Weekend Con't (Aug. 8-10, 2008)

New Perry baby, Olympics, family...we knew we were going to have a fun weekend.

Here is the proud cousin again, just because it's my blog and I wanna. :)


Saturday was a busy day. The three Dads decided to head out for a motorcycle ride for a couple of hours. Mark did get his running after all. :)

Making Sure Daddy's Bike is Ready

I love this picture of Hope and Ron. You can see the sparkle in that smile. She adores her daddy. I'm pretty sure Ron is beaming under that helmet, too.

Ready To Go

The girls decided to head over to Peck's. This is where we went looking for pumpkins a year ago when we visited Mark and Andria. Hope is always intrigued by animals and they have some pretty ones here. They also have a market with some VERY yummy homemade treats. And, new this time, they had a jumping castle set up. I'd say the morning was a success for the ladies.





























Hope got right down and said "hi" to the goats. That last one sneezed on us.



















Mark and Andria had planned one of Hope's favorites for lunch. MMMMMMM!



Exhausted After a Big Morning

Andria's mom and sister came over for the afternoon, too. It was great to see them again and Hope thought they were wonderful, especially since they brought her a purse full of goodies and a princess dress. She even used her new "toe paint" on Stella. :)


Aunt Andria paints with the real thing!

Cuddled up at the end of a long day. Don't know who looks cozier here.

Sunday we were up pretty early (thanks to someone) so we just got everything packed up and got on the road.

Here are a few shots of our three riders. Mark rode part of the way north with us. He's at the head of the pack.



Thanks again for a fantastic weekend Mark and Andria. Can't wait to see you again soon. Did we look at Sept./Oct. dates???
