The weekend started off on Friday night with the entire family unit going to the Frisco RoughRiders baseball game. We purchased the tickets about a month ago, and went to the game with 4 of Aidan's teammates and their families. We sat down the left field line, and it was a beautiful night for baseball. It just doesn't get much better than spending an evening at the ballpark with your family. We all had a great time, but we ended up leaving during the 7th inning due to one really tired 2 1/2 year old monkey. Still, good times.....good times.
Saturday morning arrived with just as much anticipation as Friday night. Saturday with no baseball game could mean only one thing........A TRIP TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE! Yep, after Lori finished torturing herself with her running group bright and early Saturday morning, we sat out for Grandma's house about 10:00am. We arrived about 2 1/2 hours later, after one stop for a bathroom break and happy meals for the boys.
I was really nice seeing Mom/Grandma again. It had been too long, and big hugs were distributed accordingly. Just as I started unpacking the CX-9, Uncle Jim arrived. It was nice to see my brother, and the boys were really happy their "playmate" showed up. We spent most of the day playing in the backyard and the time we spent in the house, we were watching Golf on TV. Aidan and Christopher made the most of the POGO swing.
Boy, this is fun!
Oh, that's why they call it a POGO swing.
Ahhh....nothing like a refreshing treat after such hard work.
Hey...where's my treat?
Saturday night we all gathered around the TV, and watched a new blue ray movie that we brought down with us. The Fantastic Mr. Fox. It was a really cute, funny movie that we all enjoyed. After the movie Christopher went to bed, and Aidan, Lori, Jim and I settled in for a few heated games of UNO. We all had a lot of fun, and after Grandma and Aidan and Lori went to bed, Jim and I stayed up and watched Terminator Salvation. It was quite the contrast to the movie we watched earlier.
Sunday was spent watching the final round of the Masters, and playing with the kids outside. Aidan and I squeezed in a fun little trip around town in Grandma's convertible. I always have to get my sports car fix while I am at her house. It never fails to bring a smile to my face, and our oldest monkey just loves riding with the top down.
After eating some dinner and saying our goodbyes, we sat out for home about 7:15pm. We arrived about 2 1/2 hours later, with the boys already sleeping, and Lori was drifting in and out. After putting the kids to bed, and did not take long for Lori and I to follow. Having fun sure does take it out of you.
It was a great trip.....too short as usual, but we all had a fantastic time. Thanks Mom for being such a great host, and thanks Jim for being such a cool Uncle to the boys.
