Zeke and Zion came to visit Elk for two weeks this June. We were so excited to spend time with them so we decided to dedicate a weekend to them. Friday we packed up and headed to Elk. Isla loves her cousins and they were so excited to see each other. The boys didn't wast any time asking Ian "Sonic" questions and we all caught up while jumping on the trampoline.
On Saturday we wanted to take the boys into town. In a brilliant twist of fate, I found a $20 bill in my jacket pocket! Where do you go when you have an extra $20? Goodwill of course! Ian got some awesome water galoshes, I got some cute new kicks and the kids all picked out a toy. All with some change to spare! After that we headed to the apartment so the boys (and Isla - she loves Sonic too) could have Sonic time. I ran a couple errands. Then we went to Burger King. Oh my it was so delicious. I've been trying to loose weight and I just went for that Burger instead of the Salad and I loved every bit of it. After that we took the kids to the Reptile Store in the mall. They have every kind of scary thing you could think of which I am so desensitized to now because I have a daughter who was born with a love of reptiles. They just come the way they come. The boys loved the store. After that we went to the dollar store so the boys could get their fill of candy and we headed back up to the mountain. That night we watch Mary Poppins at Zekies request! How cool is that! We popped popcorn and cuddled up. I love it that Isla loves that movie. I loved catching up on the movie until I fell asleep which is what I usually say about every movie I attempt to watch after 8pm. We all went to church the next day and came home and had lunch.
Oh my! I forgot about Ian showing me our land that he and Galen had cut out. I couldn't believe how real it felt walking walking up our road and standing where our house will stand.
We had such a great weekend and we love those boys so much!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing, Jamie! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I wish I could randomly find a $20 bill in my pocket...at least 3 times a day. :) I bet those boys had fun with you!
