When we all left Disney we made a pact to meet up every year well life happened and the last time we all had gotten together was in 2004! WAY TOO LONG!
A lot has changed since 2004 when we all got together; we were all still living the 20 something lifestyle of clubbing and shopping and had the "living life for me" mentality... So this time was very different...
We have 2 new additions to the group with Maggie and Olivia who are actually just a few months apart in age. And we are expecting a new addition in August the first boy! Samuel I can't wait to meet ya!
Our weekend started with a drive down on Friday. Ida drove down from Minnesota to our place early friday and we left Noblesville around 2 ish... It was great to have the time with her, she is a great companion on road trips! I have to say Kentucky is Paaaaaaaariiiiiiittttttyyy!!! If given the chance I would love to explore Louisville in the future! Anyway by the time we got into Nashville we were all pretty spent so we passed on meeting the rest of the group for dinner... So we didn't start are visit with the whole gang until Saturday.
In lieu of a bunch of site seeing we all celebrated the coming of Samuel and got to be a part of throwing Kate a baby shower! Which meant we got to go shopping!! The baby shower was a surprise for Kate, so Barb headed over to hang out with Kate while we shopped, and then we went to Kate's apartment to hang out with her until it was time to head out for the shower errrr "lunch" which really was lunch but it also was a baby shower at this brewery!
Olivia and Maggie bonding at Kate's!
Kate with her now hubby Jason and one of her favs and mine Eeyore!
After the shower we walked the shops in this area of Nashville! They were very cute shops... except for the Hoarder shop (kitchen gadget/tea shop gone wrong) there were piles of tea and stuff everywhere... no organization to it... just stuff not pretty...
But here is a shot of Maggie trying on a cut hair clip/hat thingy
We stopped at an icecream shop and it turns out they have a baby special "two for tuesdays" We actually didn't notice the sign until after we downloaded all the pics! Priceless!
Sunday we had breakfast at Kate and Jason's it was delicious! Waffles and Omelots!! Yum! Oh and Mimosa's which I didn't take a part in.
Jessica and her daughter O!
Seana and Maggie!
Left to Right Ida, Kate, Jessica, Me, Seana & Barb (I love how my spouse gets to be an honorary member of the group!)Olivia and Maggie in their strollers
On our return trip we took on an extra passenger Jezabel who is now Ida's cat! Jason and Kate decided to give her to Ida since they were expecting a baby and didn't want the cat in the mix. She was a great rider, didn't make a peep the entire trip to Indy! Now I hear there was some issues once she was in Minnesota but they got handled!
What a great trip.... I can't wait for the next one!
