We took a weekend to visit Shem and LaDawn in Boise. There we were able to watch Analee play some volleyball and Damien play some soccer. They seemed to have fun and it was good to see them active. It was a good weekend and it was nice to get away for a short while.
Grandma and Grandpa Cockrell also came to visit. It was really nice to have them come. Raif was a slow to warm up to them, but by the time they were ready to take off, he was ready to follow grandpa around. Dad and I did a lot of yard work. We spent a greater portion of a day trying to get a $25 weed eater to work. In the end, we had cleaned everything possible and adjusted it also. We got it going and it is still working. Sometimes it is just nice to work with dad and try to figure stuff out. We also did some site seeing in the area, but more than anything we just spent time together.
We have a garden that mostly Angela and her Lisa Reeves work on. It is doing OK, but the weeds are tough to keep at bay. We'll see how it all does come harvest time.
Just an update about our finches. Grandma and Angela bought some toys for them, a traumatic experience for them when the "big giant hand " reached in and threatened everything they know. It was questionable for a while whether they would recover or not. They have, and are playing with themselves in the mirror and like to swing on the ladder.
