So we had a rare weekend of nothing planned and a break from wrestling too. Friday we took all the kids to Friday Night at the movies at St. Peters. The movie was Despicable Me. Ben and I had taken Cameron to see it for his birthday and really liked it and it was even funnier the second time. Cameron was off hanging out with his friends during the movie but the twins and Kenzie still like hanging out with us and they did pretty well. We even got to watch most of the movie!! Per Ben's GREAT idea we decided to take the boys tubing at Sunburst on Saturday. When we suggested going Clayton was thrilled and excited and Calvin said he did not want to go. Which was very out of character for both of them. Usually that would be reversed! Of course poor Kenzie got ditched by Gigi and Papa's but I don't think she minded as she practically jumped out of my arms to go by her Gigi the moment she saw her. Apparently we were not the only ones who had the idea of enjoying the warm up in the weather and go out tubing. It was packed. So we got our tubes and headed for the 'Magic Carpet', which in case you have not been there is like a big moving sidewalk that takes you up the hill. The twins were a little freaked out by this and Clayton even fell over on it which made him more nervous about it. But this is were their personalities came back to normal. Calvin already said he loved it (the magic carpet) and that it was so fun he wanted to do it again and we had not even did the tubing yet. We did make it to the top and then we were off. I took Calvin. Ben took Cameron and Clayton. At the bottom everyone said they liked it. Calvin was thrilled. He told me he never wanted to leave or go home and asked to do it again. Clayton said he liked it but that he did not want to do it again. We were able to get him to do it again with a little encouragement. It was an absolute blast. Clayton did need to take a Hot Chocolate break for a little bit and then it was tougher to get him back into it but Calvin and Cameron totally loved it. Overall a really great time. Then after tubing was over mom sent Dad home with all the kids and went out on the town for Ladies Night with some old friends. Dinner, a movie and then even a late evening of dancing.
Calvin and Clayton all geared up for tubing!
They boys are ready!!
Now we are set!! Maybe Clayton would have liked it more if he could have seen something instead of the inside of his hat!
Cameron even took our photo before the first trip down!!
Today was also a wonderful day. We all went to church together then donuts at the bakery and naps! Beautiful day to build a snow fort and some great packing snow. Here is the result so far. Dinner time got in the way of completing the fort. Maybe we will get to complete it yet this week!
Happy Valentine's day to you all!!!
