It was explained to me that the biggest thing to blog about is what you do on the weekends; while, I'm a few days late, I shall go ahead and fill in everyone about the things we did this last weekend!
The guys, Nick & Tim, had been begging Lindsay and I to have a night of computer gaming time so we acquiesced. Friday night Lindsay and I went and watched The Proposal and the guys played their hearts out until after 3 a.m. A bit after Lindsay and I collapsed. Saturday we slept in until some ridiculous hour, ate brunch and then decided to spend the afternoon at a park. The park we discovered was quite fantastic. http://www.everettwa.org/default.aspx?ID=541 Nestled in north Everett, this gem of a park was a great find! The three-tiered, 28-acre park provides spectacular views, trails, tennis courts, the Lewis and Clark Native Garden, an off-leash dog area and safe access to a saltwater beach (this is the statement description on the website). I will agree that there were spectacular views, a lovely trail, an off-leash dog area and tennis courts. We did not explore enough to find the Native Garden, but regarding the safe access to a saltwater beach is a little sketchy. There was a huge amount of driftwood on the beach, the waves were quite large and the off-leash dog area is on the end of one of the beach areas with very limited accessability if the tide is roaring in. Olive (Tim & Lindsay's dog) was very brave and decided to join another dog in chasing a ball out into the sound; some of the waves were overwhelming to her, but she did quite well. Jack, on the other hand, was his usual wussy self and only got wet up to his belly before chickening out and staying close to shore. The waves were great to watch and we will be back; maybe on a calmer day and after checking tide times! The evening was spent with more computer game time and playing of the Wii until our arms were too tired.
On Sunday I followed the good housewife role and while Nick went for a bike fitting and hair cut I blazed through the house cleaning, doing laundry, etc. I then proceeded to work outside mowing, weeding, pruning, watering and then convincing Nick to rototill the next section of our backyard as we plod forward in our outdoor "remodeling" project. The guys came on Monday and cut down 2 trees and pruned another. I went and bought two trees (today 7/21) to replace one and plant another in a different spot. Someday (hopefully soon!) we'll have a backyard and we'll invite people over for a BBQ!
There it is folks! Our first weekend blog; hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for more exciting Tomczek adventures.
