Friends, Hospital Visit and the Rainforest

We had a fun weekend.  Friday night Nathaniel's friend, Payton came over.  They had a blast together! 





After what seemed to be an endless cold spell (admittedly I am a complete cold whimp now) the glorious sun finally broke through and it was warm enough for some outside fun.  Yesterday we took a walk, hit the park, fed the ducks, and then went to visit Granny.  We are slowly emerging from our sick hibernation state and returning to the land of the living.  Welcome back Spring, we have missed you!  I was so excited to feel the warm sun beat down on us, I did not take any pics outside but did manage to snap a few of Marissa partying until she could not go any more..... 

and one of Nate following the hospital precautions when we visited Granny.  She had a bout of pneumonia beginning last Monday and recently got moved out of ICU.  Thankfully she is doing better now.

 Is he not the cutest little yellow man ever?


Then Saturday night we had quite a treat and went for a pre-Valentine's dinner at the Rainforest Cafe, with the Oberts.  It was the first time we went as a family so we had to go all out ...

 We sat by the elephants
Of course, we had to get the signature dessert:
"VOLCANO!!!!!!!!!!"

Then we had to deal with the after-volcano activity!


Even 'Rissa got her first taste of ice cream.

Then we went on the boat ride


It was great fun!
