Chris and Megan come for a VISIT!

Last week we were so lucky to have my nephew Chris and his cute family come visit us. We love to have visitors!!!! They drove from Farmington and spent the whole week with us! I loved it because that meant fun for me all week long! :) Basically that meant shopping, playing, eating, and more shopping. Chris and Megan recently bought a house, so they were on the hunt for some home decor stuff and I was happy to tag along. There aren't a lot of shopping possibility's in Farmington, so she also wanted to shop for clothes. Again, I was happy to tag along. We hit the outlet mall first. Made a trip to the regular mall, Sam Moon's, Kirklands, and Charming Charlies! I felt bad because last week was super rainy, but that didn't seem to stop us. Rick and Chris even managed to fit in a golf game. Chase and Cody were excited to show off their athletic skills to Chris and Megan, but because of the rain all 3 baseball games were cancelled and Cody's soccer game was cancelled!
So to get the kids out and running around, we decided to take the kids to the zone so they could play, eat, and jump on the bounce houses....I'm not sure who had more fun....the kids or the adults. I was so sure Rick was going to tip over the huge slide, and was a little nervous of coming out alive in the obstacle course. (yes, Megan you beat me!!! I admit it....I'm totally out of shape!)We had so much fun sliding down the slide, running down the slide, and doing flips down the slide.....Megan and Jordan win for the most "burns". Rick and Chris win for "pegging the ball the hardest", and Chase wins for the craziest hair!! The kids also got a few tokens to play games...Kennedy was so funny playing ski ball....she decided it wasn't worth it to roll the ball, but rather just walk up and put the ball in the circle.
Friday night, we figured we needed a date night....so we left Jordan home with the kids and headed out for a night on the town. We wanted to see the movie "Couples Retreat", so we headed to the Studio Movie Grill. What an awesome place. You get to sit in nice comfy leather seats, order your dinner and watch the movie! It was awesome! Then we took Chris and Megan to play whirlyball with some friends.I love whirlyball...even though you get totally bruised up...it is worth it! We had a great time....Megan and Chris fit right in! Throwing, crashing, bashing, yelling......all the must do's in order to play the game! And we loved every minute of it!! I also managed to talk the guys into letting us play lazer tag for FREE!! WAHOO! So we strapped on our guns and headed to the "lazer tag arena!" We didn't find out our score, but I'm sure the girls beat the boys!:) It was a great night!
Saturday was another fun day!!! Chris and Megans one year anniversary was
October 11th, so they spent the day together shopping and went downtown McKinney to a great restaurant! They found some great things for the house!!! Happy One Year guys!! Thanks for spending it with us!!! Since the weather was nice and cool with no rain outside, we couldn't help but start up the chimnea!!! Our favorite thing to do when the weather gets cool....make smores and have hot chocolate! (and yes, the girls got their groove on!) Bring it on Chris!!!Rick and Cody getting the fire started!Me and my man enjoying the fire!!Paige getting her marshmellow nice and warm!Kennedy was so fun....the kids loved playing with her and chasing her around the house! Paige loved to make her laugh, Cody loved "teasing" her and Chase was nick named...."that boy!"Cody got a hold of the whipping cream and decided to be "rudolph" for the night!We had such a great week....thanks Chris and Megan for coming and visiting. We had so much fun with you!
