A Weekend of Goodbyes

So as I have mentioned before our good friends the Millers are moving (well now they moved but I'm trying to stay positive). 

They left yesterday so Ryan and I offered to watch their kids on Friday so that they could get some packing done and then attend the general graduate graduation without kids.

We took Cooper and Lynndon to the park, Lake Mendota to feed ducks, and to Ella's Deli for ice cream. 

It was weird going from having no kids to having two kids but it was a lot of fun.

Cooper loved these rocks and he made sure everyone had one to sit on. 

Ella's Deli is pretty crazy inside.  It has all of these motorized toys traveling across the ceilings.  All the tables have displays inside them.  There is plenty to look at.  Cooper and Lynndon loved it!  After Cooper was so excited to ride on the carousel but when it came time to get on a horse he got scared.  First he said Ryan could sit on his lap and then he said they should just ride on the bench.  Ryan said if he'd known they were going to ride on the bench then Lynndon could have come but she enjoyed waving to Cooper and sticking her head in between the fence posts.

Saturday morning we slept until 11:00 am.  We have never done that.  I guess you can say we aren't quite ready for two kids.  Haha, Ryan said we should have done less park and more movies to conserve energy.  Saturday was Bret's graduation BBQ and then on Sunday we had to say goodbye to the kids because Bret's parents were taking them up to Appleton so all the final moving preparations could be kid free.  Ryan also had to say goodbye to Bret and Charise that night because he started his internship Monday morning.  The Millers spent the night at our apartment Monday night and left Tuesday evening.  It was so sad to see them go but I'm glad we had the chance to get to know them.  We wish them the best in New Mexico!
