It looked a little bit (lot!) like a dive! :-) It actually had pretty good food and it had a beautiful view of the Illinois River.
Saturday morning Megan and Andy shopped for granite while I watched Drew and Kayley. That evening Andy grilled delicious marinated chicken breasts, followed by the Iowa-Penn State game. We won easily so it was a fun game to watch, nothing to get nervous about!
Megan bought Kayley a Super Girl outfit for Halloween and she is hoping that Drew will wear his Thomas the Train costume from last year that he refused to wear! Drew is not "in to" wearing costumes so I am betting he refuses, but I hope not.
Sunday afternoon we went to Tanner Orchard. This place was unbelievable! When we arrived there was a LONG line waiting just to enter their market. It was well over an hour wait. Thankfully we just wanted to take Drew and Kayley to their playground so that was a quick entrance. The playground cost $7 to enter, even the adults that are just going in to watch their children. They have quite a "racket" going on there. Fortunately old people 55 and over were free. I do believe that is the first time my age has worked well financially for me. :-) It really was a fun time for the kids but Drew would have been happy if we only visited the pedal tractor area the entire time. He does love riding those. We had a very good time and we were glad we took them.
Monday morning it was back to work and daycare so I said goodbye and headed back to Iowa. It was a melancholy trip. The longest I have ever been separated from them is two weeks and now it will be seven weeks before I see them at Thanksgiving. :-(
Two videos from my week-end:
