Mom and Dad in town pt 2

My parent's went back to Utah yesterday and it felt so weird to wake up this morning and not have them at my house. We had a blast having them in town and cannot wait to see them again. Thursday I drove to Galveston and picked my Mom, Dad, and their friends up from the cruise ship. I was pretty scared to make the drive by myself but it turned out to be pretty easy except for the few minutes of insane rain. After picking my parents up we went to Rudy's for lunch (my Dad loves Rudy's and made it a point to go there several times while in town).After spending much of the day Thursday in the car we went home and relaxed for a while and enjoy each others company. Phil was able to get Friday off and we packed the day with fun. My dad loves going to new sporting good stores so we ended up going Academy and Gander Mountain.

My Dad was in heaven at Gander Mountain. Dad with his new Tilley hat.. he was SOOO excited even though he doesn't look like it

A little exhausted from all the driving that day?

After exploring all the fun sporting good stores (I think my Dad and Phil enjoyed them the most lol) we got some good local food at the Rib tickler. Unfortunately we forgot to take pictures of our amazing meals. After running some more errands we watched a good movie, made a final visit to the Nordstrom sale and then made some home made pizza. My Dad is a baker and made an awesome formula (as he would call it) for pizza dough. Growing up I wouldn't eat any other pizza except my Mom's, she of course made the pizza even though my dad wrote the recipe ;). I have always wanted to make the pizza dough but have been too nervous to try it my own so my mom gave me an awesome pizza making lesson.

It was so much fun having them in town. We cannot wait to see them again. I think Rosie is missing them as well, she loved having the extra attention.

Thanks Dad and Mom for coming to visit!! It doesn't matter what we do, we always have fun.
