A weekend with the 'Rents.

It is always fun to have my parents come up for a visit and their visit this past October was no exception. We packed a lot of fun into a few days and everyone was tired and happy by the time Monday rolled around.

Momma & Daddy got in on Friday evening, just in time to catch the last part of Spencer's fall carnival. When it was over we all headed home and ate a super late dinner of salad and BBQ salmon. It was yummy.

Saturday morning we all went to Spencer's soccer game before heading to Boise for a movie (Where The Wild Things Are) and dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. It was a fun day, filled with much laughter.

Sunday Steen had to work in the morning so the rest of us headed to Macy's to shop for costumes for Momma & Daddy to wear at their Chicago event. Of course, we all found things we didn't go in looking for, but that is the point of shopping, right? We had another BBQ dinner on Sunday, this time Steen & I made the 'Rents our delicious marinaded filet mignon. Tasty!

Monday morning we went to what used to be Elmer's in at the Shiloh Inn. A word to the wise... avoid the new place. I hate to be a downer, but it was gross: cold eggs, bad service, bitter coffee, soggy waffles, well... I'm hard pressed to come up with a compliment for the place. Bummer. With sadness that the visit was over, we gave hugs and promised to try to make it up to Oregon for the holidays. Who knows, maybe we will this year. :)
