French Lick and Father's Day

Have I told you how much I LOVE weekends!!! Well I do:) Friday we went out to my mom & dad's to get my eyebrows waxed before they came the UNIBROW and we visited with them for awhile before heading home to get the grass spread before the storm came in. And let me tell ya, I was up at 3:45 checking to make sure that storm wasn't going to be more than just a storm...ugh. I thought we were going to end up in the basement.

Anyway, we got up and got ready to head to the wonderful town of French Lick to meet up with some friends (Georgina and her grandson Kody). It was just a day to do about anything, so that is what we did. We meant at West Baden and looked around the hotel and Georgina gave us a tour and told us a couple of interesting facts about the hotel. We tour the gardens, which were very pretty & took some pictures of the kids running around.

Then is was off to lunch at a WONDERFUL resturant, Diary Queen. Have you ate there? You must go, it was very good;) We sat, eat, and talked until everyone was done and ready to go. So, we headed to French Lick Resort & Casino...We were hoping the kids would bring us some luck in the slots, BUT we thought we better wait to teach them the trick until the were older enough to count money, so we opted to tour the hotel, the pool (wish we brought our bathing suits), and the gardens. Took some more pictures and after a time stopping afternoon it was time to call it quits. But I thought I would say that I thought I probably wouldn't see anyone there that I knew, but after walking out of a store, I saw someone very familiar, but thought "Do I know her". Then I hear Matt say "hey"...Yep I did know her, it was a fellow blogger and friend doing the samething we were doing touring the hotel.

After telling our friends bye, we headed to the new hotel to take a quick peak of the waterpark they built. It was neat and Grace can't wait to go there someday. Once we arrived home we headed to the pool to relax and splash around a bit. After supper we headed out for a bicycle ride. We didn't have anything to put Izabelle in except for a toddler backpack, so we are looking for one of those carts that you can hook up to the bike. You wouldn't know of anyone getting rid of theirs do ya???

The day seemed to be a day that the minutes were slowly ticking away and it just lasted as long as we wanted to. By time bed rolled around we were exhausted:)

Today, we missed church (sorry Shawn), we had ALL the intentions of going, but just didn't make it. We headed to Matt's parents to enjoy Father's Day with his dad and have lunch then it was off to my parent's house. My mom bought a kiddie pool last summer to send to Grant in Iraq, but somehow she didn't get it sent, so we opened that baby up, blowed it up, and put water in it (well Grant did all the work...Thanks bubby). The kids LOVED it...Amanda and I sat by the pool and got some sun, it was HOT, but I did get somewhat of a tan. When dad got home from work it was time for some PIZZA and to get cooled off. We had such a wonderful day and weekend...I can't believe the weekend is gone and the work week will be beginning.

Here are some pictures of our weekend:
We HAD to take a picture of this couch in all places the ladies' room @ West Baden. Grace couldn't believe the bathroom was so big and had a couch in it.

My girls Kody & Grace
You can see that Izabelle was pulling them along

Grace pretending to be a princess walking down the stairs...Leaving Prince Charming behind.
Me and kids cooling our feet in the spring...The water was COLD.
I think Daddy took this picture of Grace posing...Watch out Vogue Family picture at French Lick Resort
