The kids pulled up two chairs on Friday evening and pressed their noses to the window in anticipation of their arrival.
Since Seth had an extra pair of hands around, he recruited Jared to put up the trampoline on Saturday morning. AT LAST! Ever since I found out that they make trampolines with fences around them, I have pleaded for one. We got this one for Christmas, but due to weather restrictions it was not ready to be used until now.
It was actually only about 48 degrees this weekend, but we pretended it was warm.
These three watched the trampoline go up. John was inside playing Transformers and when I checked on Alyssa, she was trying to pick a good trampoline jumping outfit.
The mommies spent lots of time jumping, and realized later that we are not in prime jumping shape.
Chloe wanted me or Katelin to hold her and jump, which was exhausting.
But I somehow managed to pull it off while still looking....like I was in labor.
We went downtown and walked along Lake Michigan. I never get sick of being by the lake.
Looking at the water. I think we look like we are on the deck of a ghost ship.
Checking out the view from the trolley.
It is a pretty cool view!
We played board games and chit chatted and just enjoyed being together again. Such a fun weekend! Thanks for coming Mortons. See you in your neck of the woods in June!!!

Visitors are the best! Even when they are on "our side of town," it still seems like a mini-vacation.
The Lake looks AMAZING! I do not think Lake Mead would have that same appeal! LOL :) Of course, I love the chocolaty pictures. Great trampoline! I have been begging for one. Hopefully, I will get one soon.
I'm so glad you were able to spend time together. I'll bet your kids were in heaven. I'll bet the adults were in heaven!! HOORAY
Fun weekend! That tree is pretty dang awesome! You are going to have to take us along the lake, on the trolly and to get ice-cream with you sometime. Looks like a good time! You really know where the good places are in this town!
Sunshine and greening trees/grass - even if it's still cool, I can see you're getting spring, too. How fun to have wonderful friends! The few times I've been to Chicago, I thought the lake was just awesome. But it's scary, too, in a blizzard. Glad it isn't blizzarding any more (fingers crossed, knock on wood).
Love the trampoline, if I do say so myself it turned out to be a good gift. Can't wait to jump around on it with the kids this summer. Glad it fits.
How fun! I love the picture of the kids waiting. That's great.
That family picture of you guys that I took is totally crooked--what can I say? Sorry! But you still look cute. Thanks for being such great hosts, and we'll do it again many times to come--maybe we'll have to do it sometime when we don't have to pretend that it's warm! :o)
For some reason no one looks attractive while jumping on the trampoline. I can only jump for a couple of minutes before I pee my pants. I loved that comment....thanks for the giggle.
Our trampoline is an ER visit waiting to happen. No padding, and no net. They sure are fun though. That tree is awsesome! You will definitely have to go back for pictures with your kids.
See...you do eat veggies LOL. I know your plate probably didn't have any on it. It looked awesome! I love riding the trolley too and whats great is my kids don't get sick of it either. Your back yard looks huge. I don't think I've ever seen it. I use to do trampolines all the time but I'm afraid now I'd probably pee my pants LOL. I blame kids haha
Dang, I want to ride the trolley!! I definitely have to get a trampoline in our yard someday too! It is funny how you guys are dressed for 48 degree weather...we would probably be in snowsuits.
I have to show Luke the trampoline picture, he'll like that. I bet he will also bring up his old bee sting when he sees your yard, I swear the guy will never forget that!!
I wish we could have joined you guys in all the fun activities, but San Diego needed us. Glad we could at least see the Mortons for a short while. Hope to see them again soon.
Oh I am so jealous! It looks like so much fun and I bet the kids had a blast! And we still have not found any friends that we enjoy staying up late and playing games with. We miss you!
By the way, I love your April Fools meal and I am going to try it soon.
