It's been a great week over here in Roblee-land. First, on Friday we drove down to San Diego to stay with Mike's parents Ralph and Adele. We visited and they gave us some great gifts from their trip to Alaska. Dane got three books out of it, too! Adele made us a lovely dinner and we talked until the wee hours of 9 pm. He he. Saturday, we went to the Roel company picnic at Seaworld. They had a wonderful spread of food and drinks and they gave all of the kids cute little Shamu stuffed animals. Dane had a good time coloring at the picnic (and eating, too) and then we headed out to check out the park. You can see in the pictures that we were smiling the whole time. It was fantastic!
On Sunday we had a pool day and the Piepgrass family showed up! We partied with Noel, Megan, Gunnar and Cooper and had a lovely time. Dane was watching Gunnar constantly like he was his Obi Wan Kenobi or something. It was so cute! He learned how to drink out of a water bottle just by observing his master:)
On Wednesday night, everyone went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate our very good friend Lauren's (Don Corlone - yes, that's how we spell it) 24th birthday. We had an amazing time playing games and competing to see who could get the most tickets! You'll see in the pictures that Dane is not so sure about some of the rides, but it was funny to watch him process all of the craziness.
I know Mike agrees with me when I say that we are so grateful to have friends and family like you in our lives. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of yours, whether through this blog or through events like these. We are so blessed. Thanks to everyone and enjoy! (New videos to the left)
*These pictures are a little out of order, but you get the idea.
