Friends Come Into Town

This past weekend, our friends the Robeys came up for a visit to catch up and relax. (Robey is a fraternity brother, roommate and partner in crime from college days) It was quite a weekend as the house was bustling with kids. Since the weather didn't cooperate as we had hoped, we had kids enjoying any and all activities that we could throw at them. When we last visited the Robeys in the Fall, we were smaller families. Given our recent additions and theirs too, we are now both families of 5. So, you can only imagine the enjoyable chaos that this brings to a house. I also was introduced to a few new things. The first was "The Michael Jackson Experience" for Wii. It is a dancing game and I quickly was reminded that I am not a dancer, I look like a fool when I try and Nancy, their 7 year old, enjoyed beating me....and talking a bit of smack too! We were also introduced to Peanut Butter Pie from Yoder's restaurant in Arcola. Now Yoder's is an Amish buffett that is nothing short of great. But this was my first PB pie and whoa, was it good. The fact that I am blogging about food again is a statement to how good it was. I'm glad the restaurant is 150 miles away or that could quickly become dangerous. Overall, it was a wonderful weekend and also great to have a few extra and willing hands to hold and feed the twins. When we parted ways, we already are looking forward to the next time we see them! Next time, leave the dancing games at home though!
