Purim


Happy Purim! Seth was very excited to dress up like Curious George (again) for Purim (a Jewish holiday celebrating the Jews overcoming a plot to kill them by the bad guy of the holiday, Haman). Seth was also glad to have his friend, the Man with the Yellow Hat, show up - and to add a banana to the mix for good measure. I think Justin was very confused by the whole thing though.

Mom rounded things out as Professor Wiseman (a character from the Curious George TV show) and I think we all looked pretty great. They gave out awards for the best kid and adult costumes, but unfortunately there was no award for best family-themed costumes or we clearly would have won.



We were also glad Nana joined us. It was a big help having an extra set of hands, and just fun to have her there.






Seth had a blast with the carnival games, especially the big moon bounce/castle. Connected to the moon bounce was this really tall slide, which we (Jerald) encouraged Seth to go down. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that to go down he slide you first had to climb a tall (maybe 15 foot high) rope ladder. By the time Seth got to the top there were a bunch of bigger kids lined-up down the ladder behind him, but he made it to the top and was so proud and happy when he came down!
