Yep.

I remembered what we had to do on Wednesday! Pick up the kids from the airport.

After taking Bravo to the Petco groomers at 4:00pm, we stopped at Costco for gasoline then went inside for a few necessities. There were LOTS of people there, gathering up supplies for the 4th of July USA Independence Day holiday. We snapped a tag on 'Lil Bit and took him in with us. He enjoyed riding in the cart; though he did do a couple little circular runs in the cart before he settled down. He thoroughly enjoyed walking in the soft green grass outside of Costco when he had to potty!

Picked up Cafe Lattes at McD's before we went out to Rathdump to check on a topper for the truck. Unfortunately, it was the incorrect size for our pickup. Try, try again. . .

Then dropped our purchases at home before returning at 7:00PM with Kelsey's Jeep to pick up the B-Bo. He had gotten a Blueberry facial and a Creamsicle shampoo - came out of the store all wiggly & excited! Smelled good. Peed an extraordinary amount in the grassy area next to the store! 'Lil bit was excited to see his friend again. Drove over to the Car Wash to take both our vehicle & Kelsey's through for cleaning. Then vacuumed both cars.

Stopped at a park in CDA to walk the dogs. They chased each other all over. The dogs then rode in our vehicle with Greg. I was grooving out to the nice sound system in Kelsey's Jeep. Saw quite a few patrol cars on the interstate as we drove to Spoky-Jo.

Thought we might be in time to pick up burritos at Taco del Mar, but they were already closed at 8:55PM! So sad. I was really in the mood for burritos. Then went to Shari's as it was the only 24-hour place still open. "They" roll up the sidewalks and close everything at 9:00PM.

Walked the dogs again after we ate, then continued on through the downtown construction on I-90 to the Spoky-Jo International Airport. We were early. Walked the dogs again. Some irritating woman & her kid sat down beside us, then proceed to pet the puppies. The kids' plane came in 10 minutes late. Their AF rep was on hand to meet the kids.

Took them to their car, Matt got to drive. He seemed pretty happy at seeing their new car for the first time ever!

Bravo went with Matt & Kelsey to their new temporary home. We drove home with 'Lil Bit. Finally got to bed at 1:00AM. Whew! What a day.

On Thursday, the kids came over with Bravo. Hubby and I had really missed him last night. Kids had stopped off at the grocery store to pick up hot dogs & hamburgers to grill. It was the first time Matt had ever grilled on propane, but he did an outstanding job. My hamburger was great. Had beans & potato salad, but forgot about the watermelon that I had balled earlier!

M&K brought me a couple plastic England "souvenir" ducks - one with the UK flag, and the other looks like a "Beefeater" or "Duckeater" as Matt said!

Hubby spent all day in the shop working on the boat engine finally coming home to bed at 11:00PM. Sure hope he gets it finished b4 the 4th so that we can take it down to Bayview and watch their fireworks from the water!
