A 'Super' Weekend!

We had a fantastic weekend! We decided to go to the Balloon Glow in Forest Park Friday night... something that's become a bit of a tradition. Adelyn and Ella were in awe looking at the huge hot air balloons gearing up for a race the next day. Adelyn especially loved the Energizer Bunny balloon. When I stopped to take a snapshot, I looked up and noticed that my party had left me in the huge crowd! I didn't have my cell phone on me so I had to ask a stranger to use his. I knew I wouldn't be able to make my way back to the car if I had to.

We had plans to see one of Cousin Austin's soccer games on Saturday but we decided to opt for naptime instead since the weather wasn't great. Then grandma came to pick up the girls so we could get ready for our Anniversary night out. We went to our favorite fancy restaurant and spent way too much money on dinner (and wine) and then stayed out till a whopping 11 pm. I know... we're CRAZY like that!

We were invited on Sunday to take advantage of some free tickets to Six Flags so Andrew and I went while the girls stayed at their grandparents' house. The lines were short and I got to ride everything including the Super Man (notice the post title?!) which was new for me. I screamed as I anticipated a 23 story free-fall. It was a rush!! I would definitely put it up there with the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point which was said to be the tallest/fastest roller coaster at the time I rode it in 2004.

Also, Jesse McCartney was playing a concert that night (we stayed for a few songs) and I got to meet him face to face as he rode the Batman ride a couple times. I felt so sorry for the kid as everyone (including me) stared at him screaming throughout the ride. Call me star struck! :)

I was definitely missing the girls a lot this weekend... but we're back on track this week with a visit to the park today and a playdate planned for tomorrow afternoon. They fill my life with more fun and joy than anything in this world! Speaking of, here are a few pictures of the girls from last week at Chuck E. Cheese Pizza and the St. Louis Science Center. We visited the Science Center with another mommy and her two kids-- one around Adelyn's age and another Ella's age. We then went to one of our favorite family retaurants, Fitz's, for some burgers and root beer! In fact, Ella stole one of my french fries without me looking. She'll put anything in her mouth!
