Perfect.
I decided to leave Petunia home with Luke and I took the boys for some special time together. Luke was also looking forward to having some alone time with "Jig Wig."
The boys and were going to drive down ourselves but last minute decided to ride with a friend of mine --who was also leaving her hubs and kids behind.
Even though we had to leave the house by 6:30am, the car ride down was very entertaining! :)
We dropped the boys off at the temple apartments for their activity at 8:30am.
Our temple session started at 9:30am after the 9am chapel session.
We made sure to take lots of pictures to send to Luke and Petunia through the day.
Just arriving to the primary activity. It was a little chilly this early in the morning!
Bubba has his name tag on and he is ready to go!
After our temple session and on our way to get the boys.
The boys had a GREAT time.
Next stop: Sprinkles Cupcakes. The temple is on Santa Monica Blvd. and only a 5-10 minute drive from this bakery....so we had to go!
These nice ladies were sitting out front with their delicacies and were nice enough to take our picture together.
Tubbs got a milk chocolate cupcake and Bubba wanted a vanilla with milk chocolate frosting. We mixed his up with the peanut butter cupcake that looked similar, but he didn't mind. It was so good....of course.
I took it "easy" this trip and only brought home a half dozen cupcakes....as opposed to my normal 1 1/2 dozen!! :) (You have no ideas how hard it was!)
YUMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!
Next Stop: Cafe Rio.
Another friend from church gave us this tip and we knew they were heading over.... so we thought we would give it a try. (We ate at a Cafe Rio once when we were in Salt Lake City last year and it was pretty good, but I couldn't remember much about it.)
This time around...its was un-beeeee-liev-able. I was talking to Luke about it for DAYS!
This is what I had:
I was trying to get a good picture of it, and I know it looks like a bunch of lettuce, but there was plenty of shrimp....and the homemade flour tortilla was warm.....and the best I've ever had.
The boys decided they would rather have Mickey D's on the way back home so they sipped on beverages and listened to Joy make jokes. They were very entertained and were telling "Joy Jokes" and comments days later as well. Thanks Joy! Haha.
I think Tubbs was entertained the most. He loved asking Joy questions and laughing at her questions.
Sending kisses home to Luke and Petunia.
If you are ever in southern California you have to go to find a Cafe Rio.
Trust me. (It was only a 10 minute drive from the temple).
Finally--after the boys took a little cat nap in the back sewe stop in Gormanat so the boys can eat! They now have a "Mini McFlurry" so they ate that first! (Of course)
A perfect day!
Thank you Joy for spending the day with us and chauffeuring us around all day. I had a great time visiting with you and I know the boys did too!!
We missed Daddy and Petunia though and we were so happy to see them at the end of the day.
