Yesterday was our first full day visiting family in Malone. In the morning, I took the kids down to the hotel breakfast buffet. The food was yummy, and included fresh Cinnabon cinnamon rolls. The kids were a big fan of all of it....the fluffy scrambled eggs, the fruit, the cereal, etc... We have yet to hit the indoor pool, but we'll go in it at some point, or else I'll never hear the end of it. The kids are asking me multiple times a day!!
After breakfast, we did a trip to Walmart for ingredients, and then we headed over to Mom's (Angie) house to hang out for the day. I got started right away on making coffee cream cheese cupcakes. It was my way to show some love (through baking), and it also keep me busy, since I don't stay idle very well. The cupcakes came out pretty good, and they were much appreciated by everyone. Brad attempted to fix Mom's carpet cleaner, but it wasn't going to work without some major surgery beyond what could be done at that time.

We had Jrecks for lunch...as if there were any doubt. LOL.
Later in the afternoon, Mom had a houseful....Aunt Norma brought Brad's grandmother, Beulah over to visit, and Brad's brother Jason, SIL Heather, and their daughter, Madison arrived from their house 3 hours away. We also got to meet Mom's boyfriend, Tommy. He's a hard worker...very quiet, very kind, and quite obviously smitten with Mom. It was great to see everyone together, and chatting, laughing, and enjoying Mom's spaghetti for supper.

And then before we knew it, it was 8:00pm and it's back to the hotel to put the kids to bed. Day 4 is a trip to the local fair! Stay tuned!!
