Shopping and Kites

Friday, August 21.

Today we went shopping. Serious shopping. At TJMaxx and Marshalls and Loft.
They have an ice-scating-rink inside the Sopping center. Alex thinks thats crazy.
We had a small lunch in between stores. Alex: Calamari. Abuela: Asian Lettuce Wraps. Fritzi: Crab & Shrimp Cakes.
Afterwards we went back home and dropped everything off. Then we looked up a kite shop and called them to find out if they might have a kite to suit Alex's taste. It sounded like they might, so we drove there.
At the kite shop it was a bit difficult because they had really big kites (for kite surfing) and little tiny kid's kites. Alex bought a 2sqm kite for 140 Dollars(!) and Fritzi bought a kiddie kite for 6 Dollars.
We headed for the beach where we flew our new kites. Lots of fun. But no camera. Fortunately a kind passer-by asked to try Alex's kite and afterwards took some pictures (they'll be uploaded later).
When it started getting dark we drove back home, had a shower, and headed for E&E where Alex had the Mixed Grill and Fritzi had the grilled Grouper.
