Vicki's!

The Open Road

This weekend Aaron went on his yearly guys camping trip in Milsap Bar (outside of Orville). So I arranged to spend the weekend with Vicki!  We had an easy drive up; left first thing Saturday morning, which was a good idea, as we missed a brush fire that shut down the freeway, by 15 minutes and it gave us a lot of time on Saturday - basically a full day.

We Saw BALLOONS!

We arrive at Vicki's at 10:00 am - right on target!  Chatted for a bit and then got going to the water park not too far from her house.  Our little Elijah, augh, our little Elijah.  Of course at first he was really excited to see all the fountains and kids playing in them and then, when it was time to go in them he wanted nothing to do with it (sound familiar - Choo Choo SCARY!).  It took about a half hour for him to warm up to the idea of playing in the fountains, and then we were almost there, almost over the fear, he fell. On his face. So another 15 minutes (and you are probably thinking "I would have left a half hour a go") and finally he found a teeny tiny fountain that was right at his comfort level, and then he got in to it.  He probably played for a good 45 minutes.  By the end of it, we were all soaked, including Vicki and the baby's car seat (thanks to a naughty little boy that came over and splashed Vicki twice - not Elijah). But we all, finally, had fun :)

OWIE!

Watching the action

finally loving the water

The rest of the trip was just as great (at least for me and Vicki), we got the kiddos down for a nap, got them up, fed them, and got them down for the night. AND THEN WE SHARED A BOTTLE OF CRISTAL CHAMPAGNE! Definitely the highlight for me! YUM YUM. We couldn't let the opportunity pass without a picutre, so eat your hearts out! muhahaha! muhahaha! (See "Dr. Evil" via google).

At last, we enjoyed a quite Sunday morning, lunch and then we were on our way home. This time we drove through a brush fire- a little scary, but not out of control.
Can't wait until our next visit....but how are we going to top Cristal?!
