Shane and I wanted to have one last date night before the baby arrives and our lives are turned upside down again. So my wonderful sister Julie (Boo Boo) volunteered to let Chase spend Saturday and Saturday night at her house (no easy feat since her kiddos sleep in on the mornings and our Chase man wakes VERY early).
We dropped Chase off with Boo Boo, Jay and Roo (Uncle Tory was at work) Saturday around lunch time and then Shane and I headed to the race track in New Orleans. We love watching the horse races and have only been once this year, so we were excited to spend most of the day there on such a beautiful day.
Then we checked into our hotel room downtown and freshened up for a delicious dinner at Mr. B's Bistro. It was so good, but I was worried that Shane was going to have to roll me back to our room. We ate so much, but our eyes couldn't pass up so many yummy items :-)
Sunday morning we slept in (this might have been the best part), had a nice breakfast, got dressed and picked Chase up around 1:30. He was so cranky and tired from waking at 5:45 that morning that he passed out in the car before we even got back on the interstate.
Our plan was to take Chase straight to Reese's birthday party back in Madisonville at 3:00, but when we tried waking Chase out of his deep sleep once we got there, he threw such a huge fit and threw up 3 times in the yard before we even got to their door. Needless to say, we didn't make it into the party. It took Chase over an hour to snap out of it. The Gandy family must have wiped him out :-)
Thank you so much Boo Boo, Uncle Tory, Jay and Roo for playing with Chase and taking such good care of him (even if did include 4 popsicles and 5 pickles in one day). We can't wait for him to come and visit again very soon :-)
