How does lunch and a movie turn into 9 1/2 hours???

Today was our first full day with my nephews visiting from Montana.

My Grandma Rose wanted to take us out for a special treat.

First we went to lunch at Applebee's. Cousin Sheena

also joined us for lunch. The food was good and the visiting was great.

After lunch we had about 30 minuets before we needed to be at the movies.

So without much time we headed over to the duck pond park

and the kids played. R & J are two peas in a pod actually more like

two monkeys. The first thing they did was find a tree to climb.

Then when that wasn't fun enough they decided they would rather

hang from that tree.....

Grandma Rose couldn't believe it.

I love that my kids love their cousins.

After the park we went to the movies to see G Force.

I have come to realize that I really don't like 3D movies.

After the movies we decided that we would go to Target to let

the kids use their gift cards that they got the night before

at our family birthday celebration. After shopping for a little

over an hour we headed over to Grandma's and she invited the

kids to play the Wii. Then since it was getting close to dinner

we decided to order take-n-bake and have the hubby pick

it up on the way over. The kids had fun playing the Wii again after

dinner and we were able to play two rounds of cribbage, I won

the first game and Grandma won the second. Hubby wasn't to happy

about loosing to girls but had a fun time anyway.

So that is how we turned lunch and a movie into 9 1/2 hours.
