{Friday}

After school we hopped on a train headed into the city...

I really enjoy taking the train in opposed to driving.  It becomes part of the adventure for the kids and with the baby it's so much easier.  we snacked, chatted, looked out the window and Fiona did some reading.

She's been reading a book a day from this series. A couple of weeks ago she was waking up late every morning.  We became suspicious and found out she had hid a torch in her bed and was staying up late reading.

Finally we arrived at the Docklands...

We patiently waited until 7 O'clock...

When the winter sky magically lit up over the harbour...

We watched in awe...

I wish I had a picture of Reed who was pretending to be in the middle of "Shock and Awe".

 He'd stand with us for a few minutes then he'd become absorbed in his war game again, running for cover.

 Little Boys!

After the grand finale we walked around a bit and found a delicious restaurant...

The big kids took turns zooming around in Clay's pram...

Then a quiet ride back home...

This mama couldn't have thought of a better way to spend her Friday...
