Saturday

 It was a busy day for everyone. Dad and Ethan spent the night in Torrance and went to an all day soccer tournament.  It was a two day tournament, as most of them are, but Ethan's coach has allowed E to be on the team knowing he would be missing Sunday's.  Anyway.  They had two games and then the team went together to watch the LA Galaxy game.  I asked R how it went and he said: good.  They lost one game and tied the other.  It was a higher level of play and lot more red cards than we are used too.  Also it was cold.   I asked E and he said he didn't play very well but it was really fun and he had a good weekend.  They got home around midnight.

In the meantime Hannah and I went to see Neverland.  It was her 2nd bday theater outing.  We had a very fun night.  We got there early and went to the PieHole for dinner.  Hannah had shepard's pie and I had a chicken pot pie.  Then we walked around a bit before the theater opened. The play was awesome.  We LOVED it.  Go see it!  It was sweet and sad and magical and the music was amazing.  We got home a little after midnight...which meant that R was the one who had to drive Patty home since he beat us by 20 minutes or so.

 A little bit of the magic.  There is something about an awesome stage production that is a really different and magical experience.  Not like seeing a movie or watching TV.

So that left Grace.  It was an unfortunate scheduling issue that we all had plans on the same night.  I didn't want her to spend all night alone so we ended up asking Patty if she wanted to come hang out.  The girls ate pizza, watched TV and played games.  They had fun but I think it was kind of long for them.
