So, Thursday around 5:00pm we get a knock at the door, open it up and see a balloon attached to a box of popcorn. We popped the balloon and it said we were being sent on a scavenger hunt and to go outside and start looking for the next clue. We all went outside and found 5 more balloons with different clues...and the last one said that the last clue is waiting in our apt. So we went back inside, found a red balloon attached to a Mounds bar. Inside it said who do you know that loves Mounds bars? My Mom is about the only person I know who loves them but I thought No way could they possibly be here! Then the note said to go look in the pantry for a surprize......
We found these two!...with tears already filling up. I could not believe it! They completely surprised us!! I kept asking How did you...when did you...what??? Then they told me that Noah was in on it and had known for the past two weeks! I was dying that they got me that good.
We had so much fun. We made cookies, went to the beach (since the weather has been A-mazing), went to dinner, went to church, played games, watched A.I. Friday night Noah and I had a party to go to so my Mom and Dad took the kids shopping and let them pick out a toy then they had a pizza party and watched movies all night. Every night Brody and Sadie slept on the floor next to my Mom...they said they wanted to have a slumber party ever night...and they did! My Mom learned real quick that Sadie is a night owl and will talk your ear off all night!
I had to show off my new necklace that My Mom got me for my birthday. It's from Vestige Jewelry. If you live in AZ and still have not gone...seriously do yourself a favor! Or if you are out of town go here to check her out on Etsy.
It was a little sad when we had to say goodbye but at least summer is coming real soon and will get to visit everyone!We even made a chain to start the countdown. We are not sure on the exact day we will get to AZ but we put 112 days on the chain. Yikes! That sounds like a lot!
Thanks so much M0m and Dad for a great weekend! We loved every second of it!
