After we said our good byes to my family in Modesto on New Years day we headed up to Stockton to stay at Spencer's brothers house for the night. My sister in law Angie had invited all her sisters to come to her grand opening of a Jazzercise in Stockton on Saturday January 2nd. I really wanted to support her in this and we decided since we would be in Modesto on Friday why not just make a weekend of it and go to Stockton. Friday night was crazy at Brian and Angie's! They had their family of 6 at there house and then Angie's sister Linda and her family of 6 and then our family of 4 all under one roof. It was pretty wild but a lot of fun. Spencer made chocolate chip cookies for us all, Angie and Linda were very impressed with my mans baking skills. After staying up way to late talking and watching movies we all called it a night. Saturday morning we woke up really early for the grand opening. It was so much fun. We did an hour work out at the new studio which was beautiful. There were 5 different instructors one being Angie. It was really fun seeing in her element and trying a new work out routine. I likes it a lot but I think I still like my running a little more. All Angie's blood sisters came to support her and then for the sister in laws it was just Susan and I.
Lynelle, Susan, me, Angie, Nancy and Linda
After our work out we went to a brunch at Bj's and then did a little shopping. Then we went back home and got ready for the BYU vs. Stockton basketball game that Brian got us tickets for.
It was really fun going to a sporting event with a big group. It was also fun for the kids to see a big time basketball game since they were starting basketball later that week.
After the game we decided that we wanted to go to Ikea really bad and since it was only 40 minutes away why not just go for it. The kids love the play area at the Sacramento one. It was nice because it felt like a mini date with my hubby shopping around without the kids. We really wanted to get a few more organization things so it was a much needed trip.
After shopping oh and dinner before that at Five Guys the last thing we wanted to do was drive 2 hours home so we did a super spontaneous mini vacation. We saw a beautiful Hampton Inn and suites across from Ikea and the comfy hotel beds were calling our names. The kids thought it was the coolest thing! They called it our crazy hotel night.
Once we got checked in we decided we needed treats so we headed over to Krispy Kreme's and to a huge 7/11 that had every candy and soda you could think of. We went a bit crazy and had a super fun sugar rush night!
and then we crashed!!
It was such a fun wild night! The next day we didn't want the fun to end so on the way home we stopped in Modesto to jump at the Rockin Jump. The kids love that place. Spencer wasn't feeling that well so he watched and took pictures.
They have a rock wall there now which was lots of fun.
Carter's favorite area was the dodge ball. He was super good at it. All the adults were laughing at how good he was and how long he would stay in the game. He could have stayed in there for hours.
After jumping we made it home safe and sound and got ready for school and work to start the next day. What a great treat this weekend was for us.
