fun weekend part 3

on saturday we drove up to Preston for the Owen family party - an early start on the holidays and Grandma Owen's birthday. it was good for my kids to meet more of their owen cousins. and they had a lot of fun.

and now blogger won't let me upload any photos --- check back in a while.................................

I'm back -- to try again.....

I am having trouble getting the photos in a sensible order - but you get the idea, right???

The lunch was a soup cook off. So we got to sample 8 different soups and then we voted on our favorites. That was a lot of fun!!

On Monday for our family night, we took the boys to see Despicable me in the theater. It's not easy to get our boys to sit for long periods of time, but it was still a cute movie, and they had fun, so it was worth it. Thomas didn't ask for popcorn, instead he wanted a cup of ice. They had that cool kind, that's like little shaved ice balls. but they charged us a dollar (WHAT???) for it - oh well, cheaper than the popcorn would have been. LOL
