Arends Are in the House

The Arends clan came down for a visit this past weekend!! They arrived Friday night and we just got some Wendy’s takeout to eat.

Saturday morning it was time for the pool – I think Noah loved swimming with the kids. I guess it is a little nicer than our little kiddie pool we have in the back yard for him! Rick put Brian to work and had him help take out the motor in the Nova. I think Rick picked one of the hottest days to do it! Sorry Brian, but thank s for helping!!!! Then it was time for lunch! We headed to Pizza Street – a pizza/pasta/ice cream buffet – yeah, I think we were all stuffed when we left! We thought it would be fun to go to Power Play – it’s like Chuck E Cheese on steroids! We’ve actually only been there one time before, but we though the kids would LOVE it (and of course Rick too!). Well, we got there and it was closed for a private party, so that was a bummer. But we headed back home and the Arends kids went swimming and the Nielsen kids took a nap. We grilled steaks and potatoes for dinner.

Sunday morning we went to a breakfast buffet. The kids sat at one table and the adults at another. I think Noah has a little crush on Kenna (the middle child)! Rick got a plate of food for Noah and he was sitting at the table, just waiting for Kenna to come back. As soon as she did, Noah patted the seat next to him and got all giddy when she sat down! So cute!!

The weekend went way to fast and having two little kids, kind of dampers what we could do. Plus it was so hot outside that we really didn’t want to be outside, unless it was at the pool!! But we had a great time with some great friends! Thanks for coming to visit Brian, Pam, Kaley, McKenna and Connor!!
