Lots of fun but not much blogging or picture taking.

Well, I had a mind to take pictures with all of our family here over the weekend but not so. We were too busy I guess at least that is my excuse. Our story begins:

Friday night fun night:

We went out to dinner at a Thai restaurant. The decor/ambiance left somewhat to be desired and also started us off with low expectations but the food was quite good and in the end we left with a positive feeling and full bellies. I wouldn't say it was best in town but best we have had so far with a sample of one.

Saturday:

We went the next morning to pick up our Swiss Uncle from the airport not without some drama. We decided to go into to see him come through the doors. We waited and while and not much happened so we ran down to the baggage claim and no one was there. We looked through the bags and none looked big enough to be Uncle A's. So we asked the attendant if he could check to see if he was on the plan. He got on his computer and said, "He was supposed to be on the plane but he didn't board". So then we start to think of lots of worse case scenarios. I called the wife to make sure she didn't have messages and to see if she could contact him on his cell. By the time I hang up, the attendant says, " Oops I was looking at the wrong day, he was on the flight and he should be here somewhere." But where could he be this is not exactly a big airport. So we decide to go upstairs to see if he is outside on the upper deck as we had only looked below. As we were going up he was coming down. So this is the answer to the mystery. He arrived and passed through the entry doors before we arrived there. As we waited for him there he went not to the baggage claim but to the front desk ticket counter to change his return flight. So this is where he was as we ran around trying to figure out where he went. All was well that ended well and we proceeded to Costco for steak and etc. That night we followed the BSU game and Uncle A crashed on the futon at 8pm due to some residual jet lag. The game turned out well with a BSU win.

Sunday:

This was a busy day with morning meeting and a potluck afterwards followed by our first big gospel mtg which was pretty nice. We will be having them Wed and Sun. This should be a good year for us. Afterwards we went for a quick visit with the cousins of our cousins and then back home for dinner (Uncle A steak) and a game of Settlers that I dominated.

Monday:

The day started with sourdough waffles thanks to Auntie and then we did some last minute shopping with Uncle A before we put him on the plane with only 3 pounds over on his luggage to which they allowed with a reprimand. So we said our goodbyes with plans for them to come mid Dec through mid Jan. The grandparents and i picked up the kids and had a quick campus visit and then it was home for napping. All in all a busy and fun weekend with plans to get back together soon for more fun this winter.

Sorry about the no pictures. Maybe for the winter visit.
