Beth's Birthday! (Mar 23-25)

Beth (Andrew's Mom) had a birthday last week, but we won't tell you which one! We were able to leave at 6:00 on Friday morning to get to Grand Rapids and spend theweekend with her. We took her to see the new movie "Shooter" at her request! We all liked the movie, so if you like gun movies and you haven't seen it, you should! Then we ate dinner at "The Melting Pot: A Fondue Restaurant" and had a great 2 hour meal! It was a lot of fun to have the pot on the table cooking! We started with bread, apples, and veggies dipped in our cheese. We ate salads that were spectacular. Then we got boiling oil and chicken, 2 kinds of beef, Mahi Mahi and shrimp! We were so full that we didn't have room for chocolate desert!! Andrew and I went over to the Raisches to watch basketball.

The next morning Beth, Andrew & Jen went for an hour walk in the neighborhood. The weather was spectacular the whole weekend! Then Grandma and Grandpa Davidson came over, as well as Aunt Nancy and Uncle Al. We all went to lunch together to celebrate Beth's birthday again. It was great to see everyone again. We all rode together to the lunch in Grandma & Grandpa's new Honda van, which we've offered to take off their hands whenever they are ready for a new vehicle!! That afternoon the girls went shopping and they boys stayed home and explored technology together (computers and such). The three of us stayed up late that night watching SNL, and laughing so hard we almost peed our pants! Did anyone else see it?? Good stuff!

Sunday morning we went to church and then a fund raising brunch for the group going to Mexico. It was nice to see old friends, and to meet new ones. After church, Jen & Andrew went for a run. Did you know we are training for the Chicago Marathon in October?? We rested that afternoon, watched some more basketball, and then headed home. It was a very nice weekend, and we laughed a lot!
