This weekend and last weekend we had very productive visits to the car dealership. To give you idea of what we do while we are talking and figuring things out here is a picture of Axel and Phoenix running down a long hall. The kids have been very good overall, but it takes a bit of creativity to keep them entertained and behaving well.
On Wednesday night I picked up Grandma Susan from the train station. On Thursday morning we went out to breakfast at Stacks because daddy had a doctor's appointment in dermatology later that morning to get a possible basal cell carcinoma removed. He will find out in a week or two if it was benign or positive.
We had an awesome breakfast with awesome service. The food came fast and was well enjoyed.
The kids were so happy that Grandma Susan was in town!
After breakfast we headed to story time. Axel received his certificate, a free book and free passes to The Children's Discovery Museum for completing the summer reading program.
We had some fun play indoors at home in the afternoon too. Axel purchased these new omnifix building cubes with a gift card from his birthday after attending a math and art camp. Grandma spelled Phoenix's name so Axel spelled his name.
On Friday morning we decided to head to the Discovery Museum because we had 2 free tickets.
This was Phoenix's and Grandma's first time there.
Although Axel has been there a handful of times there was a new West Wing that he was able to explore. The climbing wall was one new thing he discovered.
I find it fascinating how the exhibits can grab the attention of children all ages.
After two hours of fun we headed outside for a picnic lunch. We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon together with fun indoor art projects and a long trail walk with Louis.
On Friday night Keith and I went out for dinner. We decided on the Cheesecake Factory so we could enjoy some yummy cheese cake after our meal.
It was a nice dinner and amazing Tiramisu cheese cake. After dinner I was feeling so uncomfortably full we decided to walk around the mall. We ended up buying Axel lots of great dry fit clothing from Old Navy for great prices before heading home for the evening.
Here is a very cute picture of Keith and Louis from yesterday morning. Yesterday we were able to go for a nice bike ride together and then Aunt Shannon, Uncle Ryan and Braylin came over for a short visit. Grandma and the Jolley's headed home just after noon. We headed to Hyundai on Capitol Expressway to finally test drive the 2016 Tuscon. We are excited that we finally found our vehicle, but are a little bummed that we have to patiently wait for a Limited to come in. We then had a nice dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Fiesta Del Mar, in Mountain View.
After lots of great time with family we have our last full week of summer. It is amazing that the new school year is practically here. Check back soon!
