Friends Visit!

This weekend John and Barbara came into town for a nice long weekend visit. Our weekend included Rock Band, eating, shopping, eating, seeing movies while eating, renting canoes, eating, playing Gears of War, eating, mini golf, eating, BINGO, eating, bats, eating, playing games, and eating..... and we also had lots of desserts. A good vacation regimen for Barbara/John.... but we weren't even on vacation! Yikes... but it's ok, because everything was SO good.

For those of you who want to details and schedule:

The first night they came in we immediately went to the Alamo Draft House, it was such a hit that we planned to come back in less then 24 hours. On Saturday we went out for some breakfast tacos, went to the Alamo Drafthouse again, and went home and made sliders for the Rockband party we had on Saturday night. Sunday we had some Mexican for lunch, took a nice leisurely canoe ride around Town Lake downtown, went to Home Slice Pizza for dinner, watched the bats, played mini golf, went to the capital to take pictures and stopped for Tiff's Treats cookies. Monday Madelyn and I had to work, but Barbara/John went down to San Antonio to the Alamo (not the movie theater!) and the River Walk. That night we met Barbara's cousins for some BBQ and then we hung out with the elderly at BINGO. Tuesday Barbara/John stayed at their cousin's house for the night since Madelyn had class. Wednesday Madelyn and I both took the afternoon off of work and we went to lunch at Central Market, played Rockband all afternoon, went to dinner at Polvos and stopped by Green Mesquite for their homemade Pecan Pie! Then it was off to the Airport.

The trip was a success.... we had a lot of fun! Here are some pictures of the weekend. Since this will probably be blogged about it two places I thought it would be easier to let the pictures do the talking (Barbara did a much better job of taking pictures then I did). Keep checking back here to see more pictures of the trip.

(that whale proved to be REALLY difficult)

(Our friend Jessica also had friends in town so we made sure to throw a Rockband party together)

After watching the bats emerging from under the bridge we stopped to snap some downtown pictures

So many songs to choose from!

of course we had to hit up BINGO but we did not win :(

John really enjoyed the BINGO
