I love long weekends! Everything is so much more fun with Jeff around (not to mention easier!). We had a fabulous weekend and I’m so very sad it is over.
Jeff took Friday off to make the long weekend even longer! Yippee!! We took the babies to a new place in town called Child’s Play. It is an indoor playground for kids and the photos looked awesome. While it was fun and a way to get out of the heat it was much smaller than I thought it would be. They had two slide play structured things, a really little area for the little kids (that my big kids wanted to play in) and a lounge area where parents could get coffee and sit and read all the while NOT watching their children. You can buy a monthly membership for $30 which is affordable so we may end up doing that for the hottest part of the summer when outdoor play isn’t an option.
Friday night we had movie night and watched Bolt. How are all children’s animated movies so good!?! We all loved the movie - popcorn - and candy. The babies made it through 45 minutes which is quite impressive considering their attention spans aren’t all that long yet.
Saturday morning we ventured to the other side of town and took the babies to the Lied Discover Children’s Museum. I will write another post about it with lots of photos. We LOVED it and bought a yearly membership!!
Saturday night I had a maternity photo session that was awesome and a nice little break away. Sunday morning Jeff took the babies grocery shopping while I stayed home and cleaned. Our house was in sad shape and in need of a much needed *baby free* cleaning! Sunday night Auntie Krista came over to watch the kiddos while Jeff and I went on a date! Who0t!! We went to see Star Trek which was really REALLY good. I think I may have a new movie boyfriend. =) We got takeout PF Changs - came home in time to put the babies to bed and watched Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back while stuffing our faces. YUM!
Monday we took the babies to the water park and spent the morning getting soaked with FREEZING COLD WATER. Kids don’t seem to mind the cold, but all the parents where shivering (me included!).
We ended the weekend with a nice long bath with our new Curious George bubbles and a trip to Grandma’s and Grandpa’s to visit Cousin Haylee.
Ahhhhh long weekends are wonderful. Ending them sucks!

Wow, I get tired reading all the activities
I love the last pic of the water park that shows the dessert……hard for me to believe when I live in flat lower Michigan!!! Don’t get me wrong, Michigan has beauty but it certainly isn’t in the southern part!! I wouldn’t know what to do with that heat but then I see you have great indoor activities!! Your kids are beautiful.
