Jessica's visit.

We had so much fun with Jessica this week. It was like we had a little piece of home with us for 7 days straight! It was great! I especially enjoyed having someone older than 4 to talk to all day everyday. Here are some of the highlights of our week.... We went to one of our favorite parks and had a BBQ.... We took the kids to see a movie while Jeremy was at mutual (they only lasted an hour... but it was still fun!) She was so nice to the kids and took them to Wal*Mart to pick out their own toy. They are still talking about her today! In fact... as I type this Gracie saw the picture of her and said, "Hey! That's Jessica!" (I told you she liked you!) We were able to go see all the sites in Kirtland together (without Lincoln and Gracie which made it even more enjoyable... thanks Anna and Melanie for baby-sitting for us!) We ate lunch at the bakery.....

...twice! Jessica fell in love with it! Jeremy and I decided that we should be going there far more often because it's incredible! We should be taking advantage of it while we're here. She got to see the joys of Friends Fun Night while we took our turn watching all the kids. We even decorated cupcakes with them! That was loads of fun! We went to one of my favorite places... Shaker Lakes... and even saw two deer sneaking the birds food! The kids thought the deer were super cool... it was fun to see them up close! We even took a trip downtown to see some of the sites down there. There was all sorts of Tribe Fever since our Cleveland Indians are doing so well! The highlight of the trip was our weekend in New York... I tried to do the blogs in reverse order so you can scroll down and read all about it! :)
