2 Danielles

So one of Jer's and My Best Friends flew in for a visit with her Daughter. Danielle and Lexi arrived on Tuesday and flew home on Friday. It was so great to see them both. It had almost been 2 years. Danielle lived with Jer and I off and on in San Diego for about 3 years. We met when Rylee was just 4 months old. We have all been thought a lot together and we think of her as a little sister. Lexi, Danielle's daughter, is just a few months younger then Diesel. So we were very excited about the visit.

I picked them up from the Airport Tuesday at 11am. We were all ready for lunch so we stopped at Cabela's on the way home. Cabela's is like a Bass Pro Shop and we thought the kids would enjoy it. We ate lunch in their cafe and then let the little ones see all the fun stuff. We looked at the fish aquariums, the huge waterfall with stuffed (dead and stuffed) animals as well as another area full of stuffed animals. Diesel and Lexi really liked it. I hadn't planned on the stop so I didn't have my camera. After Cabela's we went to get the girls from school. They both didn't recognize Danielle at first. They both did a double take then were so excited. It was so cute!

Wednesday I had some Easter shopping to do. We ran to a few stores then headed to Chick-fil-A for lunch. Wednesday's they have kids eat free and a play area. So we took advantage of that. They both had fun and even enjoyed the balloons they got on the way out. I tried to get a picture of the two of them together but they wouldn't cooperate with me.
Diesel was so proud of himself after he discovered the slide. That was all he wanted to do the rest of the time there.

After Chick-fil-A I dropped Danielle and the little ones off. The little ones took a nap and I went to get Rylee and bring her to Piano. After Piano and the naps the kids played outside. I bought them bubbles and they enjoyed that and the Power Wheels.

Rylee of course Rylee went crazy with the camera and she or Taylor took all of these pictures.

Bubble time. They were such a big hit.

Pow-Pow-Power Wheels!

Thursday Jeremy took off work . We had stayed up pretty late the night before so we were all really tired. For lunch we headed to Peter Piper Pizza. It's like Chuck E. Cheese. They have a really good lunch buffet. Diesel and Lexi had a lot of fun and I think Daddy did too. Again I forgot my camera but later in the day we did take this one.

Friday morning we headed to The World Wildlife Zoo. They just opened the new Aquarium. I was able to get a buy 1 get 1 free ticket from a friend and we had lots of fun. Diesel and Lexi fought pretty much the whole visit but at the zoo they were so cute and nice wtih each other!

We were in the small mammal exhibit and it smelt so bad. Diesel didn't like it and he was letting us know. It was so funny to see him react like this.

Feeding the Duckies. They loved this

It thought he was going to fall in

Aren't the babies just to precious!

On the "Choo-Choo" train ride. This is a really cool ride. You are in with the animals. I was scared the ostrich was going to attack us.

We had to get back to life in time for us to pick the girls up from school. After the train ride we had about 30 minutes and we decided to let the little ones play on the play ground. They enjoyed getting all that extra energy out.

After the zoo we got the girls from school. Danielle packed up and we had dinner. I got her to the airport and she headed back to Cali. It was so much fun to see here and have her here. Jeremy is trying to convince her to move to Arizona. She's trying to get us to move Georgia. I say we meet in the middle!
