ROCKO Olympics
The kids had a spectacular time at the ROCKO olympic-themed event. I have been waiting to post about it because I was hoping they would post pictures of the event on Facebook, but so far, they haven’t. I wanted to show the cool stuff they got though, especially the medals. Zora wears hers everywhere now and I am amazed at the effort that went into making them. I lovc them.
They also liked their “laurel leaves” and showed me the certificates they had won. (Zora for sock figure skating, and Zane for balloon tennis). They kept them busy, entertained, and wore them out while Zach and I had a meandering, spontaneous, relaxing day around town.
We tried out “Jimmy’s Egg” (quite yummy), and headed to the downtown library, found no parking because of the Garden (*achoo*) Show, so we decided to wander around the big “Gander Mountain” downtown since it is supposed to be a “destination attraction”. Not sure what makes it all that fabulous though…it does have some cool stuff, but since we neither hunt nor fish, and that is 3/4 of the store, it was not someplace we will return to. (although we did have fun making the fake ducks and turkeys talk to each other). We also went to the China Market, found some Mustard, got creeped out and tried to leave and the guy left at the register didn’t speak English and we think he was trying to tell us to just take it and go. We gave him some cash because we weren’t leaving without paying for it, and got our butts out of there as fast as we could go. lol. We finished by checking out “Chelmsford Tea” and getting an ounce of some Cammomile and an ounce of Green tea leaves to make at home later. (also got a big ball that I can use for tea and herbs for soup that I have wanted for a long time). It was fun, largely because it was spontaneous.
We all came home happy and relaxed.
