The kids were great, the time was relaxing and fun, and I'm so glad we went! Thursday we spent time with Kari and her two littles, Wyatt and O.J., walking and feeding the ducks and playing on the playground and winding down (or winding up, depending on who we're talking about) at Red Robin for lunch. There was a minor problem surrounding the Red Robin balloons when it was time to buckle into car seats, but Mom-of-the-Year quickly solved it by telling them if they didn't settle in the balloons would go out the window. End of problem.
The kids were amazingly good on the drives up and back - Christa has discovered an incredible combination of dramamine (they DO get carsick, really) and movies on the laptop. Result - half-comatose and/or sleeping children and much quiet while we drive. Very nice.
The highlight was definitely watching this movie. That's a lie. It was the worst movie I've seen in a very long time, despite Christa's assurances that it was "really sweet." I'm pretty sure it should be renamed "Bitter October." Ridiculous. The only good thing is that she was really embarrassed by the end of it.
I'll post the rest of my pictures on facebook - there's some cute ones in there!

Hi Angie! Just now discovered that you'd blog this. That night is a laughable moment forever etched in my being. It WAS a wonderful time. Just sad that we never did get to a game. And 3 gamers like us too. Another day...
