So we road tripped down to Hoquiam fcr the weekend to visit with Linda, Scott, Leila and Emma. We planned to leave bright and early, but getting three boys and all the gear packed in the car and getting out the door proved to be more of a ordeal than we ever imagined! Anyhow, we got there in the early afternoon. Stopped in at Salvatin Army and hit the jackpot with 2 pairs of Levis for Dee and I for only $5 and they are like new and fit great. Went into Walmart and got a new microwave, got tired of ours sending out blue sparks everytime we try to nuke something. That can’t be good. It was a madhouse in there, a serious zoo especially with 3 adults and FIVE kids! We were quite the spectacle…and of course, Dominic had to go potty twice when we were on the other side of the store. Oh well!

Got back to the house and had a great time with Linda and Scott, just hung out, had a great dinner that Linda made and just relaxed while the kids played. It was really nice to see them and spend some time together with nothing to do but chat.

The kids had a blast with Scott throwing them up in the air, as you can see from the pictures. With their vaulted ceiling they really got to go high!

Got back last night and had dinner with my folks and helped them put Christmas stuff away, then got the boys home and into bed while we started laundry and got the bags unpacked. Great visit, but nice to be home and back into schedule today…Alice is here and Mary’s cooking chicken enchiladas and key lime pie for dessert! We’re spoiled for sure.

Off to check out cars online…I’m ready for a change!
