Mini Blog #5 - Surprise Lopez Family!

So, this weekend was spent surprising my parents! It went wonderfully! Mom and Dad were shocked that the kitchen was done - and pleased that they weren't the ones who had to help do it!!!
Here are the faces that we caught when they walked into the kitchen.

Dad whistled!

My mom just kept saying, "They're already up! They're already up!"


Marci, John, and the girls came too! All the cousins knew just what to do - break out the toys and play!!!



And when Gus got home from work (unfotunately he had to work that morning), we all headed to the Rainforest . . . Water Park that is!

Pops took Elena down the water slide - sort of - they got stuck in the slide!!! The line even got backed up a little!!! It was hilarious!!!

Even Augie tried it out . . . he really didn't know what to think.

Elena and Alexa, I think, had the most fun!!! John said it was worth it just to see the look on Elena's face when we walked in!



Sunday, we headed to church, had some scrumptious lunch at the house (Gus made us Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches), and had a hard time convincing Elena that it was time to go home. :(
Alexa called me "Isa" after calling me "Anna" all weekend!

And we finally got Elena in the car when we told her we were going to a new store that had a kid's play area! She LOVED that!!!

And so did Augie!




Augie's really going to miss having the extra kiddos to play with this week! We always have SO much fun with the family . . . can't wait 'til we're all closer . . . 2 more years to go . . . minimum!
