Surprise...Surprise...

Dad and Sue came into town yesterday. What they were unaware of is that many of our family members are about to invade them while they are up at Tamarack for a surprise weekend for the 25th wedding anniversary. We got a bonus visit with Junior and the kids but were also sad because Lesa, Wendy, and Johnnie were unable to make it. 

Friday we all headed up the mountain and as people arrived, car by car we all met at their house. I was up to making a spaghetti dinner for everyone.

LOVE IT!

Fishin' with the family!

 No fish but lots of fun!

Headed into McCall, good time for a power nap!

Ready for round 2!

Summer fun with family friends!

Dani, Tommy, and the family came over today for a BBQ. It was so nice to get some time together without any interruptions. We don't get to spend nearly enough time together these days so today was a great day!

Today, Tex, TJ, and I attended our first Benefit & Auction. What an experience and what a great cause!

One of our good friends son has a bone barrow disease and many of his friends and the community have rallied around him and his family in support.

Tex and I were eager to lend a hand and it was super fun!

Woodriver Cellars

Some post race vino.

Sheree, Christy and I purchased a groupon for a Woodriver Cellars wine tasting trip.

We were unable to find time for all of us to go before it expired so Sheree and I went today and Christy and Ike will go at a later date. We missed you Christy!

 mmm

"Can we have a little cheese to go with that wine?"

 

My kind of wine...

served with chocolate!

Taste...

Chase with chocolate...

Taste some more ... : )

After our Pu' Pu's we headed outside to look around. It really is a beautiful Winery.

Look at these Toads that were in the pond... 

They are huge!

And Cute!

Another super great time with a super great friend!

Thanks Sheree!
