Minersville, Cinco de Mayo, and screaming babies

We arrived in Minersville, PA on Friday around 3:00 and met Christy, and her children Kalia, Sofiya, and Brittney. Owen immediately loved the jumper Debi had brought. We saw our friends Debi, Will, and Emma, and then met Debi's 2 other lovely daughters, Gabi and Steph. They were so sweet to help us carry our things in from the car. Owen and Henry played with the other babies while we waited for Dawn to arrive. :)



Once Dawn arrived, we had a yummy roast beef dinner made by Debi! The boys slept great in their pack n' plays for the first time.

The next morning, Henry took a turn in the jumper, and loved jumping with his arms through the legholes! He took a nice nap on the bunk bed after jumping for a while. Owen played with his new friend, Max.




Here is my only picture of Mr. Max and Ms. Anna! SUCH cuties:



Saturday afternoon, we decided to take the babies to a special place - the Yuengling factory!! We pushed our strollers up some serious hills to get there, but then the tour wouldn't allow sandals or strollers. So we took some pictures outside, walked around Pottsville, and then went to eat lunch. Henry and Owen had their first taste of ice cream, and just like Mommy, loved it! It got pretty hot for them after this, because we were going in and out of the car, waking them up, etc. so by the time we got home for our Cinco de Mayo celebration, we had a breakdown on all fronts, Mommy included.

Emma and Will:

First, Henry passed out with his drinks and sombrero on. He was so hot, he just had to be naked. Then, we tried to put on our cute colorful onesies Aunt Debi got us, but we were just too upset to pose for pictures. Mommy kept trying, though, and got some lovely shots of our purple faces.

The girls were perfect angels, though! Que princesas!!!

After we finally got the boys down for bed, the rest of us enjoyed a lovely Mexican meal cooked by Brittney, Dawn, and Debi. Yum-O! We enjoyed margaritas, gorditas, flautas, empanadas, and chips and cheese. It was delish!
We had a great time visiting our friends in Minersville and hope we can see them all again soon! Love you all!
Oh, and after the busy weekend, the boys BOTH slept through the night for the first time last night. 7:30PM-6:00AM. Way to go!!
