A weekend in Wisconsin
















This past weekend, Corey and I and Bleeker (a friend of Corey's from work), headed out to Eau Claire, Wisconsin to visit Corey's friend Heather and her husband Ryan. My dad and sister graciously agreed to watch the girls. It was a really great weekend!

Friday we went out to eat at a great Mexican restaurant called Azul Tequila. Then, we found a local bar that had a really cool outdoor area that reminded me of the tiki bars in Florida. And yes, they had swings at the bar! How cool is that! In between the rain we played bean bags. (I'm kind of getting addicted to playing bags!) In fact, Ryan and I made quite the winning team. We won 3 out of 4 games against Bleeker and Lefty (Ryan & Heather's friend).

Saturday, Heather and Ryan made us an awesome brunch of pancakes, bacon and eggs and we enjoyed going to the movies and seeing Eclipse. (AGAIN) Heather and I LOVE the Twilight saga and kind of coerced everyone else to come with us to see the movie!! But, as long as we got our dose of Edward, we didn't care. Heather took us on a tour of Eau Claire and showed us all the places she knew from her childhood. (Heather grew up in Eau Claire.) Then, Ryan grilled for us and we relaxed outside and wrapped up the evening with a little shuffleboard (Doug E. Fresh has nothing on me in shuffleboard! Sorry, inside joke!)

We had a delicious brunch fixed for us again on Sunday, we played a mean game of Cranium and then headed home. It was a relaxing, fun, laid-back weekend.

Taya and Chloe also had fun spending time with grandpa and their aunt, going out to eat, and going shopping at the outlet mall in Albertville.
