Saturday on Sunday

We had the best day yesterday!!

Gk, Wyatt, Wendy and I headed for town at about 11:00.

Our first stop was the bank to prepare for our day of fun.

Then we took Wyatt for a haircut. He was almost in tears over the idea of losing his brillo locks.

Whatever, off they came and he walked out of there with the BEST haircut he's ever had.

Off course he still had to act like an ass about the whole thing but that was easily turned around with a threat of going home as opposed to continuing with our day of fun.

Next stop Toys-R-Us.

Wow.

That place is HUGE.

GK slipped Wyatt a twenty.

Wyatt couldn't believe it. A brand new twenty dollar bill just for him.

We went in the store while GK waited in the car. His legs were really bothering him.

Wyatt found the Power Ranger AISLE.

Sweet Mother of Pearl.

You have never seen so many Power Rangers.

Turns out, Wyatt could get TWO Jungle Furry Power Cycles with his twenty.

I thought I was going to have to walk over to the diaper section.

Next stop Boy Scout store.

GK stayed in the car again. He said he would rather watch the weirdo's than try and walk on his sore leg and hip.

That's cool, we were just glad to have him along.

After getting proper Boy Scout apparel we walked down to the Candy Basket for a large box of carmel corn. mmmmmmmm.........

The we crossed the street to McDonald's.

Fortunately GK's leg and hip were able to get him in for some lunch.

When it comes to a Big Mac, Coke and fries, I think GK could have pushed the car to McDonald's : )

After a good lunch we decided to drive through the duck park.

Wow!

There was the Willamette Queen stern wheeler stuck against the current.  There were other boats trying to help but no go.......

They let the boat drift down river a bit and turn the corner to the calmer arm of the river.

I started the car and raced to the other side of the park and got the PERFECT spot from which to watch all the action.

There we were with ring side seats AND a fresh box of carmel corn!

We watched as the Sheriff's boats came and buses were brought in.

They had to do an emergency unload of passengers and we were there to watch.

Wow.

After all that excitement we headed for home with a quick stop at Fred Meyer for some dog treats and a tooth brush for Wendy all her own. I was feeling generous so I sprung for a new tooth brush for everyone.

Everyone except GK. He said he didn't have enough teeth to worry about a new tooth brush, that and the fact that they give him a new one every time he goes into the Hospital.

He felt pretty set in the tooth brush department.

So, then we get home and there's a message for Wendy on the phone.

Someone at her new job has left so she will be getting 40 hours a week!!

Could this day get any better??

Wendy LOVES her new job and to already get more hours?

Are you kidding me?

This is GREAT!

This morning I am taking the kids to church.

I will wait while you get back in your chair................

I really want Wendy to meet some nice people, and I think it would be good for Wyatt to be involved with the kids group.

I feel as though I have been given something very special these last two years, and maybe I need to start acknowledging that.

This will be kind of weird for me though because I have never walked a churchy path... more so just the think nice thoughts, be nice to people and do the right thing path.

We will see how it goes.

There is a Christ the King church here, and that is the only church I have ever gone to. I/we used to go in Burlington and Pastor Dave was great, so because of him, that's where we will go today.

Mike rolled in at 3:30 a.m so he gets a pass to stay home. Maybe he will want to go next week.

More later,

God Bless and go in Peace.
