WaSsUp?

Well....

N8 did the Junior Golf thing,

and had a great time.

We noticed a poster on a local store window,

looked closer,

and saw...

Craig!

It's from last year's 5k "Bark in the Park" fundraiser run.

(He hates that shirt--the techs tie dyed it for their team.)

Chels disected a crayfish in Science.

She named him "Giant Larry".

(It's all right with me as long as we don't have to eat him!)

While replacing a wire, N8's orthodontist knocked a bracket loose,

and Craig had a 3-day weekend, so

we took off from school a little early, and went to Reno to have it fixed, then...

went by Scheele's and visited the aquariums.

N8 braved the bears, and Chels made friends with the moose.

Together, they checked out the latest in pet equipment.

While Dad checked out the guns,

Chels and N8 tried the shooting galery, and

then, they found the weapons of war.

We went by Best Buy...


where the bug tried the 3D t.v.

(Okay, so it's not as great as Toast Dog's new living room fixture.)

Lastly,

we ventured up to Tahoe to plant flowers and get the sprinklers and drip lines going,

but, alas...

it snowed--4 inches.

Oh wow!

(No pictures here--just close your eyes and envision a forever freezy winter that smells of lovely pine.)

We hurried back on Saturday to see Der, Marie, and Carter--hurray!

'Had a family bbq--

'ate absolutely everything bad for us--chili dogs smothered with onions, salsa, cheese--the works!

'Topped it off with banana splits--hey the banana's healthy, right?

It was GREAT fun!

Thanks for visiting Der and Marie!

(We love you so much!)
