Weekend Recap

This weekend we had our family in town from Madras, OR. They happen to be two of our favorite people, Troy's parents!

Saturday was pretty low key. I had to serve at the coffee bar for church, but then we met up and had dinner at one our new favorite restaurants: Top o' China Buffet. I know, I know, you're probably thinking 'how good can a buffet really be?' Trust me on this, it's some of the best Chinese food we've found in Spokane. It get a little bit of everything at a pretty decent price.

We watched Accepted for the second time in 2 days Saturday night. I didn't have high hopes for it, due to the actors cast, but it's a good flick. Yes, it even warranted watching it twice. It's message is a good one: Just how much is our current education system serving our college bound kids? Next time you rent a flick and grab some popcorn, consider this one. However, beware of language content. It drops S-Bombs all over the place, but once you see the film you'll understand.

Sunday was Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all you mommas out there. My kids (and husband) cooked me and my MIL breakfast. It was delicious and very sweet. The kids worked hard and are already planning what they'd like to cook up for their dad on Father's Day. The kiddos also colored cards and DH bought me a rose and a nice card. It was a good morning.

Once the day was going we decided to pack up and head to Cabela's in Post Falls, Idaho. My father-in-law, Carl, hadn't been there yet and the kids love to see all the animals. If you haven't been there yet, there are a ton of animals on display there from Grizzly Bears to Polar Bears to Trout to Tuna. The kids also like testing out all the tents set up. This trip we also pressed pennies as a souvenir. Oh, and Ty also got to replace the bobbers for his fishing pole that he lost while practicing casting a few weeks back.

That was the gist of our weekend. The father-in-law has head back to Madras, while my mother-in-law gets to stay with us for the week. Yay! We all love extended visits with our family members.

Hope you all have a blessed week!
