Took Destiny and Jasmine to see a movie. It was a re-release of ‘Finding Nemo’. I forgot how scary that movie is! Between the sharks and barracudas and that monster fish in the deep dark with the light (shudder) ….just lots of scary parts and of course it starts with the mom getting killed. I could hear some young ones in the theater who had not seen it before crying.

Disney’s motto should be “We start your kids in therapy, so you don’t have to”

Destiny and Jasmine both had “head in the sleeve” moments but were troopers and had candy, pizza and soda to give them strength.

After the movie they convinced Jeff and me that swimming was next, so we carried over the water theme and sat in the bleachers while the sisters had fun. Destiny is quite the swimmer and was able to pass the test to get onto the diving board. Jasmine almost passed, still needs to work on her back stroke. She’ll get there.

We ended the day back at Destiny’s house where Patty and Brian served a great meal with lot of grilled veggies and fresh pineapple for dessert.

At the recommendation of our neighbor, we tried a new restaurant this evening: Swagat Indian Cuisine. The verdict is we like it. Very homey atmosphere – literally a home converted to a dinning experience. Lots of nice cherry wood colors.

We are use to buffet style with Indian Cuisine, so having to choose one dish was a bit overwhelming. The waitress made some recommendation which were good ones. While looking over the menu we saw this awesome salad being served to the table next to us. So we ordered that as well. It was delicious with a mild lemon and cumin type dressing and lots of cut veggies. Jasmine ate most of it on her own and finished her meal with Mango pudding.

Everything was really good and we decided we needed to come back for lunch and try the buffet.

We went to our fav salad and pizza bar for our holiday lunch. I was easily convinced due to the restaurant’s kids $2 deal. We took our neighbor Grace along for the fun. They played lots of games. They even ate their vegies.

Hurray for the Easter bunny! Another year of plentiful goody baskets and the living room egg hunt.

Our annual tradition is to decorate eggs with our friends Beth and daughter Ella. Of course, the girls always find time to do some jumping on the trampoline. And the adults made time for some serious snacking.

Then we all got down to business of dipping and dunking eggs to make beautiful Easter beauties.
