Family Day

October 10th, 2008 by melissa

Today didn’t start out as planned but it turned out to be a great day. I was supposed to go visit Neyha, Krish, and Isha. Unfortunately her kiddos got sick so we were on our home. We dropped daddy off at light rail and came back to the hotel for breakfast. On the way back at a red light a motorcycle cop knocks on the passenger window. I got caught on a cell phone. I was as nice as can be and still got a ticket. Luckily it is just a fine and not a moving violation but still. We had breakfast. We came up to the room to get ready for our day. The kiddos found the remote for the TV so I let them watch Clifford for a bit. Bret called and said he would be out of training early. We went and hung out at The Great Mall. Not a very exciting place but passed the time. The kids got to ride on little ride on toys and just run around.

We did a little shopping and waited for daddy. We went into Dave and Busters so the kiddos could pretend to play games.The kids loved stomping on the lights and Nicole couldn’t keep her hands off Nicole.

Finally dad came and we had a late lunch. We did a little more walking around then came back to the hotel room for a bit. We were just letting the kids run around the hotel-the hotel is a big square so we sat by our room while the kiddos ran around. They loved running to the ice machine. I gave the kiddos a bath and daddy took a nap. We went to Valley Fair and met Arthur there. The kiddos played in the play area for a bit but it was crowded. Justin wanted to ride on all the ride on toys. We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. I got the fudge brownie cheesecake, oh my god that thing was so good. We just walked around the mall for a bit then needed to get back to the hotel for sleepy time. Justin and Nicole warmed right up to Arthur. It was nice to catch up with Artie. Kiddos were as hyper as can be again when we got back to our hotel room. They love the chair for some reason, climbing on it, jumping on it, jumping off of it, etc. Kiddos are sleeping and we are packing up to leave tomorrow. It was a great trip. I am kinda sad to see it end.
