Parents' Getaway

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

For Hanukkah, Grandma and Papa paid for a Parents' Getaway deal that through Plum District for the Horseshoe Bay Resort.  The deal included two nights at the hotel, dinner for two one night, breakfast both mornings, a massage for each of us, and dessert delivered to the room each night.  So Grandma and Papa came on Friday afternoon when Rachel was picking Noah up from school.  Noah was very happy to see them when he got back.  Then everyone except for me walked to pick Evan up from school.  When they returned, Rachel and I packed up the car and left.

Grandma and Papa took Evan and Noah to Mangieri's for dinner.  They had tried to go to Waterloo Ice House but there was an hour wait.  The boys ate well.  Evan informed Grandma and Papa that there was an ice cream place next to Waterloo.  So they went there afterwards.  The boys got bubblegum ice cream but then decided they didn't like it.

On Saturday morning, they went to Dick Nichols Park.  They walked around the trail there which is about a mile. Noah and Evan each walked.  Then they went to Circle C Park for a picnic lunch.  The boys played on the playground there.

For dinner they went to Cheddar's.  They were seated fairly quickly.  The waiter came and took their order.  When the food was delivered, Grandma's food was wrong.  They took it back to get her the right meal.  Unfortunately, everyone finished their food and she never got her meal.  The manager, apparently, took a while to handle the situation right.  At first she wanted to "comp" the meal - which made no sense considering the meal had yet to be delivered.  Eventually they got the food to go.

Today, Gabby came to take care of Evan and Noah while Grandma and Papa went to Hillel.  Everyone got home around the same time - about 3pm today.

I made pasta for dinner for the boys and me.  We called the boys down for dinner and only Evan came.  Noah threw a fit and didn't want to come down.  Eventually it go quiet upstairs.  Noah feel asleep in the game room.  After dinner, we tried to move Noah to his bed but he woke up in a terrible mood.  Evan is in bed now, but Noah is downstairs eating his dinner.

Until next time...
