I will do that. I'll also check to make sure it's okay to bring your sister. I know they won't mind. They look up to her a lot and I know my mom thinks she's a good influence on them. It shouldn't be a big deal. Maybe I'll just ask my mom so we can surprise them? I think they'd like that. As for pears, they are okay sometimes. They can get to slimy depending on how they are prepared. I like them just a bit softer, but still with some crunch.
