Last Week

Last weekend my brother came to town to stay with us. We had so much fun! My mom and Scott came up on Saturday for the day and we all went to the local amusement park. I got to ride a roller coaster and that made everything better! Of course I forgot my camera along with the diaper bag, bottles, formula, etc. Jack lasted a few hours until he was really hungry. I searched high and low for some yogurt or applesauce, but amusement parks don't sell that stuff. So I fed him Italian Ice, it was watermelon flavored so I am sure it was very nutritious.

At the end of the day Jim, Lilly, Oliver, and I played with the Aerobie for hours. It got stuck in a really high tree and Oliver climbed so high into that tree that we couldn't see him for awhile. He finally rescued the frisbee and we called it quits with the Aerobie. Then the boys played basketball until dark and we all loved having a day outside where we felt like kids again.

Then on Sunday my oldest and dearest friend, Heather, came to visit. She just left this morning and we're all a little sad because it was a wonderful visit. Heather took a ton of pictures and so I actually have some photos of the week.

Sunday I taught Heather to knit. That is the risk you take when you visit me, I make you learn how to knit. Heather is a pro knitter now, she made a hat and started an afghan while she was here. Another convert!

Monday Heather and I went to Zumba and then watched Lilly's swim lesson, where she dutifully took a ton of pictures.

Tuesday we went to the yarn shop while Lilly was at preschool and had a huge take out dinner from Panera. Delicious! Heather took lots of cute photos of Lilly and played with her outside. She was a great play mate for Lilly.

Wednesday we made the trip to Hershey so we could go to Chocolate World! We sampled chocolate and bought chocolate souveniers. Doesn't get much better than that. We also met up with Angel and her girls and ate lunch at Isaacs. Isaacs is my new favorite place, they make sandwiches on the most delicious pretzel rolls. I dream about those pretzel rolls. Then we watched Fever Pitch so we could all be excited for baseball season and we ate gourmet cupcakes.

As all things, the fun had to come to an end and Heather had to go back home. Now Lilly is playing outside on this beautiful day with the neighbor kids while I catch up on my blog, laundry, dish and get back to real life.
