Isaac's Birthday Weekend Celebrations
Mom and Dad Taylor came in town for the weekend of Isaac's birthday and what a fun time we had with them in town! We no longer have a spare queen bed in our house, so they opted to stay in a hotel rather than use blow-up beds. The first hotel they stayed at had an awesome breakfast buffet and a pool and hot tub! We went there each morning for the food and played in the pool too! On Friday after we went to downtown GR and there was a local art show where artist made a mini-golf course. It was really creative and we had a lot of fun playing!
That night David and I got to go out of a date and joined some friends downtown for dinner. It was fun to eat and converse kid free and spend some time with friends and then alone too. The Taylors had Kayla overnight for a sleepover that night too (or should I say a chat-over; Kayla told stories until past midnight and was up at 7!)
Saturday included more swimming, shopping and eating out! We got 2 birthday sundaes since we were celebrating both Isaac and Mom Taylor's birthdays. Isaac was very skeptical of it at first, but soon climbed out of his chair to get more!
Then the Taylors switched to a different hotel, one that had a water park!! After church on Sunday we got pizzas to eat poolside and we played all afternoon! There was a waterslide which Kayla went down with us about 100 times - she loved it! We took Isaac down it a few times too!
We opened some birthday presents and we Skyped my parents to sing happy birthday to Isaac and eat some cake (a cake that Kayla helped me make and decorate!). Isaac did not like the cake at all; in fact, he spit it out! He did enjoy playing with the cup of milk and straw we gave him, though.
On Monday both Grandma and Pop-pop took Kayla to preschool. She enjoyed showing them all the things she likes to do there and introducing them to some of her friends! The Taylor's took off after preschool time to start back on their trip home.
Since the cake wasn't very successful we opted to make chocolate chip cookies for Isaac's birthday dessert. He enjoyed that quite a bit!
Of course, I also took a million pictures of him in his birthday shirt, hoping to get a few that came out well! Here is one of my favorites!
We had a great time with the Taylor's in town and had fun celebrating Isaac's birthday!
