So we took off on Friday around noon and left town to head to Cedar Rapids to see Chris' sister and her family!! The kids got to PLAY with their cousins...it was sooo much fun, they were so excited to see them, so it was great to be able to play and enjoy some time with them!!
When we got there on Friday, we got settled in and the kids played in the backyard for a while, then we ate, and THEN we went to their pool that they belong too!!! SOOO much fun, they have a great "baby" area, so the kids got to jump in and play in that area for at least a good hour or soooo...boy were they exhausted...then it was back to the house for some ICE CREAM!!! Aunt Kathy doesn't spoil her neice and nephews at ALL!!:) anyway...then it was definitly time for bed...after a good nights sleep, it was time to play as hard as possible again in the morning...after a fabulous breakfast, the kids got to play and goof around...both inside and out, they couldn't make up their minds...anyway ya look at it, it was tons of fun...then after a great lunch, the kiddos hopped in the bathtub with Nick and got cleaned up for the wedding that we were going to be on the way too....
It was such a "short" visit, but we packed it full of fun...The kids can't wait to come again and see their cousins...hopefully soon!!!!
Then it was time to say our goodbyes, and it was off to Cedar Falls/Waterloo for my cousin Cara's wedding to Seth Johnson!! we got all checked into the hotel and Chris and I got freshened up...then it was on to find the ceremony sight...it was a great ceremony...and then it was time to PARTY!! the reception was right across the street from our hotel, so it was very nice...we partied until we couldn't party anymore! HA:) actually until the kiddos fell asleep on Grandpa and Grandma... It was great to see lots of family that we haven't seen for a while and get to dance and just have fun...
On Sunday, we had the breakfast at the hotel, and then we called up my cousin Jim and his wife Mandy who live right their in Cedar Falls...we had visited with them at the reception and decided to let our kids play with their 2 adorable little girls...so we went over to their house, where the kids played and played with Ava and Addy...then we BBQ'ed for lunch and headed home....Thanks for having us over guys:) it was great to see you all!!! The kids were asleep before we had even gone like 2 blocks!!! VERY NICE!!!
We had a great, fun, exhausting weekend...of course they always go way too fast when you are having fun like that, but it was well worth the trip!!! We are glad for everyone that we got to see that we don't see that often and we hope to get together with you again soon!!!
CONGRATULATIONS CARA AND SETH JOHNSON!!! Enjoy your married life together:)
