Super Fun Weekend

I had such a super fun weekend!
My sister, Erin, came over and we had a slumber party on Friday night!
We went out for a MUCH NEEDED girls night, to celebrate Julia's 30th B-Day!  I had Thai food for the first time and it was pretty scrumptious! 
 I'd like to give kudos to our waiter, Nick.  He ordered us a special Thai dish that wasn't even on the menu, that ended up being my favorite dish that night.  Then he sang a beautiful rendition of Happy Birthday to the birthday girl.  I'm pretty sure he wasn't annoyed with the group of loud, crazy women he had to wait on at all ;)
The best part was Erin and I staying up until 2:30 in the morning talking and laughing together.  I couldn't tell you anything we talked about, but I do remember that EVERYTHING seemed EXTREMELY funny!  Thanks for the laughs little sis!
(side note: Aaron was on shift, so it wasn't weird with Erin sleeping in my bed or anything :)
Then, Saturday morning started out with a super cute new hair do!
Thanks aunt Erin!!!  
After breakfast and some non frustrating preparations, you know, because we have totally cooperative children that listen to everything we tell them to do and always obey, we headed off to the zoo.
So much fun!  We rode our bikes around the zoo.  That is seriously the only way to go.  It was awesome!
Here's Ava and Gracie figuring out the best path to take on the map.  They did a great job navigating :)
Here's Dax doing his favorite thing with Ava.  
Repeatedly putting his finger in her mouth.  Ava, being the good friend she is, keeps helping him out by opening her mouth for him to put his finger in.  What great friends!
(this is going to look so cute in their wedding video someday :)
Dad and Logan taking a breather.  They had a hard time keeping up with me :)
Since Saturday was also my free day, we finished the day off with Barros Pizza and then Katie took us to this wonderful place called, Bahama Bucks.  I had a strawberry colada snow cone with tropic creme mixed in and it was DELISH!!!  Thanks Katie for adding another sweet treat for me to add to my cravings list.
Sunday morning we woke up to this beautiful t.p. job, someone young, in our ward, of the female gender, around 13 years old or so, that had a little tp party last night and then bragged about it, left for us.  All I can say is payback is coming, and me and my home girls will definitely be schooling some young ones on the proper way to tp :)  Hee hee, can't wait!
Well, it was a super fun, super full weekend.  Thanks Erin for the fun sleep over!  Can't wait for the next time Steve goes snow boarding without you :)

It was so fun staying up till 2:30 in the morning talking and laughing... not so fun the next day when I was completely and utterly EXHAUSTED AND CRANKY! ha ha! We need to do more girls weekends! I am just loving the way you styled Gracie's hair with the flower! She is one cute chick! Thanks for the awesome weekend! :)

It was a super fun weekend thanks again for including me!!! Oh..and you WON'T be leaving me out of the tp party...can't wait!!!!

Looks like a fun family ride. Do you live out by the Zoo now, or did you just take a 30k bikeride?

I had never been to Bahama Bucks til last week. Spencer took me there and it was AWESOME. Had the Grape with the Bahama Rama Mama icecream. Too bad it is on the other side of town from us.

The TP job is definitely a rookie job. Looks like someone needs a quick course in TP101.

You did have a fun weekend...one of my favorite things is staying up late and laughing so hard at nothing, it's like great therapy!

I loved Gracie's hair at church on Sunday with her Yellow dress. She and BEn looked cute walking around with his blue and yellow tie matching so well. I am so glad you mentioned my birthday again and I hope you were able to explain to Erin all about the Jet Skis' during your late night girls talk.

The whole zoo thing looked okay too.

Yep, sounds like a fun weekend. Sisters are great, aren't they! I can remember having a lot of fun with my sisters too and yep Gracie's hair is soooo cute!

Kristie said...

Adorable hair do Gracie. Hey, why wasn't I invited to the zoo? Boo hoo, (I made a rhyme - hehehe).

The Pritchard Party said...

That DOES sound fun. I know what you mean about talking late at night too. I'll talk with my girlfriends and Ryan will ask me what we talked about. I always say "uh.... I don't really know actually." I think he thinks I'm lying, but I'm not! :)
