Super Bowl Sunday!
 |
| Challah French Toast |
 |
| Fresh pineapple chunks and sausage and bacon |
First we picked up Dylan and Pete for brunch at Erich and Laura's place, then we took the boys and Arya to the Launch Trampoline Park in Prince George's County. We had a leftover arcade game card from the Rockville Launch facility, but it had closed. Unfortunately the card was no longer valid, but the manager gave the kids some time in Laser Tag.

| Pete watches Arya at air hockey... |
 |
| ...while at the other end Kent watches Dylan |
We are so glad that we could spend a good chunk of time with the grandsons, and many thanks to Erich and Laura for inviting and hosting us for the Super Bowl game.
