So Friday night, we went down to Buzzard Billy's to celebrate Adam's Birthday. It was pretty fun. After dinner, Shannon, Dusty headed over to an event at Simon Estes Ampitheater...well not to the event, but to see Jen, scine she was manning the DMMC booth at the event. Afterwards, we went home.
Saturday morning we got up bright and early and headed north to see my Grandma, my older brother, his wife and two boys. When we got up there, we got a tour of their new house, which I think, is in much better condition then their old house. And they are working hard, already, to improve it. Dallin and Specer were really excited to see me and drug me all over the house to give me a tour. It was fun. We then headed to The Spam Museum. It had a lot about the history of Spam and uses of spam, and where spam is in the world. We had fun. I know the boys love it (they've been there a few times). Then we drove back to Albert Lea and went to the Lakeside Creamery. The Ice cream, malts, and shakes were pretty good. If it wasn't so opressively hot and humid out we probably would've gone outside and sat near the lake. Then we parted ways, and Hyrum, Shannon and I headed over to Grandma's and Diane, Spencer and Dallin, headed home. We got to grandma's and noticed that my Uncle Steve, Aunt Leslie and my cousin Mike's cars were all at Steve's house across the street from grandma's so we went there to say hi. It turned out that my cousin Sara and her son Ammon were there as well. So we talked for a little bit, and then headed over to Grandma's.
Grandma's house is pretty much just the way that I remember it. Very clean, very organized. Grandma is a lot smaller then she used to be. And she also was sitting on her couch with pretty much every thing that she could need in a short reach from her. We talked about things and stuff and because she wanted to keep the visit short (since she was feeling not so well that day), we left after being there for about 20 or 30 minutes.
We headed back to Hyrum's and they fed us again and then I played with the boys. Hyrum and Diane had plans that night to go to a baseball game, so we headed home just a little after 7.
On our way home, Shannon mentioned that she wanted a weekend where she didn't have to work, we didn't have to clean, and there was nothing else going on...cause it's been a while...a time to just be lazy...and I agree with her. I need a time to just slack.
So on Sunday, I started off the day by mowing my lawn (some placed needed it (stupid crabgrass), other places were brown). Then we cleaned the house. I did the bathrooms this time, and she did the kitchens and the rest of the house...it was much easier since we were starting from a much cleaner point. We watched episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Shannons has season 2 on dvd) and then episodes of the Simpsons (I have Seasons 1-5 on dvd), before Sunday Night TV...
It was a pretty good weekend. Although I still wanna see a few movies released this weekend (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wedding Crashers) and one from a few weeks ago (Mr. and Mrs. Smith).
