weekend recap

...so i stayed home while everyone went to hurricane harbor. which turns out was just as well. when they got home, they said they got to ride one ride! and they stood in line forever just to do that! by the time they got there, hardly any chairs, tables, etc. were available. chris said he was so glad i didn't end up going--he wouldn't have wanted to hear me complaining! who, me? ha ha! he said he'd never seen so many tattoos and belly button piercings!!

when everyone got showered and changed, we went to the mall to eat at cheesecake factory. (after MUCH discussion--we had told the girls we'd go to the rain forest cafe, but the wait was going to be over an hour and the only reservation they had was for 10:00. so we finally convinced them to go somewhere else.) while we waited for our table, we went to barnes and noble to look around. i just love being surrounded by books!

mckinlee and brooke had a good time piling up books and reading on a little stool in the kid's area.
then we got our table and ordered. i just love this place. they have the biggest menu of any place i've ever eaten at!

i got the the 4 seasons pizza. it was delish! tomatoes, artichoke hearts, wild mushrooms, goat cheese and prosciutto. yum-mo! then tiramisu for dessert. oh. my. goodness. heavenly! we didn't leave until almost 10:30. we all never eat that late, so were all pretty tired and stuffed.
(i have no idea why chris is holding up a bottle of tabasco!?!)

so that's the condensed version of our weekend~we had such a fun time and can't wait until they come back again~
