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.

Memorial Day Weekend 2013

We made it to Leavenworth by about 2:30 p.m. and had a little time to relax before heading off to dinner at a great rib joint. Calvin, Cashel, and Cairic loved playing Doodle Jump on my iPhone while we were waiting for dinner. I must say they were great about taking turns and not fighting about it. I will say the folks at All Slabbed Up! were not messing around when it came to the food. We're talkin' serious BBQ here.

Trip To Leavenworth Part 1

Friday May 27, 2011

Mom came over at about 10;30 and we left in her vehicle with Dale driving.

Lunch at Perkins in Clear Lake, Iowa at about 12:45. I had the Captain's Catch which was lots of deep fried seafood with onion rings and fries. Mom and Dale got healthier stuff.

Crossed over the Missouri River just before 7 p.m. and pulled up in front of Sam and Becky's house right at 7. The boys were very excited to see us. Becky said they'd been anticipating our arrival all day long.

Calvin, Cashel and Cairic performed Home on the Range on their glockenspiels. They sang too!
