This week is spring break for the kids. Today, I was off of work, so I took the kids to the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum. I also volunteered to host my neighbor’s kids, Mason(11) and Lucas(6). Since Lucas is Arianna’s age, I toured the museum with them while the older boys wandered off on their own. It turns out later that they spent a lot of time in the Museum Shop, but that’s ok. Then we met their mom in Ann Arbor for lunch at Denny’s. That was an adventure, thanks to the quality of the food. After that, we went back home and the kids played games and watched some TV and had numerous Easter Egg hunts in the house. It is still cold in Michigan, having received several inches of snow Friday night, so no one played outdoors. I forgot to take the camera, so this picture is from my cell phone facing the sunlight, not a good scene, but it worked ok.
   When Cyndi came home, Arianna and I went around the neighborhood to collect donations for her upcoming Jump Rope for Heart, and the donations go to the American Heart Association. Arianna makes the whole speech herself(with a couple words from me), and she can really rake it in. You can’t turn down a face like that.
