Obviously I haven’t written for a week or so…not a whole lot to say. Little things have happened but nothing to go Wow! about.
Yesterday at Alexa’s suggestion Judy and I along with Niki’s family ate at Winger’s on 134th, not tooooo far from their house. This was to celebrate Alexa’s first day at kindergarten.
When we first got there Gavin had a snotty nose and was grouchy. He sat next to his mother and Alexa sat next to me and was a silly chatterbox. Later she crawled under the table and set next to Niki and soon fell asleep. Greg put Gavin between him and me. He was fine by this time and we got silly…wrestling as best we could in a corner (round) restaurant booth. Gavin kept screaming but there was a little kid in the next booth that was yelling as loudly as Gavin so it sort of balanced itself out. Greg did try to quiet things down but was only successful for a few seconds at a time.
There near the end, Gavin and I went outside a goofed off in the parking lot.
I went home a tried to get a short nap.
Jim flew in and Judy picked him up at the airport. When they got home, Jim threw a few things together and he and Judy and I jumped in Judy’s Honda Civic hybrid. By this time it was dark and we had a three and a half-four hour drive (each way) getting him to Jensen, Utah, about ten miles east of Vernal and not too far from the Colorado border at about 12:30 including a stop for gas and snacks and another one to go potty and buy some ice that Chris requested via a text message. In Jensen we met up with Chris and two of his friends who were in Chris’ fold up camping trailer.
Judy and I got home at about 3:30 this morning. I took a sleeping pill and except for one potty break, slept until a quarter past 12:00.
Judy had to go to work, but set her alarm for 9:15 so she got a little sleep.
Today they drove (I assume all when as planned) into Colorado with a river rafting company and started their four day rifting journey down the Green River.
Jealous!
Chris paid for Jim which I think was very nice.
I told them both I expect detailed e-mail from them about their adventure.
