Gramma Rue came for a short visit this weekend. She flew in after class on Thursday and it ended up being pretty low key because Kenna was sick :( On Friday we went to the new Olive Garden in Ankeny. We expected a crowd, but it took us 15 minutes just to find parking! We wrangled the kids in, and luckily Gona and Baca had written their names down, so the wait wasn't long once we got inside. The service was far better than the grand opening of the olive garden in seattle! Josh and I had to wait over 2 hours there :)
--Happy Birthday Baca!--

On Saturday we had planned to go do some fun things, but Kenna woke up with the flu. She continued to feel yucky throughout the day. That night Josh and I went to his company's party. It was quite fun, as the entertainment picked on him a little. They hired a couple to sing 70s songs, and at one point they pulled Josh up in front of his whole company and she (actually a guy dressed in drag) proceeded to give him a lap dance...I must admit I found it quite hilarious!
We ate dinner, and Josh stayed after to dance and sing karoke. Sunday Kenna didn't feel much better, so we just stayed inside and played. Monday we both had to work, so Gramma Rue stayed home and played with the kids.
On Tuesday we had quite the storm come in. Apparently the entire midwest was under snow. Gramma Rue's flight was cancelled, which ended up working out nicely because Kenna was still feeling under the weather. I got out of school early, but we did make it to the airport later that night, and Gramma Rue made it home okay! It probably wasn't the fun trip she had in mind, but the kids had a good time!
