The Fast and the Furious.....

Last weekend my brother Charlie, his wife and two boys came to visit for the weekend. On Friday after some swimming and dinner we decided to go to the "Late Night" at Frisco Fire Safety Town. OH MY GOSH..it was so much fun! When we got there they were just getting out the jeeps and Reese was all about driving a jeep. Given the fact that she can't reach the peddles and is not a SAFE driving age I decided to recruit one of her older cousins to drive her.


I quickly realized that wacky wild 3 year old Zach might not be the best choice! He was not such a good driver. I'm pretty sure both kids got whiplash and my Mom got a good workout running beside the jeep trying to steer but it was HILARIOUS!

We moved on to letting the older and wiser Andrew drive the jeep and Reese and Zach took turns being the passenger. A much safer choice for all involved:) I was really impressed with the fire station. They made sure the kids follow the rules of the road such as stopping on red lights, etc...



After several rounds in the jeep we moved on to the bikes. Both Andrew and Zach got a bike and Christy and Bob got a workout keeping up with these two.




The rest of the weekend was spent swimming, playing and just hanging out and unfortunately I didn't take very many pictures. Saturday we made a quick trip to the mall so Andrew could check out the new Lego store, more swimming and then we all went to the park. Reese had so much fun playing with the boys. She called them "Anew" and "boy"! HA!

On Sunday we all went to church and while I was getting ready Poppy was entertaining Reese. Not only did he give Reese a juice box but he also let her play with his cell phone..no wonder he is her favorite:))

Kalie has a Poppy too, we spell it Poppi! I thought that was cute when I read it!

Hope you and Bob had a fun date night at Bob's! Also, Chris told me she and Nick saw you at MyGym this past Thursday. Kalie and I were should have been there. As I was parking I decided to take her home. She hadn't had a nap that day and I was having "on of those days" so we just went home! Too bad we missed you. We hope to be there this Thursday for class and may even stay to play after!
