My FU (favorite uncle) Bubba, Aunt Kit and cousins Madison and Katharine came to eat a Juicy Lucy .. and visit Craig and I while the girls were on Spring Break! We had a blast during their trip (hopefully they did, too)! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time .. I have some of the goofiest family in the world (most of their comments will be left out of this blog because they say some of the most crazy things!) - I wouldn't trade them for anything though!
The Williams clan arrived on Friday. Months before they were coming I told them to be prepared to meet Bryer. Nobody every believes me when I try and tell them how crazy our dog really is. I don't exaggerate in the least bit, our dog is certifiably CRAZY!
Bub got a Bryer welcome right after he sat on the couch. His quote from Facebook for this picture was "I've trained police dogs and come away with fewer scars." Ladies and gentlemen - HE'S NOT LYING!
That night we started the eating tour of Minnesota. Our first dinner was at Bucca.
Craig and Bub had a candlelit wine date. Aww - how cute!
Crazy girls. I don't think there are any other words to describe those two.
This statue at dinner was a big hit! Katharine couldn't believe that there were naked statues like this one all over the restaurant where people were trying to eat. They thought it was super hilarious so of course there was a picture with the statue! :)
After dinner we came home and played with Craig's PS3. This would be Madison dancing the Soulja Boy and Katharine rapping. I almost peed my pants during this moment.
Bryer LOVED Katharine. Not so sure she felt the same way.
Then we ventured out to the Mall of America! First stop was for Madison to get her ear pierced! Madison was freaking out the entire time as if she were going into labor with her first born child. The lady says "Okay. I will count to three so you will know when it's coming. 1..
"2." This was Madison's face when the lady got to 2. What a goober! :)
Then, instead of shopping until our legs fell off. The girls wanted to ride some rides. Which was pretty cool because I had never even been in the amusement park part of the mall!
The next stop on the eating tour - 5.8 club! They had to try the Juicy Lucy, after all, it was the whole reason they came to Minnesota! :) The Juicy Lucys were a big hit! Later on in the week they also went to Matt's Bar to compare the two hamburgers (I had to work so I didn't get to go) and the overall opinion was that the 5.8 club definitely has the better Juicy Lucy!
We had to do some traditional Easter Egg dying! Guess who was the one that cracked an egg? If you guess Madison - you were correct!
Between the few moments when Bryer wasn't ripping everyone to shreds, he LOVED to lick everyone. This grossed out Kit (it grosses me out, too) but Bub didn't have to bathe the entire time he was here because Bryer licked him so much!
We finally made a trip out to the Cherry and the Spoon! I've never been out there and I've always wanted to go! It was a b-e-a-utiful day on Sunday and the perfect day to just get out and walk around and do some exploring!
For Easter lunch we decided to go to Pizza Luce. The original plan was to go to Burrito Loco, but they were closed :( then we tried Matt's, they were closed, too :( so Pizza it was! Bub decided to get a beer tour! Happy Easter!
After that, we went walking by the Mississippi River to check out everything down there. We got really excited because we saw a boat pulling two things into the locke system. We were all stoked because we thought we were going to get to see something go through the locks. We stood on the bridge and waited.. and waited.. and waited.. and waited.. the boat pulls in and turns around, pulls in and ties something up to the side, pulls in and ties something else up. After about an hour and a half the dang boat pulls in and hooks up - SWEET! Then the stupid boat backs all the way out of the locke system without ever looking back.. grrrr
FINALLY - on Tuesday we got to go to Burrito Loco. It was HEAVEN!
The last stop on the food tour was the Original Pancake House. Bacon Pancakes - YUM!
All of Bryer's entertaining really wore him out. He's done nothing but sleep today! He's bored with Mom and Dad and is missing his new friends. Too bad he chased them away!
I'm so glad that Bub and Kit and the girls got to come experience Minnesota! I love all 4 of you! Thanks for all the laughs! :)
Now .. if I could only get my parents to come visit..
