Hey dudes! I
hope you all had a lovely weekend.
We spent the Memorial holiday in Omaha, Nebraska, with Dad and Mom
Connie. We planned to visit, but
it was also perfect timing for Connie’s retirement party after 30 years with
the National Park Service!
First, I must congratulate my children – they were PERFECT
travelers. Shaun and I timed the
Dramamine application to the letter apparently because there was no puking,
there or back. It was
awesome. We also kept them busy
with movies, snacks and activities (or the occasional nap) and they were
great. Whew.
We made my dad’s famous Fort Guacamole. I took pictures but forgot to write
down the recipe. Seeing as I made
it for the party, I think I can jot it down from memory – you know how I hardly
follow recipes anyway – and I’ll share it with you in a few days. [Stay tuned because tomorrow, May 30th,
is a post I did for one of our very fave blogs, Pintester - a challenge to her
readers to test pins we saw on Pinterest.]
Anyway, Connie’s retirement reception and party were great;
we took a walk across the NPS’s mile-long suspension river bridge on a
windy-a$$ day; we took the girls to the Omaha Zoo; and we spent time with my
stepsister, Alicia, her husband and their girls – KD & Easy Mac loved
playing with their cousins.
In all, it was a marvelous time. We all reflected on how GREAT the girls were, and since
we’ve had some behavior difficulties with them lately, and have worked hard at
modification of said attitudes, that was much-appreciated reinforcement.
Don’t work too hard on your last 3 days of work Connie! Thanks for the wonderful weekend! xoxo

It's great that you had a wonderful time with your family last weekend. I should say my weekend was a blast too. Spent it with friends I haven't seen in a long time.
That's awesome!
