Memorial Day weekend

Saturday evening we had all the camping friends over to watch the UFC fights. The men stayed upstairs to watch the fights while the women went downstairs to act like Sing Stars. Fun was had by all. Braxton, the boy in the middle, even had a ball trying to sing whatever songs were picked. Karyn even brought a cake for the wife for her Birthday on Sunday. It was delicious and we only had 2 pieces left once everyone left. Sunday we went to see Indiana Jones, good entertainment. Monday was relaxation day with the only strenuous activity being taking the trailer back to the parents for storage. We really should build a bigger garage so we can keep it at our house. We are blessed to have the friends we do and the means in which to go camping in style when the weather permits.

Cheese curds lottery Day

Who in their right mind would set their alarm on a day off? We the White family did just that. We had to get to Logan while the Cheese Curds were still fresh at Gossners. After sampling their different flavored milks, cheese curds and dips. We loaded up on Jerky flavored Cheese Curds and regular cheese curds. Jordan even got himself a few of the the flavored milk, rootbeer and Mango. Once you have driven that far, why not go another 20 miles to Idaho. The boys have never been to Idaho and who knows we could be the next winners of the PowerBall Lottery. That is a long shot but one can dream. By the end of the trip, the dogs were bored of being in the truck for 4 hours straight and the boys are tuckered out. We are finally home and ready for the next whim that catches our fancy.

What is wrong with these pictures?

Today we were supposed to leave for our Memorial Day camping trip to Monroe. The weather people just would not cooperate. You would think that if gas is the price of gold these days that we could at least get some decent weather for a long weekend. Oh well. We decided not to go camping. Why spend all the money on gas just to sit in the trailer all weekend long? Not worth it. So here we are playing basketball with our extra kid and throwing a stick for the dogs. Daphne had made out like a bandit today though. New haircut, new drivers license and a new pair of shoes. How does she rate? I will add more tomorrow. Since we are going for a little ride.

Clay pigeon shooting

After our ride up to the B, we met Dave at the shooting range. This was to try out his new X3 rifle he won at the Ducks Unlimited banquet a couple of weeks ago. As you can see, Boo was not too happy about the noise and hid under the brake pedal of the truck. Charlie was hanging out the window to see where I was and what I was doing. Boy a box of Clay pigeons go fast when you are having fun.

First ride of 2008

Last weekend was the perfect weather to go on the first 4 Wheeler ride with the wife and 2 dogs. So we loaded up the trailer and the new wheeler and headed up to the B. After hitting about 2 patches of soft snow we decided since it was only the 2 of us that we better turn around. We stopped a couple of times on the way down to enjoy the scenery below. And the dogs even found a stick to play/fight over. Talking to a few other riders, we could have made it to the top which was just packed snow.
