Another Great Visit

After a slow and uncertain start this turned out to be a great weekend. Alyssa came home sick on Friday, and we were afraid she had the norovirus as she had babysat for kids who go to the infected school earlier in the week. She slept for nearly 4 hours Friday afternoon, got up for a couple of hours, and then slept for 11 more. After that she was symptom free.

Mom and Dad came up so we belatedly celebrated Mother's Day and Noah's birthday. The weather cooperated, and we didn't have to shiver through Noah's game (they won 12-0). Then we had a late lunch/early dinner of barbecue treats at Famous Dave's in Everett. We'll definitely be going there again. We ate about 3:30, and I was so full I didn't eat again till breakfast. Breakfast was at a new place on Camano Island, the Diamond Knot (a satellite of the Diamond Knot Brewery in Mukilteo). Great food again! Forrest and I are looking forward to sitting on the porch at this new hotspot this summer sampling microbrews.

Cars were washed and waxed, Forrest crafted his own version of the Topsy Turvy tomato planter, and we celebrated the neighbor girl's 16th birthday Sunday night. Forrest and Alyssa are both sporting sunburns this morning. The forecast for Memorial Weekend looks good too. Forrest and I will be at the game Saturday night, two rows up from the ball girl on the 3rd baseline. You might catch a glimpse of us on TV if you're watching.

Thanks for the great photos Dad! Noah looks huge! I still can't get over how much I love Alyssa's new hairdo.
