visiting daddy at work!

we were super excited to have planned a day where we got a chance to visit hc at work. he was recently promoted and is now a big boss at this building {his company works with ikea!}! how awesome. so, we were stoked to go and visit our bestest.

it was such an amazing day. i love sunshiny days like this, it was the perfect temp and the sun was shining so bright {ahhhh warmth}! we hopped on into the car {albeit olive’s prior tantrum and my total delay of getting ready and getting out the door!} and headed on our way to the destination. it was a quick and easy ride; we got there in no time.

hc was outside waiting for us. yay! we snapped a lovely pic of him and his daughter…looking so proud! i love that miss o has a little smirk on her face in the pic down below. he walked us inside and olive was so curious. she walked around like a little movie star, staring people down through her shades. what a funny gal!

hc showed us all the rooms and last but not least, where his office is. olive got to sit in the big chair with her daddy. it was too stinkin’ cute. he then walked us around some more and introduced us to more of his crew, of course olive was a hit. everyone ohhh’d and ahhh’d over the cute babes.

after introductions, we headed out to lunch. hc really wanted to take us to the shrimp barn. yes, this is fancy eating in minooka, illinois. ha! it’s a place that he frequents often so he wanted us to try it too. it was quite yummy. they start you off with an interesting combo of buttery garlic bread and powdered sugar popovers {separate of course}.

i ordered the popcorn shrimp and miss o got fish sticks and carrots. it was all very good! we were happy munching away at our little feast. the best part of it all? their homemade sauces for dipping. it was soooo good. they were spicy and delicious. i loved the wasabi sauce the best! it was a perfect topper for my popcorn shrimp bits.

after lunch, we stopped by the office again {for a little bit}. we hung out while olive got comfortable with the folks around her {pretty much beth and dan at that point}. we chitchatted with a few workers and then decided that we were bugging them enough and that we needed to head home {and be outside on this gorgeous day!}.
