Watched: Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul with Jack on Tuesday before we headed home from KC. We just had an awkward amount of time to kill and the movie filled it perfectly. I am surprised to see it rated so poorly on IMDB. I thought it was pretty funny and was a family friendly version of National Lampoon's Vacation. It was hard to see Alicia Silverstone looking so old as the mom! I'm sure I look just like I did when she was starring in Clueless. Not sure why she is looking older. Must have been good make-up artists. ;)
Read: I finished up The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir. This book was probably more like a 3.5 for me. The beginning was phenomenal and drew me. Towards the end, I felt she started getting pretty cyclical and didn't really know how to conclude the story. You can definitely feel her passion and pain on the pages of the book. Next I tried to start Still Life, which is the beginning of my online book club series, but I just couldn't get into it. I started The Best of Adam Sharp, but it isn't really drawing me in either.
Listened: Giggles as Kate and Jack spent the afternoon hanging out. They have so much fun together. They spend about 10 minutes being awkward and then it's right back to normal. We took her to Chuck E Cheese and then out for ice cream at Syla's and Maddy's. I handed them my phone for some reason and they took some hilarious photos and videos. I posted one of Jack that I thought summed them up pretty well. So thankful for their friendship.

Made: A friend cook for me. I really enjoy his food and thought it would be fun for the kids to just all be able to hang out without having to worry about the constraints of a restaurant. He was going to attempt to pay for it and I just couldn't let that fly! We headed to the store while Nick stayed and hung out with the boys. It was a delicious dinner and a great afternoon. I wish we didn't live so far away so we could see them more often than once or twice a year.
Felt: After our fun day of seeing my friend Sarah for lunch and hanging out with Kate, we went over to the Zinn household for dinner. Beth and I set out on the back deck and chatted while the kids hung out inside. They played lots of Wii and talked. At the end of the night, we had mom's and kid's Mario Kart race. It was pretty funny to see all the different level of racers.
Planned: On dividing our Thursday at Elitch's between both the water park and rides, but we decided to just spend the whole day at the water park. The water was a bit chilly, but it was warm enough that you could still get in. Jack and I went right to the thrill water rides and did those all without waiting for a tube. That was a pretty rare treat. I decided to take my phone with me on the lazy river and got some pretty fun pictures.
Loved: Our impromptu night with our friends at an escape room. We failed to escape because we missed a step in the literal directions that we are all skipping over because it just didn't seem an essential step. We also refused to ask for hints because we are stubborn like that. They took a fun picture of us at the end. Then we went out to Iron Bird for beer, pizza, and pretzels. It was an excellent night and just what we needed!
Here are the pics for the week:

Love this face!
The goofs outside of the ice cream shop
Just what was he doing? I think he was showing off his muscular thighs.
Lazy River Selfie
Still Headless!
Oh somehow the story of the giant water balloons didn't make my week recap. But Jack and I had a competition to see who could get more water in a regular balloon and then release it on the other. Nick wasn't game expect for helping with the filling and carrying.
