Months ago we booked a trip to Tampa for the wedding of Eric and Theresa. Matt went to college with Eric which meant we'd be getting together with some of our very best friends for the weekend. Plans were made to go to Burns (an amazing steakhouse in Tampa), we'd meet Stella (Vin and Sheila's daughter), and we'd celebrate Eric and Theresa's wedding. Matt and I would fly to Tampa with Anabelle while Hayden would have a weekend at home with Grandma Sarah. Needless to say, we were all very excited.
But, with Anabelle's recent health problems we decided to cancel the trip and stay close to home. We asked Grandma Sarah to come for the weekend anyway and stay with us. We've had a great time together and have gotten to do so many fun things.
- Anabelle, G. Sarah, and I met Matt at work and had lunch at Coach and Willy's (the BEST spinach artichoke dip in town, hands down)
- G. Sarah, Anabelle, and I drove to Chandler to check on her house. While we were there we ate at Floridino's (the BEST cookie dessert in town, hands down)
- We went to the Pumpkin Patch in North Scottsdale. Uncle Ash came with us and we had a blast! Hayden got to pet a bunch of animals, we took a hayride to pick out our pumpkins, and Hayden considered riding a horse.
- Matt and I had our first "date night" since Ellie was born. G. Sarah watched the girls and we got to celebrate a friend's birthday at Dave and Buster's. We bowled, had an adult beverage, and got to spend time with our friends. It was wonderful and much needed.
- G. Sarah fixed the following items in our house: our dryer exhaust, the lamp in our big screen tv, the towel rod in our guest bathroom, the garage door opener, the sensor on our outside lighting, the lamp in our bedroom, our blanket rack, our whiteboard, and the garbage disposal. She also put security locks on our front door and garage door (making them impossible for Hayden to open), filled up my gas tank, and had Matt's car washed and the oil changed. She's seriously amazing.
- On Sunday Matt made an amazing breakfast, complete with homemade waffles, bacon, and hash browns. We watched football, fixed stuff around the house, took a walk to the park, and ate chili for dinner.
So, while we didn't get to dress up and attend a wedding in Florida we still had a great weekend and we're so grateful that we got to spend it with Grandma Sarah. Click on the picture below to see all of the fun events from the weekend.
