Cairic's Birthday

Saturday May 24, 2014

Celebrated Cairic's birthday today with an Indiana Jones themed birthday party. Becky put a lot of effort into the shindig with Mom's help and also with the help of her friends Jenny and Sally the whole thing turned into quite a fun production. Dale and I helped with the limbo in our native masks.

In the evening we went to Baan Thai, a restaurant in Leavenworth. I, of course, had a martini.

And We're Off

Friday, May 23, 2014

Left at 10:00 a.m. for Leavenworth. Mom was driven down by Uncle Denny a week ago.

Crossed into Iowa around 11:30 a.m. Stopped near Dows, Iowa for a picnic lunch. Before leaving Minneapolis we stopped at Kowalski's to pick up some wraps and also corn and bean salads from the deli. It was nice to eat outside because Athena could be with us. She enjoyed a quick run before we hit the road again. She was perfect in the car the entire way.

Crossed into Missouri about 3:45 p.m.  After getting in we took Athena for a walk with the boys. Ordered pizza and watched Raiders of the Lost Ark with Sam, Becky, the boys, and Mom.

Annual Trip to Leavenworth

Yep, time once again for our annual trip to Kansas. While walking Athena prior to our departure, I noted that it finally felt like a spring day in May. It was slightly cool with a gentle breeze although the sun was out which made it feel warm. It was a perfect balance. Leavenworth is supposed to be in the 70s and 80s.
