How We Spent Saturday. . .

Saturday found us with a little extra time on our hands. I'm not sure how or why and we may pay for it later but our plan was to not have a plan. Since I wasn't feeling too good, my plan turned into staying home - alone - and cleaning the house. It's amazing how much I can accomplish when I'm by myself. I even spent some time sorting through the music on my computer and making a bunch of play lists just for fun. Just for fun. That sounds kind of strange. . .


Rob and the kids, on the other hand, made a plan to take out the 4 wheelers. . .

They left the house around 10:00 a.m., went out to breakfast, loaded up the bikes and headed out to the ATV park in Emmett.

They rode for hours. . .

. . . and hours. . .

. . . and hours. . .

I even trusted them with my camera and, besides a little mud on the lens, it came back in the same condition it left and even contained some great pics and videos of their afternoon:

They ended up going out to dinner and a movie, too, so they arrived home around 12:30 a.m. tired and muddy but very, very satisfied with their adventurous day. Next time I might even go with them. . .

Same Song, Different Verse. . .

On Friday night we were back out in our Nampa Nights location only this time we dressed it up a bit. Besides the lights and the truss, it was pretty much the same as the night before. The big difference was that our Thursday bands end at 8 and this band didn't start until 8. It was an interesting evening. . .

Gloria's Home!!

Gloria spent the week in McCall at Kid's Camp. Without me. I've decided I must be growing up since my kids each attended a week-long camp this summer without me feeling the need to tag along! I volunteered to pick up the girls on Friday and had a chance to take a couple of pictures as Gloria said her good-byes. . .



From all the chatter on the way home I'd say they had a great time!!

I was in the neighborhood so I stopped by the Roseberry site where our next festival set up will be. They have a new stage this year and just finished laying the new sod. It looked great:

Next week this stage will be covered with our canopy:

The girls broke in the new stage by showing me some of their fun camp songs:

It's good to know Gloria can survive without me. I didn't even worry too much. . .

Just Another Thursday. . .

Demolition Derby. . .

Game Night. . .

Kristin organized a game night for the kids on Friday night. It was very relaxing to just hang out and play games. . .

One of the games we played was Cranium which can be pretty hilarious. . .

Zach and I brought a bunch of fireworks since we knew we wouldn't be setting any off on the 4th. It was a nice way to end a nice evening.
