We had a perfect start to the week when we went over to my friend Heather's this Monday morning. Grandma Vicki was supposed to be done with work, but still had things on her desk to clear off...so she was at the office. Todd had more work calls/emails coming in, so he planned on driving over to the local coffee/internet cafe to get some work done.
Heather and I were originally friends on Twitter and then blog followers and Facebook friends. We met for the first time last summer Up North in Walker, Minnesota. We hung out briefly at a little ice cream shop while my kids scarfed down ice cream and then begged to leave so we could continue shopping. This year, she invited us over to her home for our Second Annual Meeting. My kids had fun playing with her three.
They had fun taking turns playing on the World's Best Tire Swing. Owen played with the K-Man most of the time we were there, even though he was five.
Chloe had fun playing with Miss M, who is eight years old.
The kids also had fun searching for little frogs and toads like this one. They were all over!
Can you see the excitement in this boy's face as he is running to show me?
See Mom?
Chloe also caught frogs, but I think she might have pinched a few of them to death in her excitement to find them.
Then the kids started putting all the frogs in "The Habitat" and enjoyed watching them hop around in there.
Chloe led Baby D (two years old and a complete cutie patootie with her little pig tails!) on a Bear Hunt next to the woods.
Heather's middle child liked carrying her camera around and got some group shots of the rest of us. But my favorite was this one, where he was standing at me feet shooting up at me.
The kids had fun eating macaroni and cheese for lunch, riding bikes, playing ball, catching frogs, running and swinging while I enjoyed hanging out and talking with Heather. I don't get to hang out with many other moms and just talk, so this was a nice change of pace. None of us were ready to leave when it was time to go!
