We had some very special friends come visit us from San Francisco a few weeks ago. Laura, one of my closest friends since the age of 5, her 21 month old son, Tucker and Laura's mom, Gigi Jeanne. They spent a long weekend with us and we had a great time!
The boys spent lots of time playing outside enjoying the cool air and mud on the ground! They even had a little lunch date on the outside picnic table.
We all took a trip to Grapevine Mills Mall to do a little shopping, ride the merry-go-round and have lunch at The Rainforest Cafe. Poor little Tucker has never seen a mall or anything like Rainforest Cafe since they don't frequent these types of places living outside of San Fran! His eyes were pretty big :-)
Susan Horneik, a long time friend of ours, hosted a little get together so everyone could see Laura and Jeanne and meet Tucker. The kids had a great time running around the house and playing with one another while the adults had themselves a little chat. Brooks took a fondness to the big bear rug in the den!
Laura and I needed a little break to do some shopping and other things we don't have time to get done, so Nana and Gigi offered to watch the boys for a few hours - YAY! They took them on a walk from my mom's house to the shopping center behind her home. They played in the fountains and spent lots of time in Barnes and Noble reading books and playing with the train set. Laura and I met them over there after a while and unfortunately had to watch the boys cry and we pulled them away from the trains and told them it was time to leave. Mommies are just not as much fun as Nana and Gigi!!!
After a fun-filled weekend it was so sad to see our friends leave. The boys got along wonderfully and mom and I had a great time catching up with our friends. I wish so badly they lived closer so we could spend more time together and so our boys could grow up as close as we did. We are looking at planning a trip out to Cali by next summer - what fun!!!!
