On Sunday, we drove around Derek's old neighborhood. We stopped at a playground where Derek used to play. The kids loved Rocket Park!
We then visited Derek's friend and his family. We had lunch and spent the afternoon hanging out at the house.
Makena wanted to take the baby home.
Kyle was a bit bashful around the cute girl.
The kids learned how to play bocce ball. Kyle got in on the action too. Check out Derek's face as he protects Karis from Kyle's ball. Who knew where the ball was going to land!
We left our friends' house to meet Derek's stepfamily for dinner at Ach n Lou's. It was a nice evening of catching up and having them meet our kids. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures.
The next day, we took the kids to Blackberry Farm in Aurora. It was a perfect place for our kids. They had pony rides, a carousel, a train ride, an ice cream stand and a playground. What else does a kid need? It was a hot and humid day, but the kids had a great time. Unfortunately it closed at 3:30 pm so we didn't have as much time as we would have liked.
That night we ate at Portillo's, one of Daddy's favorites. Here is a picture of our well-behaved kids at the restaurant -- right before they started fighting over the purple crayon! =)
We got back in the car right as the rain started. After the rain, a cool front moved in and it was in the 70's the rest of the week. We loved the cool weather!
