March Madness Part III

When we were done with the park, we headed to Chick Fil A for lunch. Now, CFA is barely five minutes from the park, but that's all the time it took for Owen to pass out.


























He woke up from his little catnap hungry, though, and in a great mood considering how tired he was and how brief his rest was.


























I couldn't believe it, but Owen and Lyla still had energy to burn after we ate so we spent some time in the CFA playground.













The CFA slide was slick, and EVERYone enjoyed their ride down.











































Finally, it was time to go back to the house and pack everything up. As we were putting shoes on, Lyla sat on the McHusband's lap and he teased her by blowing on her head. She laughed and it was so cute, but by the time I got the camera ready, she was done with that game.


The McHusband and I did our best to keep Owen and Lyla occupied so my mom, Shannon, and Amy could gather all their belongings and pack the van up.

Lyla and the McHusband went out into the backyard.













Then Morgan and I joined them, and Lyla practiced her bossing around. I think the look on Morgan's face is best summed up as "Huh?"













She tried to get Lyla to play HER way.













Suffice it to say, neither of them was too successful in getting the other to play her way.

It was a great weekend and it was wonderful to spend so much time with Owen and Lyla (and of course with Mom, Shannon, and Amy, too). They grow so much in between visits.

{The babies, not Mom, Shannon and Amy.}

I'm meeting up with Bri, Lyla, Mom, Shannon and Owen in a couple of weeks. We're going to the zoo in Asheboro, which should be a blast. I'm really excited to see how Lyla and Owen react to all the animals, and I hope they sorta remember me and warm up quickly when we all get together. I know I'll never be on Gma's level, but an aunt can hope. :)

A big round of applause and thanks to Chic Fil A for entertaining ALL the kids in the play area -- Owen and Lyla sure enjoyed sharing it with "the big girls"!

For sure, there was a lot of fun packed in a relatively short period of time!
