The good life :)

       Well this past weekend we had the opportunity to have a Stay-Cation with some of our friends we haven't seen in a while. We started early Friday morning with some fun and adventures paint balling and getting pedicures. Followed by some shopping for the girls and showers for the boys! Lunch was Zupas, followed by a bust of a time at Trafalga (note to self, don't go in the afternoon.. WAY too many people!!). After a quick-ish game of mini-golf we went back to our house and played some games and just talked before heading out to Tempanyaki for dinner. I love the experience of Tempanyaki, but I don't think I would go again, unless I was taking someone from out of town there. It was a lot of fun to watch the chef cook out food and talk with us and attempt at getting us to catch the shrimp (or chicken in my case).  All in all I think the boys were better at catching the food then they girls were! Friday night we came back and talked some more. Saturday morning we had a blast at 7 Peaks! It was so fun to be able to go on rides and not have to stand in long lines! I'm all for going at 9:30 and leaving at 11 when it starts to get overly crowded. For lunch we did Tacanos and loved the new meats and the addition of BBQ sauce on the tables. So worth going back for lunch! Lunch was followed by a few games of bowling (That I did TERRIBLE at (78 was my best game) and Matt did AMAZING at! 167 a new high for him!). Then we were back to hanging out before going to see IRON MAN 3. Personally I liked it, but I wouldn't go see it again. After that we had games/ice cream and then all the ladies went home to bed/kids and the boys stayed up until 2:30ish playing games! It was hilarious and uber loud to hear them all acting like high school students again. It was funny hearing them talk about who was winning what and who was causing all the problems. 

     
     All in all I would love to do it again and I'm so grateful for all of our amazing friends and for our amazing babysitters (Thank you Megan, Grandma, Grandpa, Jules and Emmy!!!) who made all of it possible! I think the next stay-cation will be a lot of fun and I look forward to it! Hopefully the kids will all be a little older and we'll be able to do more kid friendly activities.
