A Day of Adventure with Super Nina and Super Boaz

So yesterday was quite the fun Saturday. I was asked by Jason and Gretchen if I could watch Bo so they could go to a movie and have some date time. I knew I didn't want to spend the day in the house, so I devised a plan of adventure. I found out that at the local libraries you can check out a "play pass" which gets up to four people into the children's museum for free. I then called around and found a nearby branch that had an available pass and then gathered the troops. Megan wasn't doing anything for the day and wanted to get out of the house as well, so she agreed to accompany me. We decided it would be really fun to have Super Nina along, so we arranged to pick her up from her hide out and away we went.

We had to stop at the library to get the pass first which presented some difficulties including an expired library card and some long over due fines, but after some sorting we were able to get things taken care of and off we went. Once we got to downtown, our next challenge was to find parking which took us a few laps around the block, but we found just the spot. After piling the kids out of the car and taking care to hold hands, we were on our way down the street to our destination. Once we arrived, the real fun began. We spent a little over an hour having meals served to us on golden platters, creating life size houses out of foam blocks, making shadow puppets in the dark, and building the miniature house of our dreams. A great time was had by all. We had to depart at 1:30 sharp to get Super Nina home for her afternoon slumber.

Once we dropped Nina off at her super hero home, it was back to the Bradley mansion for the rest of us. We were then transformed into super heros of our own, ready to save the world. Even Haddie had a cape with bright pink powers to defeat the bad guys that came our way.

I ended the day with an adventure of my own with my good friend Alyssa. It was the night of the 4A boys high school basketball state championship. We made our way to the Tacoma Dome to support our respective teams. I wanted Curtis High School to win and Alyssa wanted Gonzaga Prep. Alyssa talked me into sitting on the Gonzaga side because it was much less crowded. It was a great game and pretty close till the very end where Curtis seemed to all but give up and ended up loosing by 20 points :( They still got 2nd in the state though so not all was a loss for the season.
