LuLu came to stay with us for a few days during Spring Break
and Life with her has been a lotta fun!!!
first up - movies!!!
before Melissa and LuLu went to see Power Rangers, they watched the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie at home...

and, of course, they had to watch the original Beauty and the Beast before going to the new Beauty and the Beast movie...
all that movie watching led to empty bellies, so there was a trip to Red Robin and to P.F. Chang's...
LuLu was not impressed with either...
she is the only second-grader i know who doesn't eat junk food...
no fries, no chicken nuggets, no ranch dressing, no mac & cheese, no hamburgers...

| no grilled chicken?!? seriously?!? |

yeah, it would be quicker to list what she WILL eat at a restaurant:
grilled chicken and fresh fruit

when we came back home, i made pancakes so she wouldn't fade away...
next up was the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the special exhibit - Vikings - that Melissa really, really, REALLY wanted to see...
we thought that tuesday would be the museum's slowest day
and so did everybody else
and their neighbors...
the museum is next to the zoo and, since it was raining outside, the zoo-goers decided to be museum-goers - it was SO CROWDED...
even with the crowds, the Viking exhibit was excellent
and we had a lotta fun spending money in the gift shop, too...

This post just made my day, I"m so excited to see Lulu again. When did her legs get sooooo loooong? It must be all that grilled chicken and fruit. What a fun week, you definitely made the most of every minute.
ReplyDeleteWow, Lulu, you have shot up and grown even more gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI want Lulu and Melissa to plan a week for me! They know how to have a great time. So glad you got to be included. What wonderful young women you have in your life!
ReplyDeleteAWEEE how nice that you got to spend time with Lulu!! She is getting so TALL!! I love that you let her play with your Ruby! (she must be a favorite!). I think I need to try some of that cake too. Hey, I have Viking blood in my line, now I want to go to the exhibit!! Looks like fun was had by all!!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fabulous fun spring break!!! I am so jealous of all the fun & PF Changs & cake. Lulu is growing up so fast and becoming an excellent quilter. The Viking exhibit sounds amazing. I already have a helmet that I could wear ;)
