Friday evening we spent at home frantically getting our flowers and veggies planted before the long sunny weekend. It was time well spent since we didn't want that investment to die on us! Early Saturday we headed to Coulee City for the parade and BBQ at Nanna and Poppa's (Davis'). I'll post a couple pics from that once I get them edited.
Saturday eveing was the first annual Claytonfest at Viskerville (the Dormaiers are big with knicknames!) The shindig involved volleyball, campfire, a bad danceoff and a white elephant gift exchange. Most of the crew camped out, but we were excited for a real bed. We're getting soft in our old age! (plus it's a real pain to get out all the camping stuff out of storage for 14 hours).
Mom and Dad came up on Sunday to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Davis as well as Dave's parents. (Gma and Gpa are always really tickled that mom and dad come up every year) Went to the last day of the Last Stand Rodeo (it was their "Tough enough to wear pink day for breast cancer awareness.)
Thanks mom and Kathy for holding the umbrellas so I didn't get sun burned!!! Hope you like the pictures I was able to take!
We went to visit my mother-in-laws cousins on Sunday eveing. They live in the original Davis homestead which is a "Century Farm" because it's been there for over 100 years. They have worked really hard to renovate the place and it is beautiful!
I got the thrill of a lifetime when Sharon asked if I wanted to go flying for some pictures...heck yes I do! I was stunned when she let me take the wheel (so to speak) after about 3 minutes in the air. My heart was pounding and my eyes were wide. It is SO beautiful up there! I mean, I fly a lot, but not at the altitude we were at (between 3,500 and 5,500 feet). The view was stunning. We went west towards Levenworth then north to Chelan, then east back to Grand Coulee Dam and Bank's Lake before comeing home. Take-off and landing were done on the county road. :)
What a weekend!!! More pictures to come...eventually. :)
