Annual girls weekend and the boys!

***Sorry for the delay. This actually took place a couple weeks ago. I have been slow to get these photos downloaded.
Disclaimer: for all of our friends that live in the city that we visited. I don't want you to think that we ignored you...we planned this trip last minute and wanted to cram as much stuff as possible into our weekend trip.


Every year since I was a small child my mom has taken my sister and I for a girls shopping trip to a city near by. We would leave dad at home for the weekend, book a couple nights in a hotel, and just do girls things. We hit all our favorite restaurants, special local stores, the malls, and the hot tub in the hotel. Ever since the boys have arrived we have included them in the trip. We have a lot of fun together and the boys seem to enjoy it too. This year we went up on Friday and returned on a Sunday. The boys loved using their sleeping bags in the hotel, loved spending time with each other, and enjoyed all the extra activities we did with them. This is an annual tradition that I do not want to miss.

Girls shopping weekend

On our way home we stopped at Ruey & Freddy's to celebrate Freddy, Uncle Mike, Aunt Kelli, Uncle Matt, and Zachary's birthdays. Ruey pulled out a wooden toy train from around 1980 for the boys to play with. They loved it and it occupied them for hours. As you can see from our photos...we had a great weekend.
