We arrived on Saturday and went straight to our hotel to see Nena and Pops! They had just gotten back from a week in Hawaii for their 40th wedding anniversary, so they came bearing PRESENTS from Hawaii!!! We were all spoiled! We played, cracked macadamia nuts in the door jams, jumped on the beds and were wild! After everyone arrived we went to the Wildseed Farms, which is a neat place with tons of wild flowers and more. The kiddos loved throwing rocks in the ponds and even saw a snake in one of them. John and Braidy both learned that cactus are sharp the hard way. Both grabbed one and had little pricklies in their hands. Bet they won't do that again! After that, we headed to one of our favorite places to eat, Bejas Grill! We had our rehearsal dinner there, and we always make it a point to eat there when we visit. Yummy food and margaritas!
The next day we climbed Enchanted Rock. Nena stayed with Quin so he could nap, while the rest of us went. It was a little harder than I remember (granted I'm older and out of shape!) but we finally made it to the top. John definitely won the gold star. He could have made it to the top the fastest if it were a race, and he acted like it was nothin! Oh, to be a kid again! We enjoyed the view, took some photos, Braidy had a couple meltdowns, but realized he likes eating the "prickly pear fruit" on the cactus. It was time to head down...slowly, as it was pretty steep! John and Braidy both took a tumble or 2, but we made it down fairly unscathed! It was worth the hike, such a beautiful view! After a yummy lunch and a quick nap, the boys swam a little while at the hotel.
That night we had a fabulous dinner at the Cotton Gin, to celebrate Nena and Pop's anniversary, and my brother-in-law's birthday that was the next day. We had steaks, seafood, you name it. Definitely the "BEST FOOD EVER"! No, really, it was amazing food!
The next morning we all had to head back home. Quin had slept horribly both nights (he HATES the pack n play) so I was ready to be in our own beds, but sad that the trip was over. We really had an awesome time with everyone! I love getting to see little Noah. He has the sweetest personality and smile....he just makes you happy! Can't wait to see everyone again soon!!!
I give Ryan a hard time because everything he does is the "BEST EVER". For example, Braidy ordered a quesadilla at Bejas, and Ryan said "That is the BEST quesadilla I've ever had!" .... he says that at least once a day. Well, it runs in the family. It must be a Curry thing, because Nena said it a couple of times, as did the brothers, too! So it became a joke all weekend that everything was the "BEST EVER!" Todd sent us a text on the way home saying, "That was the BEST Curry Vacation EVER!!! And he might have been right! =)
