Labor Day Mexican Fiesta

 

The Labor Day weekend started on Saturday when the kids would not go home until we feed them. So it was corn on the cob and tomatoes for everyone.

On Monday we had the Dyers, Lachers, Sister Missionaries, and Callies friend/ neighbor Danielle and family over for a Mexican Fiesta.

We got Carna Asada from Top Choice Meat Market, 4 inch tortillas and fresh salsa and corn from the garden. Then finished to glutinous event with strawberry rhubarb pie, brownies and homemade ice cream.

It was fun……………………….

 

Swan Island Grandkids Day

 

The weekend of Aug. 23rd – 24th was very eventful.  Friday at about 12:00 noon Lindsi and Casey left for “Hood to Coast Relay”  I watch the kids.  That evening we bought pizza for them and took it over to Lacher’s.   We went to Skamania Lodge, on the Columbia River, for their fabulous Seafood Buffet.  We were celebrating Logan’s 30th B-day.  Keep running Lindsi and Casey we will eat for the two of you.

Logan and Ashley wanted to have a little “alone time” on the day of Logan’s b-day so we took on their three boys, along with the 4 Baldwin kids.   Cousins love to be together.   Let’s go to the Dahlia Farm!!!   OK, let’s take all 7 of the kids!!  OK!!! 

Nothing is more fun than sticking fingers in the Koi fishes mouth.  Forget the flowers.   Of course, the kids were all hungry!!   A little break at the band tent.   The only one dancing was Bentley!!!   He was rockin his stroller and so happy.I told Brooklyn and Olivia this was a sample of what they will be seeing next week at the “Taylor Swift Concert”   They are both so excited to see her.   They got ticket for Christmas 2012 and have been waiting patiently.  Baylor asked,  “Is this where all bands go”

The first pictures are of our property before we developed it , and as the road was being put in. I must say, we are taking better care of it than the Lord did. 1985.

The other photos are of Verne, (me), in 1964 in my Grandpa and Grandma Mays house, 1510 Columbus, Boise, Idaho. I am playing with my cat Meower.

The other photos are of Rusty’s Love right after we got him. He is sooooo small. I think Callie is holding him.

 

Lacamas Creek bike ride

Callie called and asked if we wanted to go on a bike ride down in camas, along  Lacamas Creek. Mom and I were not feeling it, since we just returned from the river trip. But then reconsidered after contemplating just sitting at home. So here we go on another adventure……..we finished the adventure with burgers and ice cream at Top Burger in Camas. It is right across the street from Camas Park, where we got our Merry Go Round.
