No! Not Foot Juice!

We had a great weekend.

On Saturday we rewarded the girls for their good grades. We had a family date and it was so cool! We started out at Sweet Tomatoes - YUM! You should see Danny put away the mushrooms! It's not natural! The kids all looked so nice in their "date" clothes. The boys (including Der) were in button down shirts and slacks, and the girls were in slacks and dresses. It was so fun. The kids enjoyed their dinner except for the part when a man behind us had his shoes off under the table and was grossing Brady out!

After dinner we headed downtown. We parked next to Capitol Theatre and picked up our tickets. We had an hour to kill so we walked down to the Gallivan Center and looked around. You should see the city through the eyes of 6 and 9 year olds! It was so fun. They ooohed and aaahed about the tall buildings, TRAX, the ice rink, Channel 2, and the many cool sculptures on the sidewalks.

As curtain call neared we headed back to Capitol Theatre and watched the production Circle Cycle.

"With hula hoops, volleyballs, balloons, and ping pong balls, you just can't help but feel like a kid again. CIRCLE CYCLE literally revolves around anything round! Life is not only full of circles but cycles . . . endless cycles of life. Beginnings becoming endings, endings becoming beginnings. Imagine looking at the world through a child's eyes."

It was very cool. After the show we asked the kids if they liked it and Brady pipes up and says, "It was really cool except c'mon? Bare feet? Gross!" This kid hates feet!! The dancers all were bare foot. Several years ago at swimming lessons a child's foot grazed his cheek and he nearly started to cry because they got foot juice on him!

After the show we headed back down south for some delicious Cold Stone Ice Cream (Merry Christmas to us from Gavin and Kimberly!) The kids (the boys) couldn't believe we were actually in a real ice cream parlor and they loved creating the perfect bowl of ice cream.

It was a wonderful night.

Sunday we got to spend the afternoon and evening with the Angie and Boyd and their family. Our kids haven't seen each other since Logan's baptism over two years ago. They were all so excited to be together. They had a ball and so did we! Love you guys!
