Saturday morning we decided to check out a little cafe for breakfast, Country Rose Cafe and Bakery. It was such a cute little place, kind of out in the country with such nice people. We went straight to a corner booth because with our kids that's the best place to be! Tim showed the boys how to blow the paper off of straws, so both Kallen and Isaiah aimed at Kenzie and I (we were up against the wall). Kenzie wanted to try, so we told her that she had to hit her brothers so it didn't go to the table behind them. Sure enough, it went flying right at a lady at that table. Kenzie was so embarrassed! She hid behind me right away. I apologized, but the lady and the 3 other people in her group were laughing and said it was no big deal, that they do it had home all the time. Kenzie kind of hid for awhile and then she confessed that she was also sad that she didn't hit Isaiah in the face like he did to her. After a bit, the group at the other table got up to leave. A few minutes later the one lady came to our table and handed Kenzie a cute little Easter bunny stuffed animal. She told all 3 of the kids that she was impressed with how well-behaved they were and that they were awfully cute. Proud mama moment right there.
The rest of our day was pretty busy. We went to the Just Add Kids Expo at Case High School. There were so many vendors from businesses that are aimed towards kids (Monkey Joe's, an indoor bounce house; Action Territory; a place with bumper cars, laser tag, etc and many more), groups with fun activities, etc. There were games for the kids, face painting and lots of treats. Afterwards we went to a Hobby Shop that Tim wanted to check out. The kids were fascinated by all of the RC airplanes, helicopters, cars and the rockets.
Before heading home, we decided to stop by Cherry Berry for a treat (for those who don't know... amazing frozen yogurt that I was introduced to by my brother's amazing girlfriend). I had gotten a call that I won something from there at the expo. Isaiah now has a new Cherry Berry shirt and we got a bunch of discount cards, which will be super nice for treats this summer.
Sunday morning we headed out to Bong State Recreation Park for some kite flying. The kids have been so excited to go and we finally had a nice enough day to do it. We found an open ball field to play on. The sun may have been out, but it was still chilly. We're still getting used to the wind down here. I hate wind! We flew kites for an hour, took a snack break, the boys tried sneaking up on some geese and then we flew kites for another hour. I think Tim and I had as much fun flying the kites as the kids did!
Last night we finally pulled out the grill. Man, we've missed that thing! We had steaks (a rare treat as we don't really eat beef anymore) and brats. I'd say it was a pretty great weekend!
