My weekend stated Friday. We got up and headed to a new to us breakfast place that specializes in donuts and bagels. Rory and I shared a cronut which was amazing. I never had one before. We got one with nutella and almonds. I also had a bagel sandwich that I shared with Avery. Rory got a breakfast burrito and the girls both had donuts.
After breakfast, we decided to head out to the pumpkin patch festival. On the way, I got pulled over. I haven't been pulled over in about 10 years, let alone got a ticket. I was in a new area, was going with the flow of traffic and I was the last person in a long line of cars. Well the cop decided to pull me over and I had no idea why. I guess the whole line of cars was speeding, but I was the fall guy. Soooo annoying. Way to break my streak of no tickets.
We got to the pumpkin patch and the girls were so excited. They saw chickens on the way in and couldn't wait to see all the animals. First, we went to the petting area and the area just to see the animals.
After the animals, we headed over to the hay jumping. Rory had to show the girls how to do it since they were sort of scared of the hay. Then we did some hay stuffing.
Followed by the hay maze.
Followed by some rocking horse action.
Next, we went and grabbed a slice of pizza (free) and the girls played on the slides for a bit before taking some cute outlaw photos.
We left shortly after and the girls fell asleep in the car on the way home. Once we got home, they napped and I went to the grocery store for the makings of dinner, meatball subs. We spent the rest of the day playing, reading, making dinner, bath time and relaxing.
Saturday morning we got up and had breakfast at home before heading out to the Nevada Day parade. I haven't been in many years and we wanted to introduce it to the girls. Plus our friends invited us to their company area where we could watch the parade, eat, play and be in a safe area. The girls loved it minus the load noises from the bands and fake guns.
We left shortly after 1 pm and the girls crashed right away. I could have used a nap as well, but once we got home the girls were up and ready to play again. We played with the new unicorn bubble gun outside for awhile before heading to the outlets to buy some jeans to go with the girls outfits for family photos.
The girls were full of energy in the stores, so we had to bribe them with some outdoor play time while Rory and I took turns going into stores. Then we headed over to the pizza shop at the outlets and had an early dinner.
We went home, did some laundry, and put the girls to bed early. They were tired from not having a long nap that day.
Sunday morning we got up and I took care of the girls while Rory went out to breakfast on his own because I had a brunch date with friends at 10:30. The girls and I did some cleaning and they ate breakfast. I headed out to a nice outdoors brunch with my friend Heather. We spent hours talking, eating and having a mimosa. It was 78 degrees Sunday, so it was beautiful.
After brunch, I headed to Costco for a few essentials and came home to the girls playing outside with Rory. We did more bubble time and then gave the girls baths since we had family photos that evening. We got the girls ready, then got ourselves ready and headed to the photo shoot spot. We spent about 45 minutes taking photos and walking around. It was very warm so our long sleeve outfits were HOT.
After photos, we said our goodbyes to our photographer (Rory's cousin) and then headed to dinner. We had every intention on cooking dinner, but the girls were hungry at that moment. We grabbed dinner and came home to get things ready for the week.
Overall, it was a great weekend minus the speeding ticket.
How was your weekend?
