Harry Potter/Eating by the Quay

Sorry it's been so long since our last blog.  It's been a busy time with school starting and not having kiddos to lug groceries home.  The kids are adjusting very well to their new school, making friends fast and getting adjusted to the expectations their teachers require.

Last weekend we took the kids to the Harry Potter exhibit at the lotus inspired looking ArtScience museum.  We were able to see the costumes and props used in the actual movie (sorry no pictures -- we weren't allowed)  But favs were the sorting hat ceremony, seeing the wands, the snitch, Hagrids Hut, sweets like chocoloate frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans,  throwing some quaffles through the hoops, the wizarding books, pulling the mandrakes up and hearing them scream, the golden egg, etc)
Afterwards we had some Indian food down by the Quay. 

Sarah took a picture of these lotus flowers in a huge decorative pool surrounding the ArtScience museum.
