40-7 Birthday and Visit from Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa M. decided that they wanted to come to visit for Lance's 40th and Allie's 7th Birthdays and to see our new house. We had a fun visit with them. We picked them up on Saturday at LAX and drove to Orange County to meet Grandma and Grandpa S. Jamie& Dave and Jill's & Robert's families at the new Cafe Rio. It was wild with all the kids but fun to get everyone together. On Sunday we went to church and then Allie got to open her second round of presents and have birthday cake. On Tuesday we went to Lego Land in Carlsbad on the hottest day of the year so far. The kids had fun and the adults had a sort of fun. Lance wasn't able to go with us because he had to work but we took a picture with Lego Dad as we were leaving. After Lego Land, Lance's sister Jill invited us to her house for dinner to celebrate Kyle's birthday while we waited out the traffic. We got to see G&G S. and cousins again which was a bonus. On Wednesday, we recovered from Thursday and didn't do anything. We did try and make fish and chips because it was St. Patrick's day and we are Irish. Not a good idea. We set the smoke alarm off in our house and the fish was still raw in the middle. Not my best cooking day. On Thursday G&G had to go home. We went to In N Out for an early dinner and then to the airport. What a fun visit. After we dropped them off, Allie said "I'm not even going to cry this time because I know we are going to visit them for Spring Break."
