Now there are four Symons grandchildren - Jordyn, Ashly, Christopher and Brittany. We had so much fun with all our company this weekend. My mom, dad, sister Bobbi, nieces Brittany and Jordyn all came to visit on Friday. Chadd and I took advantage of the "babysitters" and we had our first date since baby! It was so nice. We went out to eat at our favorite steak house, Red Oak, in Lino Lakes. Then we went to Running Aces, the horse race track/casino by Forest Lake. It was our first time...at a horse track that is! They had a bar area and multiple screens of races in other parts of the country going on you could bet on. We didn't know how to place a bet and the couple next to us kept talking on their cell phone to someone about their bets, so apparently they had some inside knowledge we did not. Finally, Chadd asked the front desk how to do it, and we ended up reading the "Basics of Betting" pamphlet and somewhat learned. It was fun. We placed a few $2 bets, and it was quite entertaining. I don't have good luck, so I never expect to win. They have blackjack, Chadd would like to go back and play sometime. Bobbi took the girls to a hotel and went swimming. Then on Saturday brother Steve and his wife Libby stayed over. More good times. It was great to see everyone...thanks for stopping by!
