Well we decided to go somewhere a little different this year for Trick or Treat! How does North Carolina sound!! We decided to go down and surprise my Mom & Dad
this past weekend..they could use a little cheering up and we thought what a better way to do that then a visit from their little Reesie. It has been almost 3 months since we all have seen each other and I think we all needed it!!! So here is how the plan went down: My Brother was in on it and help us, he got the information we needed.. he made sure Mom wasn't working at the book store or if they were going anywhere, which they had no plans. Until we showed up!! We were going to leave around 2:00 on Friday afternoon and hoping we would get down there around 9:00.. Their Trick or Treat was from 6-8pm so we knew we wouldn't be down there by then..we did very well on time though we got down there around 8:45p. We pulled into the pool parking lot(which is right down the street from my parents house) and got Reese dressed in her costume..then we drove up to my parents and parked the car so they wouldn't be able to see it. We put Reese on her bike in front of the door and then rang the door bell and we went and hid! When my mom opened the door an saw Reese on her bike her face expression was priceless! We pulled it off!!..they had know idea we were coming! We had a great short little visit with them..we were just staying until Sunday! On Saturday we got up and mom made breakfast for all of us and then we decided to hit the mall..we did a little damage there. After the mall we went back home and got dad (he wasn't feeling so hot so he stayed home why we went to the mall) to go get dinner at one of our favorite places to eat down there "Lancaster's"..they have the best deep fried pickles!! Reesie had her first taste of a deep fried pickle and loved it! She is a true southern bell now....she loves sweet tea and now deep fried pickles!! So after dinner we ran to Target (one of other favorite places!!) we needed to pick up a few things..then we went back home. Ryan had a Halloween party to go to.. he dressed up has a "dork" (not that he needs to dress up much hahahaha!! just kidding) the rest of us watched the Texas/Texas Tech game and played with Reese. After a busy day we decided to hit the sack!! The next day we were leaving but first we had some breakfast with Mom & Dad and Ryan..then we packed the car. Before we hit the rode we needed to do a little detour to the mall... I needed to run in and exchange a couple of the shirts that we bought Reese that didn't fit.. so we followed my parents to the mall and mom & I ran in real quick. After all that we were ready to get on the rode to head home..we said our goodbyes (it wasn't that much of a tear feast because we are going to see them at Thanksgiving..they are coming up). I am so glad we made that trip...it mite have been short but it was very sweet to see them!! I miss them so much!
