Weekend Excitment

Our weekends are usually not very exciting. Just hanging out, cleaning, getting stuff done, studying, the usual I guess. Last Thursday we received a call from our good friends, The Bates, informing us that they were making a last minute decision to come up to Rexburg. We were so excited! That weekend was so much fun and made us realize even more how much we miss having them as neighbors.

They came up on Friday just in time for our ward activity. We went and hung out at the church, ate some good food, and played with the little kids. Later that night the real festivities began. Playing Super Mario Brothers. Seriously it was so much fun. It kinda started out just being a little fun competition, but as the night wore on it became fierce! There were people being thrown into lava and off cliffs. IT started with just pretty much Alma and Todd and then Jessica joined in! So in order to save myself I had to start playing dirty. We did this for over 3 hours! By 1:30 we realized we should probably hit the sack and head to bed. Lucky for us both our kids decided to wake up a little earlier than normal. I think they knew we stayed up and they figured they'd punish us.

Saturday we just hung around and then went down to Idaho Falls for dinner at 5 Guys Burgers & Fries.

That night we tried to play games, but I think we were all way to tired from the night before still. The weekend came to an end and Alma, Jessica, and Kaitlyn headed back home. We had such a fun time with them and Everett loved having Kaitlyn around. We can't wait for them to come back!
