Fantastic Falco Weekend

Friday night Chris, Caroline and I hit the road to Dallas to see one of our best friends the Falcos! Caroline talked to Chris and I for about an hour on the road and then slept most of the way there.  When we got to the Falco house Caroline went straight to bed and we stayed up late talking. 

Amy and I signed up for a race in Ft Worth early Saturday morning. There were soooooo many people at the race.  Amy and I spent the first mile dodging people trying to get around them.  I laughed so hard when Amy busted through a couple trying to hold hands.

It was a really good race.  I miss my running buddy! When we got back to her house the kids were already playing together.  Caroline got Sam a turtle tent for Christmas. They played "hide from the monsters!" Sam shared his helicopter.  This was one of Caroline's favorite of Sam's toy.  Sam put it on his head and Gian flew it off.  Caroline thought this was awesome!

Having lunch at Rosas

The Falcos got Chris and I the best Christmas present.  They bought us a gift certificate to IFly Indoor Sky Diving.  It was awesome!!!

Caroline and Sam eating a snack while watching us suit up. We had to watch a safety video, get our suits, helmets, safety glasses and ear plugs in and we were ready to go.

It was so fun! We got in a vertical wind tunnel with glass all around and it really felt like we were flying.  I laughed and smiled the whole time.

Chris did great! I love this picture because you can see Gian in the back ground cheering him on.  Also Gian was wearing this hilarious tiger tail on his helmet.  It kept hitting the instructor on the face. After flying we were all hungry and went to Norma's, a great county style diner. Yum!! We got back to the Falcos and put the kids to bed and again stayed up way too late talking.

On Sunday Brooke took our family picture at Arber Hills park. It was fun because the Leidners and Falcos also got their pictures done too! 

More of those pictures to come.

Brooke is so talented.  She took one of my favorite pictures of Caroline when she was 9 months old.  I have a feeling these pictures will be right up there with that one. 

After pictures we all went and ate lunch.  It is sad to say good bye but I know we will see them again soon.

Caroline was worn out.

Side note:  I got 2 warnings driving home.  The first warning was from a police officer in Bridgeport.  I'm pretty sure I wasn't speeding but I think Caroline got me out of the ticket by being so adorable.  She greeted the officer with a "Hi!" when he came to the window and told him "bye-bye" when he left.

The 2nd warning was from a Highway policeman 30 minutes down the road.  He pulled me over because my inspection was out. Not sure how he saw that while I was driving 75 but he did.  I think maybe they were looking for  so criminal in a black car because it was crazy to have 2 people pull me over so close together.
