Today got off to a slow start today as the kids all wanted to sleep in- and to be honest- so did I. However, our late start meant that one of the lost bags made it to us before we left for the day. The good news is that it contained some of our clothes- the bad news was no makeup!! The other suitcase has returned from it's jaunt and will be delivered in the morning which just leaves our duffle bag missing. Not that any of the bags had nothing important in them but the duffle bag has a couple of critical things in them- the snacks, the Baby Bjorn carrier (that we will certainly need to get through the airport) and the car seat (which I paid a lot of money for a ticket for the baby so I can use the car seat on the plane) We will see what the airline does to fix this…. Hopefully it can be found but I am losing my optimistic attitude about it. And I just heard for a family who just returned from Ethiopia who said lots of the bags were lost at least for a while. I am not looking forward to dealing with this again. Hopefully, since we don't have a connection our bags will all make it there.
Today we spent the day at the science center NEMO. The kids had a lot of fun running through all the exhibits, even though they have a science center at home, for some reason Bernoulli's exhibit is more fun at other science centers. They also had a replica of a 1700 ship docked outside the museum. The kids also liked pretending to be pirates and running around. D's favorite part was this recording of a dog in one of the mock up scenes on the ship. She tried and tried to find the real dog and just couldn't quite figure it out. The kids are less crabby today after a good nights sleep. It's been better adjusting to the time change here when we can do what we want when we want. Hopefully it will help them to be pleasant later this week in Ethiopia.
That's about all from here. The kids are loving the French fries that they serve everywhere and tomorrow we are hoping to find a good pancake place for lunch. Pancakes are very popular as well.
