Long weekend!



We had a nice long weekend filled with fun activities! We all went to ArtFest friday and enjoyed looking at all the art, visiting with artists (including my high school art teacher), eating yummy food (huckleberry ice cream, soba noodles, sweet & sour chicken with rice, and funnel cake!) and playing on the playground (the kiddos played with Dad while Mommy enjoyed the art at a more leisurely pace than the children allow!) Mommy worked at an auction on Saturday while Nick and Gabby and Daddy went to the Cow Plop (a fundraiser for the school behind us...they make a grid on the play field and a local farmer brings in a pair of cows...people buy the squares in the grid and if the cow 'plops' on your square you win $...they also have carnival games for the kids - Nick and Gabby each won a goldfish!- pizza from David's pizza, ice cream, a beer garden, music and more) Chad played soccer Sunday morning and then it was back to ArtFest where the kids got to partake in the kids art activities (we missed them on Friday) They made fish prints, painted, made wood sculptures and created sand candles. We also listened to some music and watched Gabby dance on the grass. I think the highlight of the weekend for the kids was a visit with our puppies. They will be home in a few weeks (we'll take them home when we get back from our vacation at the beginning of July) They have grown so much in the last few weeks and were full of fun and mischief.


The kids had a blast...and I think Bingo and Lucky did too!


Gabby holds Bingo...look at those cute speckles on his tummy!

Lucky...he's a mellow little pup! (maybe he and Nick will balance each other out!)
