Vic & Deej

Adam's parents decided to come and visit us for the weekend. We only had to do a little begging! We loved having them here. They flew in (in Vic's plane) on Friday afternoon and stayed until Sunday afternoon.

When they got here we took them to play frisbee golf and then they took us out to dinner. We tried to go to the arboretum after dinner, but it was too dark. When we got home Adam needed some knots rubbed out of his shoulders. I have been informed that I have "weak hands".

Maybe he won't complain about my weak hands after the treatment Vic gave him!

The next morning we got up and went the arboretum. It is still pretty! After the arboretum, we went to the farmer's market. We have a weekly tradition now of buying a dozen mini doughnuts while we're there! There was a guy named Carter Freeman that was playing some music there. He was really good.

We, of course, had to take them to see the grizzly bears. They weren't super active this time. Although a few of the bears kept trying to climb up their cages. You can't see it very well, but this guy is a few steps up. Then went to the WSU apple orchard and bought some fresh apples. Deidre and I went to the RS Broadcast after that. It was really good as well.

It was Hailey's birthday on Saturday so we went over to their house to celebrate. I made here this cake. I was super excited about it. I even make the chocolate leaves.

No, they are not chocolate covered leaves...just plain chocolate. I used real leaves as a mold.

I think she liked it...

We were going to take Brett and Hailey flying on her birthday, but it was too windy, so everyone got up early Sunday morning and headed to the airport. I couldn't go because I had to be at the church early. Adam did a very good job of catching all the action on camera though. The gates were locked, so Deej had to brake in!

Brett was a little nervous about the flight, but everything went fine!

Here are some aerial shots of the Moscow/Pullman area. This one is the golf course.

This is a shot of the wheat fields on the Palouse. They all made it back just in time for church to start. We came home after church and ate some grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup and then the Warr's headed back home.

It was a great weekend. We're looking forward to Alona and Julie visiting us in a few weeks!

It looks like a fun weekend. The leaves on the cake look really cool, I'll have to try that.

I love the shots from the plane, but love your chocolate leaves even more. Adam got what he deserved with the strong hands! :)
