Tizita and Courtney just left after five wonderful days with us. Paul was in California playing frisbee golf, so the girls decided to hang out with us. As you know from the last post, we spent Wednesday at Little America and when we got home, we got the call about John's job which he started bright and early on Thursday.
While John was at work Courtney, Tiz and I took Marge out to Walmart to get some pictures printed. As you know, Courtney doesn't shop at Walmart so this was quite the treat for Tiz, (not so much for Courtney, I guess) After a quick stop at Joanne's for some scrapbooking supplies we headed over to watch Mallory play tennis. It brought back many memories for me since I was the runner up city champion back in the day. I may have to devote a whole post to this very topic one day soon. After the tennis match which Mal won, by the way, we enjoyed Schuett's partly because we were hungry and partly to celebrate John's job. It was a good day for sure.
On Friday, Courtney, Tiz and I took a bike ride to Lincoln Park. We played hard and had fun. We headed to Kwik Trip after that to buy snacks and then over to Timothy Johnson Park. Courtney and I were very proud of ourselves for making it up all the hills that we encountered on our ride. We spent the afternoon scrapbooking and playing. Courtney made us pizza for supper and then she and I had a few bottles of wine and did some chatting late into the night.
After that it was time for the buffet which included ten kinds of pizzas, hot dog bar, kids bar with chicken nuggets and mac and cheese, salads of all sorts, fruits, fish, potatoes, stir fry, wraps, spaghetti, and desserts. It really was very yummy and we all agreed it was a very fun place and we will return again.
On Sunday it was church and a breakfast pot luck followed by a short bike ride and more scrapbooking.
So, as you can tell, it was the perfect way to end summer!
