Jam Packed

WOW--we can totally tell summer is quickly on its way out. Why? We had to squeeze in so much stuff into one weekend.

I took the girls to the pool on Friday night (I originally thought they were open til 7). After driving through construction, we arrived around 4:15 to find out they were only open until 5 =(. Well, after driving all the way there and considering the pool was closing Saturday, the girls still wanted to go. Luckily, we saw some friends there and made the best of the 45 minutes at the pool. Afterward, we hit up McD's for some dinner. While in McD's, I could see this place that looked like a mini-golf place. It turns out that it is an ice cream shop and mini-golf. They serve soft serve AND hand dipped. They had 28 wonderful flavors of dipped. IT was awesome and pretty reasonable as well.

Saturday morning came early after staying up late on Friday night. We got up early to hit a few garage sales. We went to the grocery store and then got ready to go to Aliyah's 1st/2nd grade swim party. It was a blast and perfect swim weather. We basked in the sun and cooled off while she swam around like a fish.
We went straight from there to the other pool that we love to visit as it was the last day of the season. This has to last us until the end of next May when they open again. It's always bittersweet. We had a blast and stayed until about 10 minutes before they closed. Aliyah saw some pink goggles which we purchased. She informed us that it was like a whole new world in the big pool.
From there, we changed and headed to dinner. We ventured out to a different restaurant for us--The Flat Top Grill. It was awesome!! I love it when we find new places that we like.
We came home and got things together for Aliyah's party. She was excited in true form!

Sunday morning came early as well since we still needed to get stuff ready. We went to church and then immediately following we went to a picnic with our class. Just as everyone sat down to eat all of the wonderful food, the wind picked up and the rain started. It was a total washout! We finished eating, sat around for a bit and then headed home. Once we got home, we got ready for Aliyah's party. She was so excited. She loved everything that she received and was very excited to eat cupcakes--she had 2!!
We went to dinner with Josh's family. Yes, we went back to Flat Top Grill. It was great once again. Thanks for making the trip to be here for Aliyah's party!!
It is Sunday night and I am thinking that I need to get some laundry started. Nevermind...it will still be here tomorrow I am sure of that.
