Well, as I said, the boys are back in town! Life seems normal again. I can breathe...and almost relax. But as a mother I never really relax. I just
pretend like I do. Anyways, after work yesterday we made the trek north to meet the boys and the grandparents. My parents were FLYING in their little Scion and were about 50 miles ahead of meeting us to the halfway point. Instead of making them wait we asked if we could meet in Chowchilla instead of Merced. When we pulled into the Carl's Jr parking lot they were smiling and waving. It was a sight to see! Another sight to see was watching Grandma load up our car with the boy's gear. I have neevr seen her move so fast. She was throwing bags, blankets, pillows, toys into the back of our car. It was very humorous to watch....in fact I couldn't stop laughing. I wondered if she was actually glad to see the Hogue Tag Team be on their way. (Just Kidding mom)Anyways...Grandma and Grandpa Baer rocked this week. The boys were busy...and so was Grandma! They played (and fought) witht their cousins Natalie and Cooper, swam (and swam), made t-shirts, painted ceramics and birdhouses (and probably themselves at one point). Uncle Bob rocked! He had some extra PVC pipe in his truck so he made some lightsabers for all the kids! They were the heaviest lightsabers I have ever seen and I think they could actually take someone's head off with one of those puppies...but the boys love them. I was really impressed with the craftsmanship. I think Uncle Bobby has missed his calling in life! :)
Okay...about the nuts! My mother has this addiction with these toffee covered nuts that can be found at this stop off the 99 freeway in Traver. This joint used to be called the "Hitching Post" but are now called "Bravo Farms." There are a million signs leading up to it, so if you have never stopped there...you need to check it out. We picked up two bags for my mom on the way up to drop off the boys and we picked up another bag on the way up yesterday. Not bad payment for 4 days of fun with Grandma, Grandpa and the family! Thanks guys. We love you.
