out of the house!

the jalandoni family joined us for another fun filled weekend! we actually went out...like out of the house...with just grown ups....to a restaurant...and a casino...it was great!

we did some family outings, too...like to the butterfly gardens...

some kids were ready and willing to have a butterfly interaction...

others were not...


then we took everyone to the leisure pool to wear them out before we left them in the capable teenage hands of the jalandoni children...

that's when the grown ups headed to the dueling piano bar and then to the casino. it had been MANY years since i was at a piano bar...and it just so happened that a friend of the jalandoni's was one of the performers...and when we got there, the table RIGHT in front of the pianos was available...and so we planted ourselves there and enjoyed our time away. dinner out was great, and the side trip at the casino didn't result in job-ending wealth, but was fun nonetheless. i did get a bonus several times on Mr. Lucky, and that alone is worth the trip!

the next day brought a trip to the mall food court for lunch...which for some reason is a favorite of the jalandoni's when they visit...not that they don't live in the land of the mall food court, but for some reason, ours is 'special'.

I have yet to figure out what it is exactly that porter is doing with his beans from taco bell in this picture...

while we were there, i also obliged lilly's long standing request for a hair cut...and got a trim myself.
a busy, and yet, relaxing weekend with friends.
