A Visit to Matt at Starbucks

After a long week of surviving things like colds, wind storms that brought down trees and bunny hutches, daylight savings time, and a flooded basement (yikes) we decided to end our weekend with a visit to Matt at Starbucks. We all planned to splurge on our favorite drink. We hadn't seem him much all weekend, and we popped in on him for a surprise visit! Of course, he was out in the back taking out the trash, but we waited patiently and he soon showed up with his usual cheerful grin! I have always loved Matt's smile...



This is the outside of Matt's store




Here is the smile that I so love to see!


Matt working hard at making all of our drinks. He treated all of us to our favorite - we were very surprised and blessed. It was fun to watch him make everything. I know I may be prejudiced as his mom, but my vanilla latte was the best one I had ever had! It was really neat to get the inside "scoop" on all the drinks and procedures behind Starbucks famous drinks!


The younger boys sipping on their frappucinos!! I asked them to smile but they couldn't take the straws out of their mouth long enough to smile for the camera!


Hannah sat up at the bar and drank her favorite strawberry frappucino! (with extra strawberries of course)




All in all, we had a fun time laughing all the way down there in the car, listening to the voice of Danny's GPS speaking in it's Australian accent, the kids laughing in the back seat as they squished the monkey in the middle (Jacob) and excitedly going in to surprise Matt. It was a wonderful way to end the weekend, and the long week. We are so grateful that the Lord provides us moments like this as a family.
