Globetrotters, Skating and Delaware - Oh My

February 13, 2009: Free tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters at MSG (that is New Yorker for Madison Square Garden - which Dagny has pointed out is circular and not a square at all). They were great courtside seats. The girls were rather concerned that they were being made to go to a basketball game (we are not a very sporty family), but they were very entertained by the Globetrotters and got their mini basketballs autographed by the players. After the game they wanted to continue to dribble in the hotel - bad to be thrown out of mommy's hotel....


Due to a overbooking by Mommy - Family friend and NYU grad student - Laura took the kids to the Globetrotter game and Gwen and Joel went to see Phantom of the Opera (hooray for a date night).



Congratulations on passing Ice Skating Basic 1. The girls got ice skating dresses to start Basic 2 class. They are so excited, but say their legs get cold - plus their jackets cover most of the outfit - but they look like pros.





March 14, 2009: We took a weekend trip to Delaware (everything is so close in the East Coast). We could not even get to Pocatello in 3 hours in Boise and here we have been through 3 states and close to several others.

We stayed at an incredible Courtyard by Marriott in Newark, DE (kids loved the pool). We went to see an actor friend from the Idaho Shakespeare Festival in Of Mice and Men at University of Delaware.

We were excited to see signs for Spring there - mini red tulips. Cozy bear has been in many pictures with Dagny - all over the country - over the past ten years...




One of the great things about having kids - is you can finally get your pictures taken as a couple.

Who knew Delaware did not have a Capitol Building? After a brief (Dover is not very big) drive around town and not being able to find the Capitol, we asked at the museum to find we were looking at it across the lawn. They call it "Legislative Hall". We got our picture with it for proof of being to the Delaware State Capitol in Dover. Dover makes Boise look bustling with only 32,000 people. We did drive by Dover Downs - it is huge! We thought it was for horse racing, but also at the museum discovered it was NASCAR. We learned a few things in Delaware - it was a good trip!
