FRIDAY - Hanging out

I got up around 07:30AM feeling well rested after 9 hours of sleep.

The kids' friend Erin visited for the day after she and Sophia went climbing at PLANET GRANITE, a rock climbing gym, this morning. The girls seemed pretty happy with their rock climbing adventures at PLANET GRANITE.

Around noon we went to the awesome Brazilian restaurant FOGO DE CHAO for lunch. My favorite Portland restaurant so far, and a Carnivore's Heaven. Jackie walked to the restaurant for the exercise. I wussed out because the temperature was too warm for me (about 70 degrees Fahrenheit). I loved my food. Even after I ate a full plate of salad and then of meat and 8 Polenta sticks, my stomach did not feel full. So I ate an Organic VEGAN Bar with Almond Butter for dinner around 05:00PM. Eating the bar seems to have increased my energy :-) And my stomach was happy as well :-)))

After dinner I had fun playing DIXIT with Jackie and Steve and the kids. The kids were plenty loud and rowdy! Sophia led early in the game, and James ultimately won. Marc decided to stay in his room; he probably fell asleep... And such was our Friday for 2015.
