We finally made it to Matt's dad's house around 5 pm. We sat and talked for a while, and then Jean made us dinner. It was a Publix Apron's meal (balsamic pork chops) and it was good. Earlier that day they had a hockey player come look at their house (obviously it's for sale), and they found out he was coming back again the next day. Unfortunately it didn't get on the short list to come back again. We went to an ice cream place for dessert. It was good ice cream, but the mosquitoes were looking for dessert, too, so we didn't stay long.
Saturday morning we hung out at the house. Brittany was heading out to spend the weekend with some friends out of town and shortly after she left we went out to lunch. It was a good sandwich shop and they have a lot of sauces and dry goods that you can buy, and their desserts looked delicious! The sandwiches are huge, though, and I can't imagine having dessert, too. We probably could have shared sandwiches, so we'll know better if we go back.
After lunch we went to Matt's mom's house. Mimi and Gramps were already there. It was nice that they were able to get some time with Robbie before everyone got there. After playing inside for a while, we put on our swim suits and headed down to the pool. The pool area was set up for a baby shower, but the people there were nice and the kids that were in the pool were well behaved. Robbie ended up taking a nap with Barbara. When he woke up we headed out to the beach. The timing couldn't have been better because Jonathan and Chat were just getting the kids out of the car. We walked across the street to the beach (how nice is that?!) and stayed for a little while. Matt, Barbara and Robbie left early to get dinner for Robbie. The rest of us didn't stay too much longer because we were getting hungry too. When we got back, Monett and Gary and Brigette and Mark were there. Jonathan also recognized Kim because she goes to his Chick-fil-a. It was a nice evening.
Sunday morning we picked up my Grandma and took her over to my aunt and uncle's house for lunch. It's kind of a joke that whenever Matt and I come to town Barbara and Jack leave. Barbara asked what we wanted for lunch. I told her she could serve anything she wanted as long as she made her mac and cheese. We also had ham, fruit salad, corn on the cob and baked beans. Yum! Jill and Ryan were there, too, though Ryan went down for a nap shortly after we got there. It was so nice to visit with them. Usually we're with a much larger group of family and don't get a chance to talk. Robbie was in a great mood and loved the toys Barbara brought out for him. We planned to leave when Robbie was tired so he would sleep in the car figuring it would be sometime around 1:30. It was closer to 2:30 when he started rubbing his eyes. I can't guarantee that we didn't wear out our welcome, but at least they didn't show it! :) We hadn't gone but a few blocks before he fell asleep in his car seat. He slept most of the way home.
I didn't really take pictures this weekend, but here are a few of Robbie's first trip to the beach.
