Wow we couldn’t wait for spring to get here and it sure warmed up fast. We’ve already had almost a full week of mid 80’s temps. Looks like its time to bust out the summer apparel already.
This month is off to a great start, great weather means fun outdoor events. This past weekend we had the privilege of having Vivi stay with us… (for those of you who don’t remember…she is our friend Esmeralda’s daughter, who was our flower girl in our wedding.) Friday we went to see the movie HOP, it was a great movie, then we went to A&W for dinner. It was Vivi’s first time eating at A&W so of course we went with the classic chicken fingers basket, which happens to be her new favorite.
Saturday we went to Vivi’s Volleyball game, it was only her teams 2nd game ever, and their first loss ever. After the game we went home got changed played in the front yard with all our puppies and fed all of our fish. We also finished painting our master bedroom, it looks great, next we have finish the tile…it’s going to look amazing when it’s all done and put back together. Since it was Saturday we took a vote on what to have for dinner, and it was a landslide for pizza. We hit the grocery store picked up a massive amount of bacon, to have with breakfast on Sunday, and ice cream for dessert later. Then picked up our Hawaiian pizza on the way home. After dinner we cleaned up and headed out for few bowling games. The first game was a total loss for all of us, but the 2nd game there was some major improvement.
We were pretty tired after bowling so we headed back home for a game of Monopoly and some ice cream. We played Monopoly till 11:30pm then finally went to bed, time just flew by.
Sunday morning we were up bright n’ early…for pancakes and bacon…someone’s favorite… bet you can’t guess who…
When we finished breakfast there was only 2 pieces of bacon left and 5 pancakes left. We cleaned up and emptied the dishwasher then reloaded it. We all got dressed for the day around 11am, then loaded everyone up into the car, even all the puppies, and headed out to the farm for some much needed fresh air. Vivi ran all over the farm, and ran a quarter mile in 3.48 minutes. We had a great lunch out there, BBQ’d Ribs, corn on the cob, and grilled beans…. with mini-cupcakes for dessert. By the end of the day Vivi had worn out all of our puppies, when it was time to go home the pups couldn’t get in the car fast enough. Once we got home the puppies all passed out on the tile floor, and we relaxed on the couch by playing Wii bowling & boxing till Vivi’s mom came to pick her up.
It was a great weekend.
April 15-17th we’ll get to see her again… Tulare is hosting the annual Antique Farm Show. It’s a great event for friends and families. There’s going to be parades, BBQ’s, Pancake breakfast in the mornings, arts & crafts for kids and a ton of other stuff. We are really looking forward to it.
