Friday was "Family Movie Night," last night
was hamburger out night, and tonight was Greek Night,.
When we arrived at Tom's, Uncle Norm was busy
reading a book of Greek Heroes and Legends to Brianna, who was sucking on a
blue cheese stuffed Greek olive.
(She didn't like it much)
Elsewhere in the room, Auntie O was reading
to Lacie
Meanwhile, Daddy was outside showing off his
gyro to Uncle Joe.
We were all convinced he couldn't put what
was essentially a meatloaf on a spit and roast it over the BBQ, but he
proved us wrong.
Soon it was time for the movie, Disney's
Hercules. The girls dressed in togas and sandals...
...Bri got her Pegasus stuffed animal she
bought at Disneyland...
and they settled in with their gyros and
dolmas (the gyros were a hit; the dolmas were not).
In truth, the movie was pretty stupid and I
was the only adult who stuck it out to the end. The rest retreated to
the patio to watch football on Tom's outdoor television set.
We all were fading fast, so as soon as the
girls went to bed, we headed back to Alice Nan & Joe's to collapse
ourselves.
We have had 3 nice days with the girls and
know that tomorrow Uncle Ned will arrive and they won't even know we are
there any more.
