Weekend escapes

Not a bad weekend. Escaped for a sleepover at Michelle's on Friday night. We stayed up until the early hours drinking and eating; blueberry crepes at 1:30am anyone? Why not. Watched the A-Team movie...good bubblegum for the brain (I was a big fan of the A-Team), and re-runs of Seinfeld and Friends. I would post a picture of us...but it's not pretty. We decided that our new slogan should be, "No one gets hurt laying on the couch". This is a direct response to my ongoing saga of injuries as a result of trying to be healthy and active.

Bronwyn had her own sleepover at her friend Emma's on Saturday night. They went swimming and saw a movie. This is a lot for Bronwyn who burns out very quickly. She had a great time...but was very, very tired on Sunday (and this means that she is beyond cranky with the rest of us). On Sunday I took Bronwyn to the Museum of Anthropology to see the Coastal First Nations Dance Festival. We saw them a while back (actually 2 years ago...wow, time goes by fast) and she still talks about them. I promised I would take her. It was well worth it. We watched the dancers for about an hour and a half. They were excellent; great dances and movements, and fascinating stories. The costumes and masks were stunning. Of course the batteries for my camera ran out...so I couldn't get many decent pictures. At least that meant I could concentrate on watching and enjoying.

We ran into Mike, Sarah, Nicky and extended family while we were there. Nicky was running around in a batman costume with yellow wellies on...pretty funny.

Otherwise we are just experiencing shock, along with the rest of the world, at the horrendous devastation in Japan. It is unbelievable.
