Whirlwind Springfield Trip

Well, Josh and I kind of realized we weren’t going to be able to make it to Springfield again for a couple of months, including for Miss Leila’s birthday, so we decided to make a quick trip down there on one of our free weekends this month!  So, the weekend of the 12th we headed down Friday after work, stayed for a day, and drove back Saturday evening!

Friday, Josh and I dropped Laney off at Grandma & Grandpa Looten’s, and headed out for a grown up dinner at Hemmingway’s.  We’d both been craving some all-you-can-eat crab, and crab doesn’t have carbs! :)  We really enjoyed some grown up conversation, too, and the food was delicious!

Saturday we really just hung out for the morning.  Josh and I ran to CPO, because we can’t make it to Springfield without shopping there!  That afternoon Jess, Josh, and I took Leila and Laney to see The Princess and the Frog, because it was at the discount theater.  Both girls were actually really good, although they did end up both sitting on Josh’s lap at one point!  They enjoyed the movie, though, and were pretty quiet, except for a few comments from Laney.  The comments were typically during a quiet part, though, so there were more than a few laughs at her!  She’s still talking about going to the movie, so I guess she enjoyed it!

Anyway, we stayed for dinner Saturday night, and then headed back so we could be back in time for church Sunday morning.  It was a whirlwind trip, but we had a great time visiting! 

Some cute pics….

Josh, learning what life with two girls is going to be like!  Leila LOVED hanging with Josh & Laney!  There was much goofing off and laughing! 

Mr. Kael, hanging with Uncle Josh…

But the girls wouldn’t leave him alone very long!

I get the feeling Laney might be taking over the swing when we get it out for Audrey!  Hope it’s a good sturdy swing…

The girls, ready for the movies!

  A little photo shoot for Kael!

 

That’s about it… like I said, a whirlwind trip but we sure had a good time!
