Our best friends from Utah came up to visit us and see our new house. We haven't seen them since I had Austin (almost 2 years). So it was so great to get together and catch up. They came late Friday night, after their oldest daughter was done with school. And then they stayed until around noon on Tuesday. So sad to see them go, but it was so wonderful to see them and enjoy in their company.
We went to Casa Bonita on Saturday night. The travel guide made it sound ver family oriented/fun filled. There was cliff diving, arcades, and a Mariachi band (we got seated right behind them (it was so loud). The food was alright, so I guess it was more for the atmosphere that people like to come here. We might try it again when the kids are much older. :) But a interesting little tidbit~ it is the largest restaurant in the US and the second largest in the world. Which you wouldn't guess that looking from the outside. It is in the corner of a strip mall.
Austin & Chloe playing on a arcade game where you squish the spiders. Their favorite game. With all the tickets that all of us won. The kids each got a plastic whistle. Mysteriously, they disappeared the next day. Hmm. (Very high pitched and loud).
The next day, all of us went to Shawn's office to give the Webbs' eye exams. So to coax the kids into behaving we promised them we would go to the zoo after. Well we made it though the exams. And the weather was perfect for the zoo, and hardly anyone was there. It was a real treat and pretty scary, when we went to the lion enclosure, one of them decided to come and say hello. You forget how large these animals are, until you are standing next to one.
Alex and Ashlynn looking at the baby giraffe. He was born in June (I think). And he was like 6 foot already and 150+ lbs. Ugh! After we were done at the zoo, we went to PF Changs (my family's first time). Poor Austin had not gotten a nap all day and was beyond himself. Just crying "No Mama No". No matter what I did or asked. He would say the same thing. Sigh. Finally I was able to reason with him enough to not get ugly looks from the people sitting next to us.
