We started the weekend off by going to the Rein's for a bonfire. It was hotter then hot, but hey, you gotta party with friends whenever you can! Dave even brought his TV outside for me so I could enjoy the Vikings 1st pre-game on the HD. It was a fun but late night.
After hearing that our friends Kim and LeAnna had completed their 1/2 marathon Saturday morning (Way to go girls!!), we were ready for the Helgets to come and spend the weekend! Dar and Mary had a wedding to go to in town, so Russ and I babysat while they enjoyed the wedding. The kids were so excited to have their "cousins" (2nd cousins really, but that doesn't matter to Trent and Addy) to themselves all weekend long! They swam in the pool, set up a cool train track and Star Wars battle in the basement, and played PS2. Late night for bedtime and they all slept over in Trent's room.
Sunday, Mary and I left Dar and Russ in charge and headed to the outlet to do some back to school shopping. We didn't think we would be gone for 5 hours, but yep, we were! Got some great deals and enjoyed each other's company and the fact that we did not have to do it with any of the kids around!! Meanwhile, the guys took the kids to Twin Lakes Beach & lake for some boating and beach fun. They had a great time and hated saying good-bye at the end of the weekend. But, they both fell exhausted into bed last night, so I know they wore themselves out with all the fun :)
