Our Tuachan tickets have been a great and fun Christmas gift that we have been able to use throughout the years to spend time together and get to spend extra time with my parents. We went to Frozen in early summer and then push our last 2 shows into one weekend so the kids wouldn't miss more school or soccer. It was a fun long weekend seeing Anastasia and Jersey Boys. Thursday night we got there just in time to unload and have dinner with my parents before heading to our first show. It was a warm night with a night breeze.
Friday morning we had breakfast and helped my mom by organizing the toy closet and pantry before heading over to see Andy and Ari and hang out with them at the pool. Andy ended up having to work so I felt bad for Matt he was stuck with us but he didn't seem sad about it. He played with the kids while Ari and I visited.
Friday night we had made plans to got to dinner with Andy and Ari and my parents said they would keep the kids. I have missed feeling comfortable leaving the kids with someone that I know would be able to handle a situation if it needed to be. Liam said he was happy to stay with his Papa. I love the relationship my kids have with my parents and that they really feel safe and loved when they are with them.
Matt and I headed to date night....its been a long while. The view was incredible. We went to Cliffside and it overlooked the entire city. The food was amazing and I'm still craving the calamari that we had. The conversation is easy with Andy and Ari so its always fun to get together.
Saturday the girls went out and did some shopping looking for pool stuff for Florida but didn't find much other than Hallie was thrilled to find her some sweater. Then on the way back we decided we would go to my parents favorite Mexican restaurant and then out to ice cream. So nice to have some one on one time with my parents.
Then back to the pool for some more swim fun but I didn't take nay pictures. This trip was different because all of our kids are now confident swimmers and that made it easier to enjoy.
Then a quick dinner and off to Jersey Boys. Another beautiful night
Jersey boys was the first show at Tuachan that we have been to that we had no idea of the story line. It was better than I expected and I think it was actually my favorite show of the year. It was funny when we sat down there was not another kids in sight. Mostly older people here to watch a story of something they lived thru but the kids really enjoyed it as well. It was about 30 minutes shorter than Anastasia and that was really nice that it wasn't so late
Sunday morning we got up and headed home. I love creating new ways to make memories with our kids. I love this man that is my partner in crime and the one I can't wait to have come home every day.
