Memorial Day Weekend

Barry and Teri came over for the long weekend. They flew in Friday night and we had a nice dinner that evening. Saturday we went to the Art Museum to see the Ansel Adams exhibit. Nice photos, long video. Hazen ended up falling asleep so we went outside to enjoy the sun while Barry and Teri finished watching the documentary. We had planned to go see the Rollergirls but ended up staying home and barbecuing (except the propane ran out a couple minutes into grilling). We went for a beautiful drive on Sunday through Idaho City, Stanley and Sun Valley. It was a little overcast, but still warm and you could still see all the mountains. Monday morning Hazen and Barry went to the driving range while Teri and I hit some garage sales. Met up for breakfast at Goldy's, which was pretty good. Apparently they were in Bon Appetit magazine as one of the top 10 breakfast places in the country. Tried to find more garage sales then had to go to Cabella's to see Elmer Keith (if you don't know who he is, it's not that important). Had a nice lunch then home to relax before they headed back to the airport. What a wonderful weekend.

No, you're wrong!

Consulting the map again

Lots of Pics of Mason

Teri and I went to California for the weekend to babysit Mason. We had a wonderful time and got way too many pictures. Here are just a few.

At the aquarium. There must have been a shark.

You go into a glass tube and water rushes down over the glass. Couldn't tell if she liked it or not.

Tumbling

She loved to get her feet wet in the ocean.

Sunroom

I have been working on getting the sunroom painted for the last couple weeks now. I have a problem with starting projects and not wanting to finish them so it takes a really long time. It seemed to turn out pretty good though.

Mallory

Mallory was over this past weekend for a nice visit. Unfortunately for her, it was the worst weekend of weather we have had since we moved here. The rain and thunderstorms just would not stop. It was actually quite amazing. Felt like being back in Washington. Hazen turned on the Mariners game at one point and saw all the sun on the players. Mal thought they were in Oakland. Sorry to tell her it was Seattle. The one time it did stop raining for a couple minutes we tried to walk the greenbelt. Didn't make it very far before the thunder, lightening and rain started up again. We decided to head indoors and get manicures and pedicures (Hazen did not join in on this activity). Trying to find things to do indoors is harder than you might think. We went to dinner and live music the night she got in. Saturday we had bagels and a nice drive out to Idaho City. Toured the museum which was ice cold and didn't warm up until we walked out of the building. We went to Tucano's Brazillian Grill which we absolutely love and will take anyone that comes to visit. Mal ended up hanging out with some friends she knew in town on Saturday night. Did some shopping and the pet store on Sunday and a light lunch at Olive Garden. After this is when we did the pedicures then she had to head back to the airport. We had a great time and so glad that she came to visit.
