What a weekend!

     This past weekend is one we won't soon forget!  It flew by in a flash but man was it fun, one of the funniest weekends of the summer, and we didn't even leave the South Hill!  It all started with a round of golf with dad and a couple of coworkers on Friday afternoon in perfect weather!  I told dad I love this time of year as the weather is perfect for golfing, I probably play more golf in September and October than I do all summer.  When the golf was over Kelli and I went to a potluck desert game night and social that was held for an adoption agency(that's another story for a different time:), and it was held at a church on the south hill that we've been to a few times.  There was a great group of people there and we had a really fun time playing Scategories and sampling just about every desert there!

     Saturday brought with it a date night with our niece Tatum!  Jill was out of town running her second half marathon of the year so Kelli and I decided it would be a perfect weekend to babysit T for a night.  The last outdoor movie of the season at the Shop in the Perry district was Frozen and unless you've been under a rock most of the year you understand how popular that movie is with kids.  So Ryan dropped T off for our date around 5 and we went down to Perry Street Pizza for dinner, followed by some time in the park, then the movie.  Of course we spoiled the crap out of her, that's our duties as godparents, so she had some ice cream, popcorn, candy, and face paint, all in one night!!  As the movie drew to a close Tatum started to get cold so I held her in my arms and she fell asleep before it was over.  As I carried her back to the car while Kelli lugged all of our chairs, I could only imagine how much fun she had!  

     

     We didn't get home until 11 so we quickly got ready for bed and hit the sack.  Tatum was really excited to sleep in a "real person bed" cause as she put it, she likes to squirm around while she sleeps:).  The next morning we got up around 7, got ready for the day and went to Rockwood Bakery for breakfast, and some more spoiling!  Tatum had a cinnamon roll and a kids mocha, also known as hot chocolate, and once we were good and sugared up we took her back home.  All in all if she had half the fun we had it was a fantastic weekend!  We can't wait for our next date night:)

     Then we capped the weekend off by taking our babies, Kashi and Duchess to the Comstock pool for the annual doggie dip.  The city pools open up to dogs on the last day of the year for what was probably the coolest thing we've ever been involved with for the dogs!  There were so many dogs there the pool resembled the pool in Caddyshack on caddy swim day, including a couple brief evacuations for turdie removal, and every dog there seemed to be in heaven!  Kashi just roamed around the pool trying to meet new friends, and Duchess dove in repeatedly after her tennis ball, each time returning it to my feet with a look of pure joy in her eyes!  I think both of them could have died right then and been completely satisfied, life could not get much better than it was in that moment!

Remember, some of the most memorable times in life come when you least expect it!
