CODY BIRTHDAY PLUS MORE VISITORS!

I unexpectedly got the week off of work last week and as soon as I found out I called my parents and they booked flights to come out and see us. It worked out perfectly because we have been trying to find a good time for them to come out for a few months now...so yay! And it just so happens that they came out the same week of Cody's birthday so we partied all week! My mom flew out on Wednesday morning and my dad flew out on Thursday night. My mom and I spend the first couple of days shopping and hanging out and then when my dad got in and Cody got time off work the shopping came to a halt. So here are some pics from our fun week!
Cody's birthday dinner! I have kind of made a tradition of taking him to the Melting Pot every year. He loves it! It is his all time favorite so I know I can't go wrong by taking him there. Soooo good!
On Saturday we headed up to the city to do a little sight seeing and hanging out. We went into a store to get a sweatshirt for my mom and we found these hats so we had a photo shoot.
My mom is hilarious!!!
Later we went on the Rocket Tour again. We love it. We always laugh so hard!
Me and my dad waiting in line. His favorite!
Even though we look dorky we wore the ponchos they gave us. We got so soaked last time. They don't tell you you'll get wet unless you ask.
After we walked up to Ghirardelli Square to get ice cream. I guess some of us were tired. Both Cody and my dad fell asleep sitting up. So funny!
That night we went to a show called Teatro ZinZanni. You HAVE to go if you ever get the chance. It was so fun! It is sort of hard to explain exactly what it is but it is kind of like Cirque Du Soleil. They called on Cody to be a volunteer and he ended up being on the stage for almost 30 minutes! It was so funny! The show was 3 hours long and they served us a 5 course dinner. VERY VERY fun!
Thanks mom and dad for coming out to see us! We love you!

I seriously love seeing your parents...brings back the memories! Looks like you had fun with them there! I really want to come see you, but sorry, it might be minus the kiddos!

What a fun trip! Ahhh! I want to go!

Also, with The Host, it took me a long time to get into it too. The ending was cool and I was happy I read it though. I hate when I can't get into books. Stick with it May may!
