This weekend was a breath of fresh air after a week of drizzling in a supposedly beautiful summer in Vermont.  It was surprisingly sunny all day long. 

We started off Saturday with a brunch with friends at Skinny Pancake along the Waterfront in Downtown Burlington.  That place is packed even at 10am!  It got a lot more crowded as it approached lunchtime and seriously...if you arrive 10am and go on queue, you'll finally get your order taken after 20minutes...and wait for your order to arrive within another 30-45min.  By the time you eat your food it's just about lunchtime anyway.  But it was a good serving of healthy breakfast.  i had an egg feta crepe (aside from the egg and the feta...it was stuffed with spinatch and olives) with a side of fresh greens.  Hubby on the other hand had "The Lumberjack" which was pretty much ham and cheese crepe.  All in all it was all good and well worth the wait...granted that it was a nice day.

After brunch we hung out at the waterfront with the toddlers (Coleen and Matty) walking hand in hand.  They looked so cute together!  If only arranged marriage is not a dated concept, I would definitely pursue it.  Hahaha...being in a foreign land gives us a lot of nightmares...so arranged marriage would have been convenient.  Anyway, the kids had fun feeding the ducks with Pops cereal.  Though Coleen is just an inch or two taller than Matthew, her wide range of vocab obviously shows that she's 9 months older than him.  Plus of course, she's a girl, which puts her in a better spot as far as vocab goes (us women are more advanced in the talking field for reaons obvious to most people).  After finishing a whole pouch of cereal, we realized that we were not supposed to feed the ducks. :-) oops! our bad..

What we have been planning for for weeks now is to watch a movie in a drive-in theater.  I only saw the concept in TV shows where people watch movies from a parking lot.  It would be cool to be able to get into one and experience this part of the American culture.  Plus the fact that we could go watch a movie with the toddler without bugging the other moviegoers with all the whining and noise looks like a convenient concept for  us. 

Since it was a non-rainy day Saturday...we pushed through.  There were four movies showing and when we entered a piece of paper was given to us which shows the corresponding radio frequency we should turn our car radio to to hear the audio for every movie.  If we are parked between "Dark Knight" and the "Mummy", we can actually decide to watch either of the two movies by just a change in channel.  If that is not cool enough, we got to watch two movies in one night for the price of one (because we stayed to watch the second film showing, Hancock).  What's coolest is that we don't have to hire a babysitter because Coleen is asleep in her carseat, sleeping like a log.
