Stay-cation--ish

Last Friday my friend Christa invited us to go to the Days of '47 Rodeo.  It was so fun.  I haven't been to that rodeo ever and I couldn't believe how fun it was.

 Me and Christa.  It was fun watching the rodeo...and visiting:)

Whenever my friend Adrienne comes to town we always try to do fun things with our kids.  Of course just playing together all day is fun for them...but being 'parents of the year' we decided to do a few extra fun things.
I'm glad we took pics, because then we can have proof of the fun things we do with our kids for those days when they complain about how boring their life is.


The first place her kids wanted to go was Del Taco...so that's where we went.  (I like that they love such a cheap restaurant.)

 Then it was home to play for a little bit.  (I love that they all loved to play with Locklyn)

 

This is a pretty perfect example of some of the things Adrienne and I did...along with retail therapy of course.

I talked Adrienne into going on a quick ride on the tandem bike.  I think she liked it:)

The next day was our neighbor (and Boston's 'girlfriend) birthday party.  It was such a cute party.  Christa bought all the kids hats and scarves. And my kids are still wearing them.

 They got stickers and tattoos.

 And they even got to go on a pony ride.

 ....and a donkey ride.

 Boston and Lana

 All of the food was pink...from pink sugar cookies to pink cotton candy.

 Then on Monday we took the kids to Seven Peaks.  They had a blast and didn't want to leave.

 The kids had so much fun we didn't really ever see them.  They kept going from ride to ride.

 Then later that night we took them to Classic Skating.  They got to do everything from Bouncy houses to skating and even Laser tag.

 Locklyn was a trooper the whole trip.  She was so good to just hang out.

 Although by their faces it doesn't look like they are having fun...they really are...they were just mad I made them stop jumping for a quick picture.

Adrienne wanted to go to Chick-fil-a for her last meal here...afterwards we took the kids to Marble Slab for some ice cream.  AND BOSTON PULLED ANOTHER TOOTH!

 Ian (Adrienne's husband) lost his best friend Jason last year.  He was a Navy SEAL and left behind a wife and 2 yr old son.  His wife Stacey designed these shirts and is selling them on her website.  Adrienne bought one for each of us.  I can't imagine what his wife has been going through for the last year.  I think it is such a cool idea to have these shirts to keep his memory alive.

And one last pic before she had to leave :(
