We visited my parents in Alb. NM over the last weekend which was tons of fun! The drive there was kind of crazy with some intense storms, but due to my complete awesomeness we made it. The parents put us up at a hotel with a built in water park! Good thing too because it rained or sprinkled everyday it seemed like. Going to the water park...
The Zoo...
The Natural History museum...
And we had the grandparents watch the kids so we could go out. I can't find any blasted pics of the kids playing at the grandparents house!
I tried to meet up with Keith while in Alb. but he decided to move to Las Cruces which is too far to drive on such short notice. We'll meet again... someday... On the way home from Alb. we stopped in Payson for a while to soak up as much of the 80 degree weather as we could and also to try and prolong our vacation. We ate at a good BBQ and grill place where the kids had grilled cheese's and peaches. Lacie and Oz ate like cows but Sean wasn't too interested. I think because he knew we were getting ice-cream afterwards. I hate mind readers. Right next store was Scoops. An ice-cream shop where we visited last summer and liked it, so we were glad to be able to visit again and enjoy the creamy goodness that is ice again. Sean almost ate all his but Oz and Lacie didn't want any of theirs. So along with my bowl I shoved their bowls into my mouth too. It's been a long time since I've had that much ice-cream and felt the way I did. Looking back I'd probably do it again which is really the sad part.
There was a very unfortunate event the Tues night before last... we found out from Ali that Ricky Partain had died. I walked into the bedroom after driving home from work to find Rach in tears. I immediately thought the worst. However, nothing could have prepared me for news this bad. I knew Rick for 9 years, since I started going to Trinity Baptist. He was a big influence in my life and helped me with many things. He was always joking and having so much fun with everyone. I mean, he taught me how to catch a fart in my hand and throw it! I wanted to start playing golf, but didn't have any clubs so he gave me my first clubs. They were really old, but nonetheless he was more than willing to give them to me. He knew I stunk at the game, but invited me to play anyway with him Sat mornings. I could go on and on... Say hi to Jesus for me Rick! I'll always miss you!
