the next few days we surrounded ourselves with the Finn family. it was so nice having EVERYONE off from work! such a blessing to have that time. i love my family oh-so-much.
monday we enjoyed lunch with the fam. i don't know if anyone really enjoyed the food but we definitely enjoyed the company!
that afternoon we soaked up the beautiful weather in my parents backyard.
they got to enjoy watching a hummingbird nest, lay eggs and see the babies grow.
now, the empty nest remains! so cool.
that evening...we had a great dinner with rob (j's best man). i mean seriously, so tasty! we were of course bummed that bernie had to leave town but feel so fortunate to have them in our lives.
i totally missed snagging a photo. bummer.
i totally missed snagging a photo. bummer.
all i can say is beach, beach, beach!
we met jer & anna down at dog's beach and i am so glad we did.
i miss those relaxing days on the sand so much.
keico walked from our spot on the beach to sit with jer while he stretched before going into the water.
so sweet!
a quick dinner, some shopping & dance class (at least dance class for k & me) completed our evening.
i miss our tuesday night routine so much! it is such a stress reliever!
i know, i know. not only is this post getting long but you're right...i am lucky!
i still got to go to the FAIR! oh i scored BIG time. i would have been so sad if i missed the fair.
at one point we lost my parents. thank goodness we were able to find them.
just kidding. but, i couldn't resist.
andrea, evan & gavin met up with us. such a treat.
how cute is this little man? watch out ladies!
this is the basset hound of the bunny family! LOOK at those ears.
my dad's friend joined us too!
and kristen & danny!
i realized, after flipping through our photos, that we didn't get a picture of the fam. DANG it!
funny story...i was playing with gavin & the buttons on my dress kept opening.
eek! so our play time was cut short! sorry gav! next time i will pick a better play outfit.
look at everyone's faces. my dad is smiling. my mom looks TOTALLY concerned. kristen and danny have a "what the heck" are we looking at face. and anna is walking away laughing.
not sure what they were looking at...maybe this?
and to close the night (and this overly LONG post) our fair tradition.
the ZIPPER. i honestly tell myself, every.single.year. this is the last year. by the time the next july rolls around i have suddenly forgotten that this ride makes me feel like i am literally going to die with each flip, creek, swing, sway, rotation. my eyes stay shut tighter than a vault at a bank, while i scream over and over "i'm gonna die, i'm gonna die!" and jeremy just laughs uncontrollably while he counts "oh my god, one-two-three times!!" each time the car flips!
next stop...some much needed time with the davis family.
hope you are having a great week so far!
