Passover

Friday morning, Arnie and Maggie went to the aquarium and on a train ride, while Grace napped. The train broke down for a little while, so it ended up being a little longer ride then expected (at least for Arnie, I'm not sure Maggie noticed).

Give me a hug Gabe!!!

Daddy and Maggie at the aquarium.

Aunt Diane brought a book to read Maggie about a little girl who ends up coloring herself with permanent markers, they read it several times. Diane found some washable "tattoo" pens, so she and Maggie did some drawing.

It said the pens were washable, but it took some scrubbing to get her clean for the Seder.

Maybe it will be easier to take a cousin picture in a few years.

Cheers, Daddy!

Maggie adored baby Mina.

Maggie found the hidden Matzoh. First, she took it to Pop's and convinced him
to pay her $20 for it, then Jennifer gave her a prize for finding it.

Aunt Gwenn had a few toys to keep the kids occupied during dinner.

Maggie convinced Arthur to climb in the ball tent too. He was a really good sport.

Gracie really liked dessert.

I was really proud of the girls. The Seder was several hours long and they both did great. Maggie sat in her chair and listened, she was very respectful and patient. It was a long dinner for a 3 year old but she did awesome. Gracie sat through some of it, and she spent the rest of the time crawling around the room checking on peoples purses.

them for all the girls.

Our flights home were a little bit hectic. Our first flight was delayed an hour, we had a two hour layover in Denver, and after getting on our second flight and taking our seats in the back row (right outside the bathroom), the pilot informed us that we would be waiting on the ground while they tried to fix the smelly toilet problem.....the girls were troopers and after a long day of flying we were back home!
