This weekend was the BEST! We were so busy with so many fun things that this may be a very long post with lots of pictures. We started out with a wonderful Thursday night at the mall. We love the mall...and hardly every buy anything but food. So, usually it's a fun cheap night out together.
We did splurge a little this time to take a ride on some of the fun things at the mall.
Yes, the girls are getting a little large for these rides! But, they had a blast on them!
On Friday morning we headed over to our favorite pottery spot All Fired Up. We had painted some pottery and needed to pick it up, and while we were there we redeemed our $20 worth of free pottery. Yes, we have been here enough to gain $20 of free pottery and we spent all morning working on a precious salt and pepper shaker for our table. We all worked on it!
Anli worked on the salt shaker.
Virginia did the pepper. We picked the colors of our tablecloth and then let them at it. I can't wait to pick them up!
From there we headed over to a park we used to go all the time that we call "Wally World." It was overcast so it wasn't at all hot. We enjoyed playing like school kids all over the place!
Daddy cheers Anli on as she tries to skip rings...she's always taking things to another level.
How cute are these two? What you don't see is me laying on a tire below them trying to get a photo that isn't washed out by the sky behind them...that would have made an interesting photo!
How precious is this? I can't believe my girl is 9...last year in single digits!
We played a fun games of hide and seek. I laughed and laughed as Jay tried to "find" the girls! It's a HUGE playground and it's easy to get turned around when you are the seeker.
In the middle of hide and seek, it started rain. So, we literally ran as fast as we could to the car for a Bruester's ice cream run. They offer a free second scoop if it is raining when you get there. So, we have started taking the DeBusk's idea and have enjoyed every time!
So, in the spirit of a "cheap" weekend...we shared the scoops since Jay didn't want any ice cream. The girls loved sharing and tasting every one's choice...yummy treat for under $5 for three people total!
That night we headed over to Douglasville for a reunion with our Families on Mission team. It was the start to a wonderful time of fun, fellowship, encouragement, and FOOD! Here are a few of the kids taking a quick break...but I will have to share the rest of the reunion tomorrow...there are just too many photos and fun times to share right now! It needs it's own day.
