A few weekends ago had some very special visitors stop by… Aunt Holly, Uncle Cal, Avi and Asa!
They decided to get out of Cincy for the night and get a hotel room in downtown Columbus. They stopped by our house for a little visit before checking into the hotel and we could not have been more thrilled! Mitch was SO excited to have Avi come to his house and play. We go to Avi’s house fairly often, but Avi has only been to our house a few times. Mitchell was so excited to show Avi his toys and play. Mitch also decided that it was his job to encourage Avi to use the potty. He led by example and the boys took a potty break every 20 minutes or so. It was kind of hilarious. Every time we turned around, the boys were back in the bathroom.
After Holly, Cal and the kids headed to their hotel around 5 and Rita came over to babysit for us so that Pat and I could go to dinner. We went to a restaurant called Boiling Seafood. It was so good! I tried crawfish for the first time and it wasn’t bad. I never been to a restaurant like that – we picked our sauce and spice level and they cooked the sausage, crab, shrimp, crawfish and corn all together with the sauce in a big bag. Then they just drop the bag on the table, put a bib on you, give you a pair of gloves and a bucket for shells and you just go to town. It was really delicious and I’d love to go back!
The next morning, I took the kids to Holly’s hotel to go swimming for a little while. The kids didn’t last as long as I expected. That may have had something to do with the fact that I left Mitchell’s swim trucks and Evelyn’s goggles at home. Mitch was able to borrow a pair of shorts from Avi thank goodness! We had a great time visiting them and we were very sad to see them go! Hopefully they are able to come and see us again soon!
