Weekend Wrap-up

On Friday night, we had leftover stuffed salmon from Costco for dinner. Maia had a hotdog because, "I'm not so sure about salmon."

On Saturday, Rebecca took Maia to see Disney on Ice, featuring abridged versions of Frozen and Encanto performed by ice-skating singers at the Patriot Center (which I just learned was rebranded with the ridiculous name, "EagleBank Arena", in 2015). Meanwhile, Ian and I visited my parents in Alexandria where Ian acquired new noisy toys to delight and enchant. The singing dump truck has the worst song every embedded in a toy -- even worse than the songs that Violet sings. Once everyone had returned home from their respective hajjs, we all went to the last hour of SterlingFest together. Maia jumped in two bounce houses and pet a bunny, then got sad when her balloon sword came untied and ultimately popped in the grass. Ian climbed the bars around the petting zoo and licked them heartily.

On Sunday, morning, Maia opened up an ice skating studio where she taught us how to ice skate:

The rest of the family went to the farmer's market while I stayed home and played Overwatch 2, a game which has nothing in it to justify the "2". After lunch, we built our first Fall fire in the fire pit and made s'mores while teaching Ian the ins and outs of not falling into a fire. We made a tray bake of chicken and farmer's market veggies for dinner.

How was your weekeend?
