Louvre... is THE Louvre. It was the first of its kind in the world. Not to mention, the entire experience is a spectacle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For instance, the Louvre has over 12 miles of wall space for art. I got lost each and every time I went there (this trip was no exception). And even though there is all that glorious art to see, there are placards designating which route to take to see particularly famous and legendary pieces. Such as, The Mona Lisa. That was our first stop, so we followed the signage. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Basically, the Catholic Church was the largest employer of artists back at this day in time. They were one of the few with money to spare and stories/images that needed illustration.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, most of the art in this wing has to do with Christianity. It's a good rule of thumb that if you see a woman holding a baby, it's the Virgin Mary holding Christ.</span></div>

We were headed to who-knows-where when we stumbled past the Metro entrance with the map. Luckily, it had the local streets listed alphabetically and we were able to easily find it. We had been circling the street just in front of it, literally.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a roundabout.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Wednesday morning, our time in London had come to an end. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But before we could start our French adventure we had to get there. There was a comment made on the news this morning that traffic in and out of St. Pancras was delayed. We had chosen to take a train from England to France from St. Pancras so this made us a little nervous. Our stress-free travel experiences continued! Not.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we got to the train station the
weather had caught up with us again. It had been snowing in Northern
France for the past few days and lots of trains had been cancelled or
delayed, resulting in a very, very long line at the ticket booth. We already had our seats reserved, we just didn't have physical tickets and we didn't know exactly where we were supposed to go to get them. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, Dad went off to try and find out where to print out our tickets while Mom, Jake, and I stood in an extremely long line that would most certainly cause us to miss our train that was due to leave in less than 30 minutes.</span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Luckily, Dad came back with tickets in hand and we hurriedly made our way through a very lax Customs and onto the train platform.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even though our train said it had a "luggage compartment", from here on out I would travel as lightly as possible when planning on traveling by train. A "luggage compartment" is apparently the size of a walk-in-closet and supposed to fit the luggage of 50+ people. I was a little worried for awhile, but it worked out okay. We had our luggage all stowed away before the train departed.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mom brought snacks! Which was good, because the bad snow limited our speed on the rails and added and extra 90 minutes to our travel time. We also made a trip to the club car for some food. It was surprisingly good for microwave food.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dad and I got to stand in line for a good while once we found the Metro ticket desk in Gare du Nord. (New York is to Subway, as London is to the Tube/Underground, as Paris is to the Metro.) They only had one person working the desk, which was kind of ridiculous, and she didn't speak English. Sheesh. I was glad I already knew what we needed. People were having a hard time trying to have discussions with her about what their options were. We bought a couple books of tickets (carnets) to cover our Metro usage for the first couple days. Then we headed</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">to the 3 Line to find our Bed and Breakfast.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't find the pictures of the front of Philippe's place, Courcelles-Parc, at the moment. However, we don't have enough good things to say about our visit here. Mainly because the mattresses were divine and the location great. Not to mention, Phillipe's winning personality and eagerness to make sure our stay was pleasurable. (FYI: I have been attempting to hunt down the mattresses we slept on there so we can have one of our own in our home. Alas, I cannot find one cheaper than $3200. They were a type of plush bamboo, and divine.)</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first chocolatier window we saw! It was fun to be there just before Easter. The candy shops all had chocolate chickens, ducks, bunnys, owls, etc. The way Philippe explained it, "A chicken comes and poo poos eggs all over the park" at Easter in France. No one has their own yard, so they go egg hunting at their local park. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we reached the Champs-Elysees, traffic was crazy insane. Think Dale Mabry x 5. All of the sudden I hear car horns honking and I look to see 2 kids running (j-walking) across this 8 lane highway. No regard for their safety beside the girl holding her hand out as if she is The Thing from The Fantastic Four and can halt any oncoming car. They ran straight across the street, no stopping, and down into a Metro entrance. Welcome to Paris!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While shopping in Oxford Circus in London there had been a window display in a youthful store geared toward female teens that had the word "SEX" as part of the display. My Mom and I were shocked. We were pleasantly surprised to see this Store's slogan. I noticed it all over Paris after this: Happy is the New Chic. Love it! Live it!</span> </div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of the food in this photo was one Value Meal. Things work a little differently in McDonald's abroad. This Value Meal came with an extra set of chicken nuggets. Therefore, you can feed 2 people with every 1 Value Meal. I didn't notice taps in this McDonalds, but the last time I was in Paris you could also get draft beer at McDonalds; and wedge fries if you preferred them over the McDonalds ones. Only weirdos would want wedge fries over McDonalds fries.</span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other very unique thing about this McDonalds is that it had a separate McCafe selling their McCafe items, as well as, macaroons... and other pastries. Weird, no? Also, that bank of machines you see on the opposite wall, they are like self checkout machines, except they are for ordering. You can do "express ordering" and then pick it up in a separate line. Conveinient. </span></div>

But he got the gist of my question about the gates and said, "Forbidden!" What?! After a confusing minute or two where everyone of my questions was met with "FORBIDDEN!"

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My feet were dying at this point. I didn't wear my boots again the rest of the trip because I couldn't bear to do that to my feet again. Luckily, we were headed for our dinner reservation. Philippe had recommended a restaurant near our B&B that he loves. He said he would eat their every day if his pocketbook and metabolism would allow it. None of us could felt like walking anymore, so we hit the Metro.</span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the main course, Mom, Jake, and I ordered what Philippe had suggested. He said they made the best duck in France and I have to say I agree with him! I'm not much of a dark meat person, therefore anytime I have had duck I haven't really liked it. However, the duck at L'Improviste is a delicious shredded duck with a rich gravy folded into a casserole of delicious mashed potatoes. It was so good. It warmed you to the core. A real rib sticking meal, if you will. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">FYI: If you are ever in London and in need of some groceries, choose a TESCO. Jacob's Aunt Pam and Uncle Jim recommended them when we said we were staying in a flat. Luckily, there was one on the corner across from where we were staying. We frequented it almost every night for snacks and breakfast items. The store was always clean and everything was always yummy!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On to more important business; Tuesday was our last full day in London. As we walked across the park on our way to the tube, I noticed these local workers smoking near the dumpster. I thought that it was weird, but then I noticed they were standing within a square (painted red) designated "smoking area". Nice. I didn't take a picture until I was sure they wouldn't notice me. It just think I would stop smoking if I was only allowed to do it in designated areas near dumpsters.</span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before heading out for the day, we decided to peak in at the Underground Mall attached to our local tube station(s). Jake wanted to get an English Tie.</span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Mall was so huge! Different areas had different names for crying out loud. The different areas were designated by the 4 different transit stations that were attached. They had physical maps available for the taking at each entry. We would have never found anything in particular without them.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While Jake and Dad went to look at stuff for men, Mom and I got lost in this amazing store. It had clothing and accessories for girls/women of every age, and everything was adorable and/or beautiful. It was called Monsoon and yes, <a href="http://us.monsoon.co.uk/?_$ja=kw:Monsoon+Store|cgn:Monsoon+Store|cgid:3969288848|tsid:41210|cn:Monsoon+-+US+-+BG+-+Exa+-+Eng+-+DT+-+SE|cid:108626768|lid:37175349715|mt:Exact|nw:search|crid:22897010288&gclid=CIeA-cKyjLYCFQ8GnQodkwgAsA">they have a website</a>!</span> </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After we spent too much money there, and Jake had purchased his tie, we spotted a busy patisserie, Paul's. (We ended up seeing many different Paul's Bouglangerie and Patisseries all over Paris.)</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't quite remember what Dad and Jake ate, I think apple pastries. Mom had an apricot pastry, which she ended up scraping the apricots off of because she said they were too sour. I had a delicious strawberry tart. We all ordered the hot chocolate too. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was called "Paul's Special Hot Chocolate" and it was delicious. The thickest hot chocolate I had ever had. Notice the cup? Have you ever seen hot chocolate do that to a mug before?! It was as if it was pure melted chocolate. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On a side note, London is very clean. Much cleaner than Paris. It was quite the startling contrast visiting them back to back. Cleanliness just isn't up there with enjoying life and all it has to offer. So, I just wanted to share with you how clean this bathroom was in the Tower. It was cleaner than Disney. They had even won an award for it. No joke. You are looking at the Loo of the Year from 2009.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See that guy in the poncho and hat? That was our tour guide, Bob. He was wonderful and hilarious. He is a Beefeater. The nickname came from the King allowing his personal guard to eat whatever he left behind at his table. Beef was too expensive for common folk back then, so they were the only ones who got to eat it regularly when it was left behind by the King.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, the townsfolk started to dislike them and their haughtiness and began to chase them around calling out, "Beef eater!" So, that is how they got their nickname, Beefeater.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To start, I had red lentil soup, because I was basically a walking ice cube after having taken pictures of Parliament from the bridge for over 15 minutes. Jake had the most delicious calamari ever! Mom and Dad went to eat there for dinner on our recommendation but didn't like it as much as we did. Mom said the calamari wasn't crispy enough to hide the fact that she was eating squid. I tried the olives. I normally hate olives, but I thought since I was eating at a Mediterranean place and they brought olives with the bread... bleh. I have officially confirmed I am not an olive person. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Monday, we went to see the changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. We stopped off at Green Park the previous night to see the Palace lit up, but a sign informed us at the tube station that it was a 7 minute walk. Seven minutes is a really long time when your breath keeps getting knocked out of you by the frigid wind. We decided to just stick to seeing it in the day time. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The only reason I would ever go back to Harrod's, is if someone I was with had never been. It is kind of oozing with pretension. If you're not ready to drop some major cash, the sales clerks kind of look at you as if they can't really see you. However, there is a "Harrod's Store" where you can buy reasonably priced items with "Harrod's" all over them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mom liked seeing the memorial they had set up for Diana and Dodi. The pyramid in the center holds a smudged wine glass from Diana's last dinner, and a (presumed engagement) ring Dodi purchased the day before he died. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, Jake had been the one to want to go to the British Museum. He thought the British Museum and the British History Museum were synonymous with each other.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would have thought the same thing if I had given any thought to it. However, make no mistake, the British Museum actually has nothing to do with British history. So, I told him to pick at least one exhibit he would like to see, so it wouldn't be a complete waste. He chose the Egyptian exhibit.</span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After we finished with the Egyptian exhibit, we made our way back across Russell Square to the Underground which took us to Oxford Circus.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During our double decker bus tour, our tour guide said that Oxford Circus is a Shopaholic's heaven or hell... and she was right! Any and every store worth shopping was there. There were even multiples of some; namely Gap and H&M.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There were thousands of people hitting the streets and stores. We visited 2 of the most unique to the area.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For the past few months, Jacob and I (as well as my Mom and Dad) have been anticipating a trip (gifted to us by my parents) to Europe. Jake has never been abroad and I haven't been in 10 years, so we were excited by the opportunity. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On the afternoon of March 8th, we made our way to Tampa International to take a flight to JFK. There had been a bad snow storm the previous day in New England, which resulted in our flight being delayed an hour into JFK. Basically, every flight in or out of JFK in the past 36 hours had been cancelled or delayed. When the delay hour was up, our flight was delayed a second time due to "a mechanical issue". It added an extra 30-45 minutes to our wait, and made us miss our connecting flight by 5 minutes. We are fairly positive we saw it pass on the tarmac while we were taxiing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Due to the insane amount of delays and cancellations made in the past 36 hours at JFK, every flight out of JFK to any country in Europe, was completely booked for the rest of the evening. So, after an excruciating 90 minutes at the Delta Help Desk, we ended-up with a tickets on a flight the next morning, a voucher for the Queens New York Double Tree Inn, a voucher for a taxi to the Inn, and eight $6 vouchers for dinner and breakfast.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We promptly left the desk and went to baggage claim, where we were told our luggage would be sent up to us. Might I say, the most competent and efficient people we met during this entire process are the people who run the luggage in the basement labryinth of JFK. During the 5 minutes it took from us to go from the Delta Help Desk to the Delta Baggage Claim, they had already tagged and sorted our luggage for our British Airways flight the following morning. It would take 1-3 hours for it to be retrieved because it was no longer in Delta's possession. Awesome. We were tired and just wanted some food and sleep as soon as possible. All they could offer us in exchange was a free travel kit which included: a Delta Sky Team t-shirt, a toothbrush meant for a gnome with matching tube of toothpaste, a comb/plastic brush, and a travel sized Dove deodorant. (Some of us had packed a few necessities in our carry on for the overnight flight, so we didn't fare too badly.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Just as we left the Delta Baggage Claim, we ran into Tim Gunn. I was able to get my pic with him. Yay! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After my photo opp, with a travel kit supplied by Delta in hand, we ventured to the Queens Double Tree Inn. The best description I can give you for the Queens Double Tree Inn is that of Purgatory. Seriously, I think everyone staying there were misfits who had been left behind by airlines. It made me think of that scene in 'Hercules' where Hades shows Hercules the River of Souls. That River is the Double Tree Inn in Queens, New York. I'm not exaggerating. You walk in and everyone is looking a little too, "lights on, nobody home."</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We ate dinner in the hotel restaurant. It was edible. The tip was automatically incorporated into the final bill so the service was lame. The most positive thing I can say about the Double Tree is that they have the most delicious cookies! When you check in they give you each a warm oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. It was outstanding. I was tempted to ask for a second for breakfast. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next morning, we had to be aggressive to fit onto the free hotel shuttle to the airport. There were so many people waiting to get on that shuttle at 6am! Everyone was ready to get out of Purgatory and onto their final destination. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had breakfast at the JFK McDonalds and then boarded our 7 hour British Airways flight to London Heathrow Airport. All of the people we came into contact with for British Airways were above and beyond nice in comparison with Delta.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once we landed in London, we hopped on the tube after retrieving our luggage and made our way to Canary Wharf (the area of town we would be staying in). When we got off the tube and made our way above ground, there was barely anyone to be seen. Apparently, we were in the financial district. Over 300,000 people work in the financial district each week day, but only 5,000 live there. It was very quiet over the weekend.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Next came Mom and Dad's room. I believe this is supposed to be a "multi purpose" room. However, the owner of our apartment wants to be able to rent it as a 2 bedroom, so it is a 2nd bedroom. It was pretty squished, but had a nice view. And if you were peckish late at night, the kitchen wasn't far whatsoever... just past the foot of the bed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Lots of people around even though it wasn't the season! Not to mention, we were prepared for the cold, but not for the knives of ice that were coming at us through 20mph winds. Europe is having its second most unseasonably cold March ever.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This image is odd. Let me explain what you are seeing. The blue is the dash in front of me with the upper windshield. (Recognize the black window trim?) The red is the outside corner of the bus in front of us. Bus drivers are crazy in London. There was maybe an inch, if I'm being generous, between our bus and the next. They are so aggressive! Traffic as a whole is ridiculous in Europe and as long as I am in a big city with a transit system, driving is unnecessary. </span></div>

Belle is there for the entire storytelling experience. You get a photo with her and bookmark at the end. Considering some of the line to take pictures with the characters in the park run well over 30 minutes, the 40 minute wait for this interactive experience is well worth it! Our recommendation is to go here first when you reach the park. The new part of Fantasyland was barely maneuverable once it got a little later in the morning. Zac wasn't into participating along with everyone else. Rebel. However, his favorite part of the whole thing was Lumiere. (See him on the mantel. He was an animated robot/statue.) Once we were leaving he said, "Want one for my birthday." Can you make that happen Daddy?</div>

Afterward, Daddy took Zac to the carousel while the ladies waited in line for a chance to meet Ariel. She is Katie's favorite princess. </div>

So, not wanting her hair to be in her face in her pictures with her favorite princess, I stepped forward and readjusted her headband. Then I stepped back, and promptly slammed my camera on the ground, jamming the lens, rendering it completely useless. So, this is the last picture taken with my 4 month old Panasonic Lumix. <i>Sigh</i>.</div>

It was a really awesome day otherwise. I'm glad we went with the kids at this age. They were really excited and really enjoyed seeing all the rides and characters. We had a couple of close calls with meltdowns, but all you had to do was tell Zac another ride was waiting around the corner, and he got moving. Zac's favorite was of course, the "Buzz Lightyear Space Explorer" ride. Katie is our adrenaline junkie and loved "Thunder Mountain" and The Little Mermaid ride the most.</div>

So, this post should have been titled, "Kailyn's First Report Card!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instead, I decided to document what an extremely difficult task it is to get Kaitlyn Belle Crosby to take a respectable photograph! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(And just so you know, she was "On Level" and "Satisfactory" for every subject, and she received 3 ribbons for: academic excellence, perfect attendance, and good citizenship. She got to pick out a good handful of her Halloween candy to celebrate... and we saw "Wreck It Ralph" today.)</i></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I can't wait to go pick her up and see how her day went!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>--- UPDATE AT END OF DAY ---</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Kaitlyn was picked up at school and fell asleep in the car before we reached home. She couldn't tell me much about her classmates, but her favorite part of the day was playing outside and doing "centers" in class. Her favorite center is the blocks and she likes eating in the cafeteria, or "restaurant" as she likes to call it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I loved the note I found from Mrs. Haynes in Kaitlyn's agenda. It's been a long road with my iron-willed child. Hopefully, she will continue to behave beautifully and learn to love school. When I told her there were 180 days of school, she said, "I don't want to go to school for millions and millions of days!" She is hilarious!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Grammie and Papa Crosby rented a beach house for the week, so we headed over to Anna Maria Island on Saturday. Papa even splurged and took us all to Bonefish for he and Grammie's<br />
35th Anniversary! Congratulations to them this Thursday! </div>

I don't think anyone really had lunch that day, with all of the packing and setting up camp at the beach, so we were pretty hungry and inhaled our food. Gwen was especially determined to fit 5-6 penne noodles in her mouth with each bite. </div>

In true Riebow style, my battery died the first day. It was flashing as soon as we got there because heaven forbid I learn from the mistakes of my forefathers and check camera batteries before leaving for vacation. So, I missed out on a lot of photo opportunities the next couple days. Lame. I especially missed getting pictures of everyone together, and of Uncle Johnny and his sweet new wife Loren. They'll more than likely be gone by the time we get back on Friday afternoon. The kids loved having them around. And we'll look forward to the next time we get to see them.</div>

Today is Kaitlyn's 1st day of VPK... Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten. Now, in the State of Florida, they have free VPK to help prepare and assess kids before they enter the public school system. It isn't required, but it is essentially free school and activities for four year-olds. Luckily, since we are doing it during the summer, Kaitlyn is actually participating in a VPK program at the school she will be attending for Kindergarten. Her VPK teacher will not be her teacher for Kindergarten, but she will at least get used to the campus. </div>

There has been a lot of "Oh look! There is your school Katie!" when we pass by it, and "You'll be starting big girl school soon!", and all that jazz. This morning Kaitlyn was feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. When I asked if she was excited she replied, "And scared." I reassured her that was okay and that I used to get scared on the first day of school too. We finished getting ready and were about to take a picture before walking out the door when Katie asked, "Can I take a baby doll to school?" She used to take one to nap with at preschool. "Sorry, Honey. No baby dolls at big girl school." That was all she could take. I had the camera ready and told her to smile.... she couldn't stop wiping the tears away! Poor thing! No doll?! </div>

After the pitiful photo session, we told her she could take a doll in the car with her. That seemed to cheer her up. She was quiet for the five mile drive to Bailey but perked up once we got onto campus. There were other kids going to their classrooms and we found out our cousin Blake was going to be in the same class with Katie! Exciting!</div>

Once in the classroom, Ms. Moyer introduced herself and showed Katie where to put her nap mat. Then Katie found her assigned seat and Blake just happened to be assigned to sit right next to her! Yay! There was a picture of a bird waiting to be colored and cut out and Kaitlyn got right to work and didn't pay me any attention as I told her good bye. What a stinker.</div>

No calls from the school yet, and fingers crossed she has nothing but awesome things to say when the day is over!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this year I went to Girls Camp as the "Crafts Lady". It was my 11th year at Girls Camp and my 2nd time as the "Crafts Lady". Honestly, I never know quite what to do as the Crafts Lady. All I know for certain, is I don't want to do the crafts we did when I was girl... no offense to any of the women who were in charge of the crafts I participated in as a young woman. I know they put a ton of time and effort into creating crafts specifically geared toward the theme of camp. But I remember one year when sunflowers were really in and we had a baseball theme for camp... needless to say, it wasn't pretty.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I distinctly remember talking about how awful crafts were one year with my friends, when one confessed that each year, she pulled her 5 gallon bucket down from the attic, dumped out the previous years crafts and packed for camp. Then, once home, she unpacked her 10 gallon bucket, threw her old and new crafts back in, and stuck it back in the attic until next year. I don't want my crafts ending up hidden away in buckets!<br />
<br />
So, what to craft? Our theme this year is/was "Arise and Shine Forth", which is the Youth Theme for the year. Our camp director had already been using a camp fire motif on all of the Girls Camp paraphernalia. We could have made candles, but that is a little out of my comfort zone. (I remember one craft as a girl where we took already made tea lights, dipped them in wax, and decorated them with confetti shapes and letters while the wax was still wet.)<br />
<br />
After much contemplation, I decided to go with my initial thought which was "tie dye"! No matter how cool your camp shirt design is, most teenage girls aren't going to be hitting the mall in them. They will be worn to gyms, to work in the yard, to perform service activities, to go to sleep, and to create t-shirt quilts. Why not save a little on the cost and just do white shirts with a black logo?<br />
<br />
You could do a simple tie-dye recipe using cheap(er) supplies (which will end up with the dye fading with each and every wash), or you can get the good stuff.<br />
The good stuff can be found at <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/">www.dickblick.com</a>. It is called, "<span style="font-size: 100%;"><a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/procion-mx-fiber-reactive-cold-water-dye/">Procion MX Fiber Reactive Cold Water Dye</a>"; the customer service people are really awesome and will answer all of your questions promptly in regards to their products. They helped me calculate what I would need to dye 100 shirts. They were a little off on a couple of things, so here is what I would order if I were to do it again:<br /><br />15 lbs of soda ash (three 5lb. bags) @ $8.36 each<br />twenty-five 2/3oz. jars of Procion MX Cold Dye in a variety of colors @ $3.45 each<br />twelve 16oz. plastic bottles @ $1.24 each<br /><br />You also need to purchase: laytex gloves for each crafter (200 at Walgreens for $15), and lots of rubber bands for tying shirts ($10).<br /><br />Beside these supplies, you need to round up sharpies, ten 5 gallon buckets, a teaspoon measure, a funnel, 100 grocery bags, and an empty gallon jug.<br /><br />This should put you in the area of $140.00 for just one craft... which was basically my entire budget for crafts. But remember, white t-shirts with only black ink are cheaper than color shirts with multiple screen runs. So, my crafts budget got a little help from the t-shirt budget.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMreTUjX3KnkVEVITKwDg9MwKVgl3Pom0SEZSxxZe40RasO631vbecBRihOixwkFKyKuzmNZaOJDQ95OXkrk0V8ykfdNxaD4m46YsSjX_bum4LWQUltvnKBFCt6igBMnFMf0eU7bzVtcM/s1600/100_4537.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729907112353468498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMreTUjX3KnkVEVITKwDg9MwKVgl3Pom0SEZSxxZe40RasO631vbecBRihOixwkFKyKuzmNZaOJDQ95OXkrk0V8ykfdNxaD4m46YsSjX_bum4LWQUltvnKBFCt6igBMnFMf0eU7bzVtcM/s400/100_4537.JPG" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><span style="font-size: 100%;"><br />Since, our theme was "Arise and Shine Forth" I only ordered red, orange, and yellow dyes to create a flame effect. The pattern shown above is a "bullseye" pattern, which ended up being the easiest and most successful design for our theme (beside a classic spiral).<br /><br />Now, my one complaint is that even though we soaked the shirts, the ink barely bled. It was hardcore quality dye. We didn't get in the crevices enough. Some girls shirts were completely covered because they totally went to town with the dye. Other girls who didn't want to get too messy, ended up with shirts more like mine.<br /><br />However, if you're interested in tie dying, here are<a href="http://cdn.dickblick.com/items/013/02/pdfs/PMX_Tie_Dye_Instructions2.pdf"> the instructions from Dick Blick</a>.<br /><br />Before the craft rotation started, I had written each girls name with sharpie on the collar of their shirt. I organized them in the groups they were coming to craft it, and soaked them together. Then when that group arrived, I went to their buckets and wrung out each shirt and gave it to the corresponding girl. Then, I went over a few simple tying techniques, and the girls went to town. Once they are done dying, they keep them tied with rubber bands, and tie them into a grocery bag to soak over night.<br /><br />Now, I made the mistake of using my free time the next day to rinse and wring out each t-shirt. This meant cutting open each bag, cutting off the rubber bands, rinsing and wringing as best I could, all while standing behind huge industrial ovens in the kitchen. Luckily, a couple slacker youth leaders, a.k.a. my sister and her friend, came to my rescue half way through and helped cut open the shirts. I highly recommend NOT doing it by yourself. The job is a back breaker.<br /><br />I put all of the rinsed out shirts in my 5 gallon buckets and took them to a local laundromat. I was able to deliver them to each ward smelling like lavender, ready to be worn the next day for Bishop's night and the testimony meeting.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRkiRn-Vqc4aq7aAMWn3ITHLtG2EHpH9dI5GScLcvr1zTUKKaNggrt9yH9SA6F6n0Hgi2vbuxarXacX8o0f1u4P6-xySAtOMlF1-ErApNwSktbegi1Jahv2I-glqvV-PwpXR14_TZ41s/s1600/Girls+Camp+2012.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730090457956966642" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTRkiRn-Vqc4aq7aAMWn3ITHLtG2EHpH9dI5GScLcvr1zTUKKaNggrt9yH9SA6F6n0Hgi2vbuxarXacX8o0f1u4P6-xySAtOMlF1-ErApNwSktbegi1Jahv2I-glqvV-PwpXR14_TZ41s/s400/Girls+Camp+2012.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
Day 2 of crafts was way simpler... for most people. If you didn' t know how to braid, it was a little frustrating. I saw <a href="http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-beaded-bracelet/">these seed bead bracelets</a> on a fashion crafts site. They are stackable and adorable. Plus, the tutorial is very well done.<br />

I got my waxed linen cord from<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/susamsupplies"> this seller on etsy</a>. She was super cheap compared to others.<br />
And, it says to use size 8/0 beads, but 6/0 (which you can find at Michaels or JoAnns) works too.<br />
Also, for the latches I just got a couple of bags of shell buttons from JoAnns.<br />
You'll want to bring along some scissors, and safety pins for tension.<br />
I was able to buy enough supplies that each girl was able to make 2 bracelets, and I still had some left over.<br />

<br />
Before camp, I measured out all of the linen cord and beads, and placed each set of supplies in a snack bag. Then, I organized everything by color combination and let the girls choose once in the Craft Shack. It was a lot easier than managing the chaos of everyone picking out uber tiny beads from bowls. It would have resulted in a lot of waste.<br />
<br />

<br />
But, the bracelets were a hit! Even the Leaders loved making them and wearing them. I still wear mine multiple times a week. They're fun!<br />
<br />
Day 3 of crafts was not really a craft. I made a quilt before camp and all of the girls signed it for our Stake Young Women President (who had been released recently after 4 years of service) and wrote thank you notes that we assembled accordion style.<br />
<br />

If I had been able to do (not to mention, afford) another craft, it would have been glass jar lanterns. They were actually requested by our Program Directors to be used at our testimony meeting. However, the idea didn't come soon enough for all of the girls to bring their own jar, and buying 100 glass jars is expensive!<br />
<br />

But if you want to do it you could just have the girls put dot stickers on mason jars, then spray them with a clear frost paint, then remove the stickers, attach wires for a handle with cute ribbon for pizazz, and slip in a battery-operated candle. Or you could even use contact paper to trace out a word or the YW torch logo.<br />

However, my photographic approach has turned completely utilitarian. Photos document moments in our life. So, after nap time on Tuesday, I dragged the kids outside after throwing their Easter outfits on and running combs through their hair. "We are documenting Easter 2012! Smile!"<br /><br />Heaven help me!<br />Why is it so difficult to get two children to look at a camera and smile... at the same time?!

Today, was Katie Belle's first soccer game with the Plant City Parks and Recreation organization at the Otis M. Andrews sports complex. This will be the second generation of Crosbys to step onto the fields of this facility... and we're ready to tear it up! Or so I thought.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gux5kxpC0tC4Iv8EqelEHLDrIeGkE_QiME2P5JzJWeX3V9QB8JdCqtqh-U7db6ZMupGWW-gBoAdjf-u1lvrnyMbC0bpx4W6giXNNnw536CkXOSEoemfZUuY72M28zoKcNemtds-nGt4/s1600/100_4490.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gux5kxpC0tC4Iv8EqelEHLDrIeGkE_QiME2P5JzJWeX3V9QB8JdCqtqh-U7db6ZMupGWW-gBoAdjf-u1lvrnyMbC0bpx4W6giXNNnw536CkXOSEoemfZUuY72M28zoKcNemtds-nGt4/s320/100_4490.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726168987370552930" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our first game started off with pictures. Yay! Pictures! Right? Wrong. All of the four year old children were nervous and bewildered by all of the commotion; not to mention, all of the new faces. Needless to say, I'm not setting the bar high for the pictures we will be receiving from Sports Photo, Inc. One good thing that came out of the pictures was that Kaitlyn forged a friendship with a little girl from her team. We hadn't brought Katie's hot pink ball with us, because I thought for sure they would be supplying a ball for the game, but I didn't think about the pictures. All of the players were using their own balls in their photos. Katie immediately started to panic that we didn't have her ball, and I assured her we could borrow someone's ball. I quickly looked around and saw a purple one being held by a little girl on our team. Bingo! "Hello, I'm Rachel Crosby. This is Katie? Can we borrow your ball for a picture?" The sweet little Elisabeth allowed us to borrow her ball, and once we returned it, a bond had been formed. Kaitlyn and Elisabeth decided to hold hands while being organized for the team pictures. They held hands during the beginning of the game. They sat next to each other during breaks. They ran next to each other while chasing the ball during the second half. And Elisabeth couldn't leave without making sure to say good-bye at the end of the day. They were cute.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLVJc-5FGfs-9MDLyt_4cQDBNu3EoF_kn61aHFSimthXWIGbxzFflvR3t1L98l2EYjrq4umHxKS-_DGxmTXo7_mjzkNRBbfQRIbiUpUKSiuqshV2LwlYkY51lO8ppgtK9zU4sdboI_GSE/s1600/100_4498.JPG"> <img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLVJc-5FGfs-9MDLyt_4cQDBNu3EoF_kn61aHFSimthXWIGbxzFflvR3t1L98l2EYjrq4umHxKS-_DGxmTXo7_mjzkNRBbfQRIbiUpUKSiuqshV2LwlYkY51lO8ppgtK9zU4sdboI_GSE/s320/100_4498.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726168998738104994" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Anyway, after pictures we had to trudge over to our designated field. Jake then told me that Zac had pointed to the nearby wilderness and said, "Mons." (In Zac language, this means "monsters".) "No, mons." Jake told Zac, to which Zac replied, "Mons, live dere." So, Zac held hands while we walked past, and kept a look out to make sure no "mons" would be unexpectedly dropping by.<br /><br />We had a slow start to the game, which I am sure is completely typical. It was funny... as was most of the game.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(Tried inserting video here, but it wouldn't upload to blogger!)</span></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Jake went and talked to Katie about chasing after the ball, and not holding hands with Elisabeth while being on the field. There is no audio, but who needs audio for a meltdown?<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPj34lKui9iex2PcFG27CoaLBLbrnw09sgc1MvwpzHmHFbHjPYMbGn7fFIh67_9t9ayt19azpkcjUYvNFSSW5TLnx3RShL5itrlyympSD2-ZaX3q5OF8-6C0nRzHOxT2MQNFjYVPqtTA/s1600/100_4509.JPG"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzxnuIrPC1cu-mArU_p9PqAeZghCqRAPeXunWIi1xAS-QPq8xKAoLJNeEtWQqEUEVTyeyEUsoMSYP2n8WO2UQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></a><br /><br />Good times.<br /><br />While Katie was melting down on the field, our Coach came along (he's really nice) and asked if she wanted to go sit on the bench, she took him up on his offer. She calmed down, and started to watch the game while glowering.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfg7Q9LrvKzwYz803FqCygWO8qy-tukZ0x8oEPJntUXErHqoQUWr2qRbggGGhh4wVHCSfASI808BiZnwhpGMWoQMAdDEaYdqBuCtr4zPZiIFN6empv6ETO86ULDS-hMB3spcxyIUdkI6M/s1600/100_4500.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfg7Q9LrvKzwYz803FqCygWO8qy-tukZ0x8oEPJntUXErHqoQUWr2qRbggGGhh4wVHCSfASI808BiZnwhpGMWoQMAdDEaYdqBuCtr4zPZiIFN6empv6ETO86ULDS-hMB3spcxyIUdkI6M/s320/100_4500.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726169025955635634" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then they got Capri Suns during a break. I could tell she was thinking, "This isn't so bad."<br /><br />Once Katie got back in the game, she ran around with the rest of the herd of children, chasing the ball with a big smile on her face. She even got it at one point, and ran while kicking it in the correct direction! She didn't score a goal, but it got her more excited about playing.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh45eVj5Nmbp-4AmzxkFU45yhghMD_HSJLwxJi8zjPP_DjLFdyMXc9_7HA0P5cgKsRktDY6ECWjFh7cGvIdxS0CWZO1g5teRtzIzV38IiOieB2kKD9ZSJQP631X8-8MA40d1oiqv4Iplq8/s1600/100_4506.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh45eVj5Nmbp-4AmzxkFU45yhghMD_HSJLwxJi8zjPP_DjLFdyMXc9_7HA0P5cgKsRktDY6ECWjFh7cGvIdxS0CWZO1g5teRtzIzV38IiOieB2kKD9ZSJQP631X8-8MA40d1oiqv4Iplq8/s320/100_4506.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726169809975756226" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDnWoVqMr2WAXVPu5g3WC49bhExYo25MStggryxJSlB78FduKyb5rUaVoWMnooCg7w5URlZce9QmZRvpgPmHypM3WxyAdvJTtwqfQOKmuDK6yAeKsBqeMPzTMQGJOHrku4RQkD4IPlgkM/s1600/100_4505.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDnWoVqMr2WAXVPu5g3WC49bhExYo25MStggryxJSlB78FduKyb5rUaVoWMnooCg7w5URlZce9QmZRvpgPmHypM3WxyAdvJTtwqfQOKmuDK6yAeKsBqeMPzTMQGJOHrku4RQkD4IPlgkM/s320/100_4505.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726169044842022370" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Then they had half-time, with goldfish crackers for a snack! You can tell she is totally feeling comfortable with the situation at this point. Her arm is over the back of the bench, checking out what is happening on the field next to us, sitting next to Elisabeth... she's good.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzXS6JBbFhWf5NuaMCBu-DZGbH53eVzPeNw6xCwUNsZi0wmsMnpq_TjFgqhCvzQeuyGL1NiigZtqksPxrev0mtkTnU_iSPAUJon4AcpvZ0jUh93p3TZ1QDWusZJIvs-951y_1uizdjIM/s1600/100_4503.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJzXS6JBbFhWf5NuaMCBu-DZGbH53eVzPeNw6xCwUNsZi0wmsMnpq_TjFgqhCvzQeuyGL1NiigZtqksPxrev0mtkTnU_iSPAUJon4AcpvZ0jUh93p3TZ1QDWusZJIvs-951y_1uizdjIM/s320/100_4503.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726169036778536770" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The rest of the game played out well, with this guy below scoring most of the goals. Luckily, he is on our team. His name is DJ and I'm guessing his Mom and Aunt played when they were younger because at the end of the game his Aunt was attempting to school him, but he kept up with her.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPj34lKui9iex2PcFG27CoaLBLbrnw09sgc1MvwpzHmHFbHjPYMbGn7fFIh67_9t9ayt19azpkcjUYvNFSSW5TLnx3RShL5itrlyympSD2-ZaX3q5OF8-6C0nRzHOxT2MQNFjYVPqtTA/s1600/100_4509.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPj34lKui9iex2PcFG27CoaLBLbrnw09sgc1MvwpzHmHFbHjPYMbGn7fFIh67_9t9ayt19azpkcjUYvNFSSW5TLnx3RShL5itrlyympSD2-ZaX3q5OF8-6C0nRzHOxT2MQNFjYVPqtTA/s320/100_4509.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726169819892586498" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Once we were done, there were lots of hugs for Grammie, and big smiles because is was fun!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1qupfFPZQjiOdfsudnsO35zJ7sCvC4qbXEWvHjJYhRBSDZU3MmpxEBwgTO3ixoCcdUCtdsi4jRR4pDxhzUloSLDEVi0gjFYi1bCWhAiGPA68YJ2F8ZWC85wluLwnlomVufGeXWz_DT8Q/s1600/100_4510.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1qupfFPZQjiOdfsudnsO35zJ7sCvC4qbXEWvHjJYhRBSDZU3MmpxEBwgTO3ixoCcdUCtdsi4jRR4pDxhzUloSLDEVi0gjFYi1bCWhAiGPA68YJ2F8ZWC85wluLwnlomVufGeXWz_DT8Q/s320/100_4510.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726169826341173122" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxxZmXPbHAOfUbi2XQCnZCFpDi26VtB0QZnTzy6hLYfeM16fuvyeeFu88rovdHlgJJgJuavC18CGYJOIHNoI5OXzSPHMDQ_Ii8z3HeCHLpO5lHpvM1UV8t17lu5x2Uo5EMIiPDJyO1pU/s1600/100_4512.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmxxZmXPbHAOfUbi2XQCnZCFpDi26VtB0QZnTzy6hLYfeM16fuvyeeFu88rovdHlgJJgJuavC18CGYJOIHNoI5OXzSPHMDQ_Ii8z3HeCHLpO5lHpvM1UV8t17lu5x2Uo5EMIiPDJyO1pU/s320/100_4512.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726169838095999906" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And, of course, we can't forget about the "mons".
