Over the river and through the woods......

About once a month, Carlos works all weekend at the Northwest Health Systems (Springdale Hosptial) as a hospitalist. He is pretty busy during this time and so sometimes, we go away to visit people. This weekend, we hopped in the car and went on up to Bella Vista, AR to visit Gigi Rich and Gigi Lu. We had a blast. We got to their house (after getting lost) at about 10:00 on Saturday morning. We played, read books, ate snacks and got lots of hugs. We took a trip to our favorite store, "Helping Hands." Joaquin had a few major meltdowns while we were there when someone bought the play car that he was riding in. He ended up skipping lunch that day and taking a REALLY great nap because he was so tired. We watched a bit of basketball (my Grandma is a huge fan), went to a great Mexican restaurant (Joaquin ended up pouring a bowl of salsa on his lap...so fun :) ), and Joaquin even was able to get the mail with Gigi Lu. Sunday morning we played quite a bit before church. I sadly didn't get any pictures, but Gigi Rich and Joaquin played for a long time at the tool bench. He LOVED it. We went to Judson Baptist Church (where a sweet lady offered to watch Joaquin during the service) and then we went to eat Chinese food for lunch. It was so fun to have a sleepover with them. We will hopefully have many of those in the future. Thanks Gigi Rich and Gigi Lu for letting us visit this weekend!
