This weekend, Don surprised me by taking me to the local park, called "Mount Trashmore". It is a landfill that has been transformed into a giant grass covered park, complete with picnic areas, walking trails, and a skatepark. We took a picnic lunch and sat along the Mount Trashmore lake. We listened to the honking geese and watched as Godiva loved the smell of goose poop. She enjoyed her family fun night as well. The skatepark includes a half-pipe. We sat and watched the major biffing going on and even watched a four or five year old ride his bike up and down it! We took a few moments and threw a softball around. Don thinking back to the days in Colorado Springs where he played shortstop for his church team. Whereas, I was reminicing about the high school days when I played outfield for the JV and Varsity teams. It was a lot of fun!
We then drove over and picked up Godiva's best friend, Cali, who belongs to the Branines. She had a great weekend "catching up" with her friend who she had not seen in a month or so. They played together, slept together, ate together, napped together, went potty together and were pretty much inseperable all weekend long. We are quite certain that she will be in depression mode once Cali's mommy and daddy pick her up later today.
Don is on call this week and we traveled back from Williamsburg (our church plant that we are active in) early this afternoon. We were able to stop by Ruby Tuesday's and eat a yummy lunch with a gift card my students gave me for my birthday (February). Later on tonight we plan on finally getting rid of our brush pile in the backyard and have a little camp fire.
It has been a great, relaxing weekend!

Surprise!
Mom's getting in on the BLOGG action now... I just LOVE your BLOGG with all the neat pictures even of my Grand dog and friends..... I LOVE YOU ALL! xoxoxo
I thought Mt. Trashmore was so neat when we went. It's so funny how you can pass something all the time and then finally stop. I really enjoyed it. Hope things are going well - I'm sure you're looking forward to summer vacation. I know I am :)
We've haven't been to Mt. Trashmore yet, but it sounds like you guys had fun.
Sounds like you had such a nice time that we need to go to Mt. Trashmore. I've lived here all my life and have never actually been at the park, although Paul used to skateboard there as a teenager. Living next to a park now though kind of has me spoiled. Sounds like you had lots of fun.
Okay, I just read your post about the spying bloggers, and I'm even worse than the spies. I don't even spy. But you definitely made me feel guilty. Hey, it was enough to get me to comment, so it must have done some good. :) I just posted another blog, if you want to check it out. I know, I know, I'm terrible at this blogging thing. With two very energetic boys 15 months apart, I don't tend to have a whole lot of time. But you're inspiring me to do better (as you always do). :) Love you guys and miss you. And we would love to see you in CO in a few years!
This Mount Trashmore sounds like a very interesting place, and I love the name, that's great! I enjoy seeing what you all have been up to.
