Joel decided to drive over with the boys today to visit us. When they got here we went down to the hotel pool to swim for a little bit. I think they liked the hot tub more than the pool, but once they all migrated over to the pool they had fun swimming all over. Noah and Eli have some cool life jackets, so they could swim all over the pool. After swimming we went to Space Aliens for lunch...that place is so cool! There are crazy aliens all over the walls and a (sort of lame) game room. The kids love it there. After lunch we went over to our new house...the realtor came over and let us through to show Joel and check a few things out. It was nice getting back in there since we only looked at it one time and that was pretty quick. The kids got to play in the back yard on our new swingset, they gave it a thumbs up! There is a little painting we'll need to do and some window treatments to buy, but everything looked good!
After the house we came back to the hotel so Noah could take a nap. Joel and Rich decided that was a good idea too, so I took the rest of the kids and the dogs to the park. We found a park with a playground, basketball courts, tennis courts, and a big field to run in. Tyler and Matt played tennis while the little kids played on the equipment. We left Tyler and Matt there to continue their game and came back to see if Noah was awake yet. Rich left for work, and Joel and I packed the kids up in the van and headed for the zoo. It was free day at the zoo (ack) so there were loootttttsssss of people there. We almost didn't go but Eli decided that he had seen someone pulling out of a parking spot so there was a perfect opportunity to pull in and go to the zoo.....so we decided to risk it :). It really wasn't too bad...everything in that zoo is spread out so it's easy to find a pocket without many people. We gave the tigers, bears, and spider monkey's a thumbs up....and Eli's favorites were the Prairie Dogs (of all things...we can see those for free in a field by grandpa jim's house LOL!). There were tunnels you could go through and see them underneath.
After the zoo we went to McD's to grab supper and brought it to a big park not too far from our new house. The kids played for awhile, then we headed back to the Old Candlewood. Joel got Eli and Noah's jammies on and they took of for Moorhead. How fun is it that they are only 2 1/2 hours away from us so the day trip thing is possible? I love it <3>
