The races were great and apparently Scott and Jill found some good trails so everyone had a great day.
Kay and I headed into Wickenburg to shop and Mitch brought Kay's sister Kim out so she could visit for a few days. Kim has to head back to Ontario on Wednesday and it looks like Kay and I will be driving her in.
Scott and Jill are scheduled to head to the airport on Wednesday as well and Jace and Kimmy will be taking them in the morning to catch their flight.
On Monday, we all headed over to the canyon. We will head out the same way we took James and Belle and their kids and I hope the kids will enjoy the day. Lorne, Marilyn and I took Neena in their truck and John and Booko took the jeep. Kay and her sister Kim took Henrietta, Jace and Kimmy took Kermit and Scott, Jill and Tessa climbed into their RZR (Jace and Kimmy hauled it down behind their truck). We made a stop at Stanton Ghost Town and then headed over to the canyon. It was a beautiful day for a ride and when we arrived at the canyon, we were the only ones there so, set up our chairs along the Hassayamppa River and watched the dogs and Tessa play in the water.
The river was flowing about four feet wide and about 6 inches deep so it was awesome for everyone!! We spent the day and all too soon it was time to pack up and head for home. It had been a good day and fun was had by all.
We had a bit of drama on the way home when kermit blew a hose but John and Jace managed to make the necessary repairs and we all arrived home safe and sound.
On Tuesday, the kids needed more adventure so headed out to the trails again. It was the last day for Scott and Jill so off they went. They returned home only to start the gruelling task of packing up as it was an early morning drive to the airport.
On Wednesday, the kids headed out and Kay and I headed into town to visit with Kay and Kim's Pops. He is in a nursing home now and suffers dementia so it is likely that it will be a brief visit but it will be a necessary one. He will be 98 years old in September and that alone is pretty remarkable.
Once our visit was over, we headed over to Kay's brother's (Dean) home for Kim to drop off some stuff then headed to the airport to drop her off for her return home to Ontario.
Once that was done, we headed over to Home Depot and Walmart and picked up some supplies then headed for home. It had been a very long day for all of us!!
Our community sniffles and sneezes have continued and none of us seem to be getting any better. Once again....thanks Kimmy!! Lorne is covered in spots and looks like he has a plague!! Good Grief. Not only that, he has this bloody cold on top of it all!! We are quite a bunch. I'm thinking we need to be in quarantine!!
Thursday found us back out on the trails. It is Jace and Kimmy's last full day here as tomorrow, they start their journey home. John and Booko took the jeep while Kay and I had Henrietta and Jace and Kimmy were in Kermit. It was a great ride, the weather was awesome and all was great up until we were almost home and Booko decided to get out of the jeep. Of course he can't just jump out of the jeep like any normal dog, he had to climb and somehow got his leg caught between the seat and the side. The poot guy ended up hurting is leg and we were all feeling really bad for him. Hopefully it is nothing too serious but a trip to the vet may be in our near future. Booko Bucks is certainly living up to his name!!$$$$$$
Kimmy made an awesome spaghetti supper when we got back and we all pigged out. I finally learned how to make garlic toast without burning it!! IMAGINE THAT!!
Friday was bitter sweet. The kids were packing and getting ready to head back north. Their vacation was fast coming to an end. Kimmy was scheduled to be back to work on Monday. It was going to be a lot quieter around here now that ALL the kids were gone.
With final hugs and "drive carefully" said, they headed out. Kay then started doing a general clean up in the man cave and I started on the laundry. No rest for the wicked came to mind but it had been a pretty good week!!
On Saturday, it rained most of the day and we all remained sick!! Coughing, blowing our noses and feeling generally shitty suited the weather. Surely the upcoming week is going to be better....right?? Life is Good....with tissue, cough drops, decongestant and echinacea!!
