Beaches & Cream

Yesterday (4/14/2007) I went on another awesome adventure with Memry and her adorable children (and a few other children). We went to Disney's Beach Club Resort for burgers and ice cream at the Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. This fifties themed soda shop is the home of the famous "Kitchen Sink Sundae" that includes every flavor of ice cream in the place AND a kitchen sink!

So... if you know Memry you know she had to "Scrapbook" this whole trip. we ordered the famous KITCHEN SINK SUNDAE. It was presented to our table with flashing lights and an announcement bellowed across the soda shop by our server and everyone cheered. It was too cute! The kids were in awe of the whole presentation, let alone the enormity of the sundae itself. And let me just say that this sundae was impossible (for even 4 kids and 2 adults) to finish. It had every flavor of ice cream imaginable, brownies, muffins, angel food cake, candy bars, oreos, bananas, strawberries, chocolate/peanut butter/caramel/butterscotch syrups, whipped cream, nuts, cherries, and much MUCH more!

We had an awesome time! It was pretty far to drive for just ice cream, but the experience made it worth the effort. If you are ever in the area you have got to go eat at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop!

Good Times!

So my cousin came to spend the weekend with me. It was a lot of fun. I really enjoy spending time with her especially since we have so much in common. It brings me so much joy to be able to connect with someone in my family. I find it amazing how we spent many years pretty much out of immediate contact and somehow ended up on the same page…WEIRD!

We were blessed to have been able to take our younger cousin, Jessica, shopping on Saturday. Jessica is expecting her first child in June. (I’m SO JEALOUS!!!) We took her to buy “maternity” clothes. It was neat that NONE of the clothes we bought were maternity. The style now is so blousy that she didn’t have to get maternity. How cool is that?

Anyhow, we (Michelle and I) had a great time; lots of great fellowship together. I don’t really attend church much anymore… so it was nice to discuss my stressors with Michelle and get her feedback on it. I really love her and thank God she is close enough to me now to be a bigger, more involved, part of my life. :)

Michelle is Coming!

My favorite cousin, Michelle, is coming to stay with me this weekend. I am VERY excited that she is coming. We have a fun weekend planned! We are going scrapbooking on Friday night at Memry's house. Saturday morning, if we are coherent, we are going with our moms and our cousin, Jessica (she's having a baby soon), to buy Jessica some items she needs since she is pregnant. That is going to be so much fun! Anyhow, the girly times we will have this weekend are much needed especially since we work so much. It is nice for all of us to get a break and enjoy one another. :) I will write more after my weekend...
