I went back to the pictures I took this week to figure out what to post, and realized how much we did this week! Of course Sunday was Easter, and Katie's first visit from the Easter Bunny. Rationing candy is turning out to be a bit of a trick. She definitely has her parents' sweet tooth, specifically chocolate. The flowers Katie is holding in this picture are from the UU church, where we also had flower communion.
Tuesday we went to a San Antonio Missions (minor league baseball) game with a bunch of Dave's colleagues. It was a beautiful sunny day with good hotdogs and a losing team. Oh, well. We all had fun. It felt like playing hooky (which all the engineers were doing, even if their managers were with us) -- nice feeling when you don't really have anything to play hooky from!
Wednesday night Dave and I had a real date, with a babysitter for Katie and everything. The highlight (OK, dinner was really good) was to see John Cleese speak at Trinity University. He spoke on creativity and how to cultivate it. He was interesting, and of course extremely funny. The best part was the last audience question: a young boy (10 or 11) came up to the mike and said "Would you autograph my killer rabbit slippers?" And Cleese did. It really broke up the audience. He's so amazing. We also thought it was cool that he thinks the best comedy writing right now is being done by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
And then Friday Katie and I went with our friends Kim and Luke to see a performance of "If You Give a Mouse A Cookie". It was really well done. The kids loved it, and there was a lot for the parents, too. Kim and I are thinking the kids might now be ready for the Peter Rabbit play we saw advertised...It's also Fiesta time here, which means 11 days of huge parties, parades, etc., etc. throughout San Antonio. We're going to try to go to a few things that aren't downtown (avoiding the biggest crowds and traffic) -- so I'll post those later.
