::::::::::::::::::::::::Romeo and Juliet::::
was the tragedy on our slate of Shakespeare plays, yesterday. It was pretty neat to see Alan Rickman, a.k.a. Professor Snape, as Tybalt. As always, I was doing an English to English translation of the play for Aaron. He asked some good questions. Eve came down towards the end of the play and wanted me to fill her in on the entire plot. I think this has to be where it starts. You know...the folks that come in late to movies, or ones that jump to the back of the book to get the end, but have no clue how the characters came to their conclusions. I certainly hope this isn't a permanent trait!
::::::::::::::::::::::::Eclipse of the Moon:::::::
We promised to wake the kids to watch the eclipse of the moon, but the sky was completely cloudy. They all woke up in distress for having missed the event. I told them my powers to control the weather had been taken away. (However, I did not reveal the reason...and ya know they didn't ask! I think they took my answer statement as sarcastic.)
::::::::::::::::::::::::Vacation Layouts::::::
A layout of one of the shops during our trip to Colonial Williamsburg:
Text: The ladies and gentleman at the Wig Makers shop were very funny when talking to the children. Rachel, along with several other people, told the wig makers about donating hair to Locks of Love where wigs are made for people under going cancer treatment. The wig makers informed us that in Colonial Williamsburg that only hair from European woman were used in their fine wigs. Any hair donated by a girl in the colonies would be used as stuffing. They asked us all to leave the shop by the back door because they didn't want to lose any business due to the poor quality of our "wigs".

Here is a layout from our stint in Philadelpha. This is the day we took the ferry over to Camden, New Jersey.
Text: These photos were taken after Rachel and the rest of the family walked over to see if the New Jersey battle ship was still open for a tour. When we arrived it was closed and her feet were aching so much that she wanted to cry. She chose to laugh for a bit instead.

That's funny. Laura's powers to control the weather were broken this morning, too. I assumed it had something to do with the alignment of the planets. Luna in Earth's shadow or some such.
