Canada...Here we come!

A few notes for the last few days....

Saturday--Bill, Ryan & I spent the full morning (8-1:30) working in the yard. Temperatures were close to 80 (I think official was 78), and it was BEAUTIFUL!! We cleaned up all that we cut on Friday afternoon and burned all day. The yard looks so nice! The girls (McKenzie & Kristin) drug all the fir tree clippings to the fire pit for us....and there were alot! Kristin kept us all supplied in water, and it was a good day, complete with a good lunch, shower, and wonderful nap!!

Saturday night, Kristin invited McKenzie to spend the night, since it was her last night here. She was to return home to Washington on Sunday morning. They started the evening with showers & popcorn, complete with movie. About halfway through the movie, McKenzie started with a headache and before we knew it, it was like a migraine, so home to Grandma's she went...poor thing. Kristin was disappointed, but it was best that McKenzie felt better. They will miss each other....they've put more time in the playhouse this last two weeks than it has ever seen in it's 10 years with us!

Yesterday, the seat for the Suburban arrived. The O'Hara's went in with us on a 4th row of seating for our trucks (we can move the seat between our two trucks....we have the same vehicles--even the same color!!), and it will enable us to haul 11 passengers now. Bill & Ryan installed it today and the hardest part was taking apart the trim work to get to the floor to drill the holes. The seat is VERY nice, and fits two children very well, and even will sit three, but it would be tight, since it is 6" shorter than the other bench seats, so that they can gain entry through the back door. We headed out to dinner after Ryan & Bill finished and then over to the O'Hara's to show them our new purchase. All the kids had to take a turn in the seat....and everyone but Tanya (she gets carsick & can't sit in the back)is drawing straws to see how gets the first turn back there! Nana & Papa...here we come. We have a car top carrier (another joint purchase), a rack for the back with the truck box, and now the extra seat.....we are ready to go!! Here's another picture of what we might look like!!!
