Weekend trip

This past weekend we spent with my parents. We did some of our usual fun things. The boys always enjoy going to the park to play. Mom and I walked down to the park with the boys while Dad and Chad were golfing. This time there were a few other children there, children of my old high school classmates. It was neat seeing Andrew interact with these children.

Another fun thing the boys enjoy is swimming in my parents' pool. What was exciting this time is Andrew was able to walk in the shallow end on his tiptoes with his mouth above water! I thought he was going through a growth spurt (clothes getting tighter or no longer fitting and weighing in at 40#!!) so being able to walk in the pool was proof that he indeed is getting taller.

Saturday night we asked Mom and Dad to watch the boys so Chad and I could have a night out. Of course they were pleased to do this for us. Chad and I spent the night in Toledo. We went out to eat at J. Alexanders (you must order an Alex salad with your meal! wonderful!) Then we did a lot of shopping/looking at the mall. How nice to enjoy each other's company without worry about what one of the boys was doing. How nice to also be able to shop and look as long as we wanted!!

Grandma & Grandpa took the boys to McDonalds (they thought about going to the fair but it looked like it might rain) Then they went to another park. Grandma says "Carson isn't afraid of anything!!" The boys were both in bed asleep when Chad & I got back. I think it is fare to say that all six of us had a great night! Thanks for watching the boys so we could have so time away.
