Whenever we have visitors, we always like to take them to a few of our favorite local spots.
Of course, a visit to Parker would not be complete without dessert at Fro Yo!
Nolan loved explaining how to pick your cup, your flavor, and your toppings!
He goes to town on the toppings that's for sure!
Uncle John was brave enough to get the exact same Fro Yo creation that Nolan got! Nolan, or Leroy, as John calls him, thought it was pretty funny!
The boys eating away at Nolan's favorite place on earth!
We also always like to take our guests to Daniels Park for a picnic, some climbing, and some amazing views!
We got Anthony's Pizza (another family fav) and ate our dinner outside! It was a little windy and happened to be the only chilly evening. But we still had a wonderful time.
We did some exploring...
it was fun to see Trey and Rowan having fun in such a different landscape than they have at home in Michigan!
Even John had child like fun!
Searching for the "perfect rock"!
My guys! Brooks stayed bundled in his carrier!
A pic with my bestie! It was funny because so many people over this week told us that we seemed like sisters- that we looked alike, talked alike, and acted alike. What a wonderful compliment for me because there is nobody else in the world that I would rather be like! This girl has a heart of gold, is a dedicated teacher and a fantastic mother. She seeks to be just like Jesus, is an incredible servant, and is SUPER fun too! Too bad in this photo, she looks adorable and I look like a slob! Oh well!
We snapped some adorable family photos for them before we left!
And finally, on our last night together, we went to another one of Nolan's FAVORITE places..."Pancake World"!!!! (Really, IHOP...the kid LOVES this place! 5 flavors of syrup, what more could a boy want?!)
And hey, kids eat free Monday-Friday nights! Can't beat that!
The kids were soooo great. They ate, and ate, and ate! Check out the Funny Face pancake! Jill and I just laughed as we left the restaurant...we are so in the stage of eating at IHOP! Ha! We are such MOMS! But hey, at least I don't have a mini van! (Just kidding Jiw! You know Mark would buy one in a heartbeat if I let him! Ha!)
And that concludes the Sloothaak Series! We just had sooo much fun, I had to document it all! Our week was busy, and active, and hot! But more than that, it was reconnecting, laughing, loving, and SO special! We made memories that we will never forget!
Thank you Sloothaak family for valuing our friendship, for traveling across the country, for loving our children, and for being so fun! We look forward to seeing you again around Christmas! HUGS!

You are so sweet, my BEST! I have loved re-living our trip through your posts. I still have some more to go! It WAS funny how many people thought we were sisters. But then I thought...of course people think we're like sisters...we ARE sisters in so many ways. Love you!
