Last week was spring break so Gwen and the kids went to the ABQ zoo with the Grahams. Emily came back with some major hayfever due to animals and everything blooming in ABQ. Other than that it sounds like they had fun. They brought back some BBQ from Rudy's for us to eat the next evening for supper. Sausage Yum!
Steve (that is him in the picture) came over to eat BBQ with us. One of many meals we ate with Dr. Nuke since he was batching it due to April and the kids being in Texas visiting family. Also had Nate over one evening to finish off a pot roast (a Gwen speciality) made using Homemade Gourmet. Some new world records in computer snowboarding were broken too while visiting Steve over at the Nolen's house.
Friday afternoon Steve, Emily, and myself slipped off the Shooting Range and spent many 22LR rounds. Emily finally has the hang of the peep-sights on her Cricket 22 and hit the target often. And not surprisingly Steve was right at home and nearly ran out of ammo using the old Remington pump-action. Good thing we did not have a semi-auto or Steve's fun would have been over in about 15 minutes not to mention we would have ran out of prairie dog targets to light up.
A good time was had by all.
Em got to feed and walk the Baker's dog, Misty and Mia, over the weekend. We all really enjoyed the dogs and Emily got to exercise some responsibility. She did a pretty good job. A Little Bit loves seeing and talking to the neighborhood dogs. When the Baker's got back and brought the dogs out for their daily walk Elizabeth went running up to them saying, "Mia, Mia, Mia!" through her binky. It surprised Mr. Baker. She also has the hang of saying Misty and Bailey (another neighbor's dog.) She loves calling to them and waving.
All in all a pretty good Spring break week.
