...a famous saying, "All's well that ends well"...is so true! We had such an AMAZING long weekend and are blessed to have such amazing family and friends that let us spend our time with them! I've been so bad with taking my camera places lately...and this weekend was not an exception...however, I was able to get a few pictures one day...the rest, well, you will just have to listen to me ramble on and on and on...
Friday morning, we packed up the car and headed out EARLY..grabbed some coffee for Rich, tea for Me and a blanket and bone for Chukar...and started our journey EASTWARD! We pulled into the Tri-Cities afternoon and headed directly to Casa Mia (our favorite little Italian joint) for a quick lunch...then Rich was off to a meeting with a "business contact" and Chukar and I were off to explore the outdoors. We finished up there and started out REAL weekend of fun! We said a quick hello to Andy, Steph and the gang and went directly to see Rich's Mom at work...she wasn't quick there yet, so I did a little shopping and we ran into Rich's friend Yoni and son Jaden who were out and about. Yoni ships out for Iraq in 3 weeks, so it was a blessing to get to see him before he leaves...and really celebrate the TRUE reason for our long weekend.
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
Back to Friday...we were able to chat with Rich's Mom for a little bit, but she needed to get back to work and we were heading back to meet up with some friends...hoping to spend more QT with Rich's family on Saturday. Friday night involved friends, food and good times...the boys had a blast and I think that us ladies did too...however, Chukar and I were out hours before the boys!
Saturday morning started out a little slower than Friday....we took our time getting up and I even got to enjoy a little sunshine and read my book with Chukar outside while Rich got a little more sleep. We got to head over to Taco John's for a late lunch with Rich's Mom and then visit at the house with his Dad and the weiners...Chukar absolutely LOVED Four-Low!
Saturday night...we headed back to Andy's for more food, more friends, more fire and more fun times...Dick and Denise came over for a while too so we got to hang out with them and enjoy the night and the campfire!
Sunday morning was all about Rich, Chukar and Me....we got up and went to brunch with Rich's Mom and visited with his Dad...then headed off to enjoy a little quiet time and fishing with Chuk...
First out of the car...and first with the road on the pond!
Chuk checking out the flies...
Drinking some water from the fountain...
Playing in the water...
First fish of the day...
Self-Portrait...
Fish #2
Chuk giving the fish a kiss before Rich through it back.
After the pond...we went on a little hike in Naches...
And saw some Elk...
Sunday ended with a trip to find Shawnee in Naches, a stop at Cruisers for some pizza and a stop off at Alex's to visit with him and Jenn...we made it home at 1 am...wow!
Today, we lounged, lounged and lounged!
Chukar chewing up his new Chewee from Grandma D!
WHAT A WEEKEND...one day of work and it's VEGAS OR BUST for the BLOSSER/BOWDEN NUPTIALS!
