we love visitors

This past weekend we were lucky to have more out of town guests come stay with us.  Erin, Chris, and Lucas came to spend the weekend with us.  Originally, we had planned to go to Chicago for the weekend, but decided that might not be the best idea - too cold, Erin was very pregnant, and I wasn't sure the kids wouldn't have just as much fun at our house!

We met for dinner on Friday night.  It seems we have 2 go to places in Lafayette.  For a nice dinner, we go to Mountain Jacks.  They have some of the best steaks around.  For a dive, we go to XXX Burger (side note, we went to both).  After dinner, Kaylea wanted to take Lucas to jump on the trampoline at the mall.  We had been talking about going earlier in the week.  Erin didn't think that Lucas would do it, but he did.  Jordy was trying to get Kaylea to flip, and I must tell you, this was one nervous mama, because she was trying to!  If she could have put it all together, she would have flipped.

Kaylea insisted on Lucas taking a bath with her - I never dreamed I would be dealing with those issues this early ;)

Saturday we went to Jump It.  The kids had a blast - I think Lucas could have jumped all day.  Kaylea ate corn dog (one of the many new foods she has been willing to try lately) and was pretty much done after that.

We came back to the house and all got in a good nap.  Erin & I went to the local candy store.  It is one of the oldest operating soda fountains in Indiana.  The cokes (diet and regular) are beyond amazing!  We picked up XXX burger before heading to the mall to let the kids jump again.

I was worn out this weekend - I don't know what it was.  Jordy and I were able to take a nap everyday, but I was ready for bed by 10:00!  Erin, Chris, and Lucas hung out with Kaylea Sunday morning before they left and let us workout.  I cannot tell you how much we appreciated this.  Getting a workout in on the weekend allows us to sleep in one day during the week.

It is always awesome to have friendly faces in Lafayette - we had a great time and can't wait to do it again!

Great post! We had so much fun! I really enjoyed every minute. We miss having you guys around. We will definatly visit again and bring Tyler. I think Kaylea really brought out Lucas' adventurous side. He needs that with an overprotective mama.
