Fun Times in Lexington

I took this picture of Caroline in the play area at the Fayette Mall in Lexington, and, in a word, it sums up the time we had this weekend: FUN!

One reason we had such a good time on our trip was that we got to spend time with our friends, the Hall family. Jordi & I joined them Sunday morning for church, and then we all met up later for dinner. Here's a picture of Nathan, age 4, (in front) with his younger brother, Tyler, and Jordi, getting into the toy chest at Ramsey's Diner. What a great idea; it kept them occupied so the grown-ups could have an actual conversation! Every restaurant should have one!

What's better than ice cream for dessert? After dinner, we headed over to Graeter's, home of the world's best ice cream. It was Tyler's (red stripe shirt, big grin) 2nd birthday on Monday, so it was nice to celebrate with him a bit early! (BTW, for those of you who know about Jordi's feelings for ice cream, you'll be happy to know she wasn't left out.. that's a cup of whip cream, a.k.a. "hot" ice cream, she's eating!)

Once we finished our dessert, the kids just ran & ran & ran outside. Here's Jordi & Nathan on the "racing" ramp; it was wonderful to see everyone have so much fun in each other's company!

Time for another group picture! You can tell by their faces that they're all still having a great time together. Of course, we adults did, too, and we look forward to visiting again soon!
