Weekend Rewind

PLAY TIME: Friday night was the finale of the play CJ was involved in, "Ariadne's Thread -The Adventures of Theseus and the Minotaur."

It was a packed house both nights of the play's short run, and prior to each play, we served up 150 plus spanakopita portions on demand. I think we're ready to open a restaurant. :)

CJ is the tall kid on the left-hand side of the stage.

WEEKEND FUN: Saturday, we had a good time with out-of-town visitors (hi Nonnie and Bops!). We went to Card Kingdom and Cafe Mox, where we played the board game Concept.

Later in the afternoon, we went to see "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" again. It was awesome again. 

Sunday, we took it easy, watching football and building some rockets.

 We picked up these papercraft kits last fall during a traveling NASA Space Launch System exhibit at The Museum of Flight.

Having put a couple of similar NASA papercraft models together before, we knew that these kits aren't for beginners. We're here to tell you that the SLS rocket project was a bit of a bear, especially building the solid rocket boosters.

We also went for a sunny Sunday stroll down along the waterfront. We parked near the Louis-Dreyfus grain terminal, and checked out the ship in port at Pier 86.

It was from Greece, and called Maverick Guardian.  According to MarineTraffic.com, the vessel was built in 2012, and it weighs 82740 tons. 

Since yesterday, it has left Seattle. As of Monday night, it was off the west coast of Canada.

We checked out the rose garden in Centennial Park.  Since our winter has been pretty mild, I figured we'd find a few roses. My hunch was right.

The kids did some rock climbing. The gentleman sleeping under the enormous boulder didn't seem to mind.

 And we checked out the art installation in the shadow of the old Seattle Post Intelligencer sign.

ART PROJECT: Annabelle continues to churn out the artwork. Below is a "Nonnie" pony she drew this weekend, and a Perler bead owl she made.

 She's also working on a big David Bowie piece.

She found a great Ziggy Stardust face photo, pixelated it, and printed it out with a grid atop it. 

 Now, she's painstakingly working on placing each bead in the perfect spot.

It's going to be amazing when she's done!
