Anneke's Visit from The Great White North...

... Ok, so it's not white right now.  As a matter of fact, I think it's hotter in parts of Canada right now that it is here.
But anywho,
Anneke passed through with her girls on their way to Mexico.  We were so excited to see her and meet her kiddos.  Yes, it's been that long!  I had never even met her girls yet!!!  Time goes so fast.

We had a great time.  We enjoyed a nice lunch at Ri Ra's and then we were off to Discovery Place in uptown.  The kids had a great time playing and exploring all of the stuff they had to offer while we got to catch up.  It was as though no time had passed and we picked up just like we saw each other yesterday.  It was so nice.

We went to dinner at Taco Mac on Fairview Road and then it was time to tuck those girls in.  They had had a long long day and were worn slap out after a day of fun fun fun!
