family weekend

What a great weekend (despite the fact that I really did NO homework… oops. Or maybe it was great because I didn't do any!)

Friday was pretty boring, until we rented "The Princess and the Frog"! It was so good! I'd even say it had the makings of a Disney classic. The music was great, the characters were enigmatic, and of course, the ending was happy.

On Saturday, Michael's parents came down to go camping (in their RV). So, we went down to visit them. We spent some time hiking… Scrappy was our fearless leader!

 

Then we went to Red Robin!! I ate a wrap yummm. My tummy was so so so full after that, maybe even too full! It seems like when parents visit, your stomach never goes empty.

Mom I. also had some things for us from her trip to Mexico! She gave me a cute pink bag, fabric to make a skirt, and some vanilla (yes, for baking). I didn't know, but apparently the vanilla bean is thicker and darker down there, and it makes a higher quality vanilla! Cool, huh?

Afterward we watched Michael make a fire the Eagle Scout way, and sat around it until it simmered out. There really is something mesmerizing about watching a fire.

They bid us farewell this afternoon, after Michael's mom made some really really delicious chicken for lunch! =) It was great to have some family time.
