We just had another great weekend. Saturday we started out the day by going to Lowe's in Grand Forks to their Build & Grow Clinic. The kids go to build Monster Trucks! They're pretty neat.
After Lowe's, we dropped off a bunch of stuff at a thrift store. It sure feels good to have all that stuff out of my house! It's nice to be able to give away the clothes that are too small for the kids and/or the excess of clothes and other household stuff that we don't need. We stopped and got a few essentials from Walmart and then headed to Binford. We went thru Thompson, so we were able to see the path where the tornado went West of town. It's crazy how just the path had mangled trees and flattened buildings, but not even 1/4 mile away, things were just fine.
Saturday afternoon was my class's 10 year high school reunion. There were a total of 25 of us that graduated and a few others that didn't. I just realized I had been counting 13 of us that were there, but it was actually 15. Not too bad of a turn-out for the 10 year! We met up at the park in Binford, the kids played, we grilled some burgers and hot dogs, and visited. It was fun to see everyone and kind of funny to see some of the guys as dads.
After the reunion, we headed to my mom's in Jamestown. We enjoyed visiting for a little while before heading to bed. Sunday morning we went to church and then celebrated the girls' birthdays with my mom & step-dad, my uncle, and my Grandpa. It's hard to believe that they are going to be 7 & 5 years old already!
Sunday afternoon, we went to Kathryn. My Grandma has been battling cancer for the last couple years and just finished up a round of radiation treatment. Her church in town hosted a benefit for her. I enjoyed seeing my dad's side of the family. The last time I seen most of them was for Grandma's 80th birthday which was about 5 years ago. Hailey was only about 15 months old at the time, so they were able to meet Lexi and Jacob for the first time.
When we were heading home from Kathryn, we were able to watch a rainbow for most of the trip to Fargo. As we got closer to Fargo, it got brighter and brighter. There was even a faint 2nd rainbow, too! Once we got to the North side of town, it pretty much disappered. This was the only picture we got on my camera and it was just before it disappered. You can just barely see it right about in the middle of the picture.
When we got home, we were greeted by 5 little 1-inch long frogs by our front step. They were pretty cute! Hailey caught one this afternoon while playing outside.
Isn't he cute?!
Here's a few more pictures of some of mom's flowers and my red geraniums. :)
