Thanks for posting pictures of Timothy, Glynis! I hope he doesn't have a reaction of any of his shots today.
Elin, great trip report. Thanks for sharing with us!
If you all could spare somefor Julie. Jack has to have a cat-scan on Thursday. He's 9-months-old now, and the doctors are worried there might be some fluid in his brain, since his head is measuring a bit large and he's not sitting up yet. Hopefully, it's nothing a little occupational therapy can't take care of, but they want to be sure. As you can imagine, the anticipation has Julie pretty anxious. Thanks!
My SIL passes off the resort booking to me
She had a weight watchers meeting. We are booked for June 21 - 27 at Point Sebago and it is at last years rate for at total of $340 for the whole week for up to 6 people per camper. That means the boys can bring friends as my parent's are taking their camper too. That includes childcare and most activities. So that is one thing off my mind for now.I need to head out the door this minute for work though. TTYL

glad that his appt. went well.
We were going to Boma for breakfast this morning at 10:00. Bob and I were up early but the girls are slug-a-beds. I went and got us coffee and by the time I got back they were up and taking showers.
We also ordered the Spiced Briouats and the Taste of Africa to share. When our server came back Kathrin asked what the vegetable of the moment was and was told (and I kid you not
) It changes every day. We never know. Ummmm
it was 8:00 on Christmas night
. I would think she should have known what the vegetable was by then! But, it took two trips to the table and two follow-up requests for the status of the vegetable (it was Brussels Sprouts 
). So that let Kathrin know what she wanted for dinner the shrimp special. Kristin chose the Nantucket Scallops. Bob asked for the Kenyan Coffee BBQ Beef Short Ribs and I ordered their signature Filet. Our server didnt even come back to tell us the news; she left it to another server to let us know that they were out of short ribs AND the filet. By 8:00. On Christmas night. Two entrees they are known for. The one reason Bob couldnt wait to return. 
I think if it had been any other night he would have asked if we could leave. He was upset. But we knew there would be no other place to get seated this late on Christmas night. He finally settled on the chicken and I ordered the appetizer mussels and the Cheese Plate. Kristin loved her scallops. Kathrin said her shrimp was good. Bobs chicken was OK. My mussels were full of grit! I am not a complainer when we are out. I figure than any restaurant on any given night can make a mistake. But, especially because we spent over $250.00 that night, the service and the food at Jiko were unacceptable. We didnt even bother to order dessert. They probably wouldnt have had any left anyway. I was very glad that this was the only restaurant all week that refused to accept our Tables in Wonderland card (their choice
it was Christmas). That meant no automatic 18% gratuity!! I left a 15% tip. I usually tip 20% or more. Our server, who will remain nameless, was atrocious. She left us sitting without attention for 15 minutes at a time. We had to ask twice for our bill. And they were not busy. There were lots of empty tables. It will be a while before we go back. 
for Julie.
