Weekend Vacation

What a fun long weekend away from home and time spent with some awesome adoption friends! I feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing group of families who share Ethiopia and adoption with us. Maya had so much fun playing with her friends. When I asked Maya what her favorite part was about her weekend, she replied "seeing all my friends". That was my favorite part too.

Here are 1o of my favorite things about this past weekend (in no particular order).

1. Attending the EKC Mehabar on Saturday
2. Spending quality time with 4 other families from our travel group
3. Seeing and talking with other adoptive families
4. Seeing Maya interact so beautifully with the other children
5. Hanging out at the Como Zoo
6. All the fun restaurants - Keys, 3 Squares, Punch Pizza, etc.
7. Eating my favorite ice cream in the entire world - Sebastian Joe's
8. Purchasing some amazing things from the vendors at the Mehaber including a necklace for Maya from A Hope and an Ethiopian soccer ball.
9. Shopping at Ikea and getting what I think I need to finally organize all the toys in our family room
10. Being with my family for 4 wonderful days!

We ended our weekend by making a quick trip to Trader Joe's before driving back home. And...Makenna slept the entire way home (3.5 hours)! Just maybe she is getting used to these car trips???

Pictures to come!
