From the minute that Trevor figured out we could 'easily' drive to Nana and Papa Steve's he has had his heart set on special time with them - in his words, no Mommy and Daddy, just him and Ashley at Nana and Papa's. Mommy liked the idea - she remembers spending special time with her Grandmas when she was growing up. So on Thursday July 20, we decided to drive to St. Louis so we could meet Nana and Papa and see Uncle Francis and Aunt Faye. We went to Golden Corral for dinner which might be the kids new favorite restaurant given that they have cotton candy!
After spending the night in a hotel we enjoyed breakfast with Uncle Francis and Aunt Faye where they spoiled the kids with stuffed animals and sent Sara home with yummy Casa Gallardo salsa and tortilla chips!!
So good to see them!!!!
It was at that point that Mommy headed back to Arkansas and the kids special time with Nana and Papa started. Nothing like an 8 hour car ride to kick that off :) The next day Nana and Papa met Uncle Jim, Sam and Elena at Como Park!!!
After that they stuck around Owatonna and did all of their favorite things!!!!
Slime!! All the rage right now!
Facetiming! Missing those buggars! Plus had to show them that a cat kept visiting our back patio!
So what did Mommy and Daddy do while the kids were in MN? We had a picnic outside the AMP and listened to some country music!
We went to Walmart's Saturday morning meeting then headed out furniture shopping!
Found the perfect piece for under the stairs to fill the space but still make it feel open!
We had a double date night with friends!
We chilled by our club pool, what a treat!! And hit up our favorite winery!
We sent this picture to the kids and they wondered why we went without them!! LOL
Mommy also got the blog caught up so that it was now only a year behind!!! YAY And before you knew it, it was our turn to head to MN and be reunited!! Couldn't wait!!!
