Weekend Recap

Hey kids,
Daddy here.  The craziness started on Friday which was houseboat weekend for the radio station. I decided this year to not go, which turned out to be an excellent decision because when I got home Mom told me there was a DC Comics event at Barnes and Noble. The boys and I played a trivia contest that was very hard. What is the name of Aquaman's sidekick octopus? Who knows that? Also, the answer is Topo. Anyway, since there were not too many people playing Alex and I tied for first place and got a Batman toy. Izzy and Serena Palmer got their faces painted and we all had fun.

Saturday, we headed down to the Clickners in Chico. Mom had a lunch date with Sarah, so you guys and I went to the graduate for lunch. Alex and I got Philly cheese steak sandwiches, Jake got a hot pastrami sandwich and Iz got chicken nuggets. While we waited for our food we played pool and air hockey. Lunch was awesome!

 After picking up Mom, Doc, Yaya, Greg, Brenda and I all went out to dinner at the Sierra Nevada brewery. Before our table was ready, we did a little shopping. I got a new hat at a slap koozie. Dinner was spectacular! We had appetizers and some really good beers. It was a great night out for the adults. I sure wish Greg and Brenda lived around here so we could see them more often, but I'm glad to see them when we can. We headed back to Doc and Yaya's and played a new game called logo beer or logo master or something. We ended up staying later than expected, as per usual but we only have an hour to drive home so we headed home everybody went to bed.

Sunday morning, we all got up and went to 9am Mass since daddy had to read. After church, we headed home and I put some stuff in a bag and headed back to Chico for a quick Man Days experience with Doc and Greg. We went to Wing Stop, we played Final Fantasy and had a great time Saturday. Sunday we headed to the river. When I say "the river" there's only one place I'm referring to. You guys know by now, where the river is. I haven't made that hike in a few years and it was pretty brutal, but totally worth it. Hiking down there with those two guys at my side and swimming in that water totally reminded me of what it was like to be a kid again. We jumped off some cliffs, we stood behind the waterfall, and had a great day as teenagers even though we're in our 40's. We headed back to Chico and went to Burger hut for lunch. Then, back to Doc's to pack up our stuff and head home. Doc and I said our goodbyes to Greg and he, Brenda and Jordan headed out to fly out back to Virginia Tuesday morning. After Greg left, I packed up my stuff and headed home it was a long, totally awesome weekend. I can't wait for our next adventure. I love you guys,
Daddy
