Our week in a nutshell...

Brady and Ivan had check-ups this week. 

Weston wasn't feeling well, so I added his name to the roster and almost left Koper home.

Good thing I took Koper, he ended up taking a turn for the worse while we were there.

We've all had strep throat this week with some other croup stuff.

My life is officially a circus.

 My old roommate Ryan and I took a little hike on the Appalachian Trail yesterday. We hiked out to a shelter, fired up our stoves and made ramen for lunch, and then sat in the sun for a while before heading back to the car. On our hike back, Ryan stepped on a small snake that was sitting in the middle of the trail. The way he  jumped and screamed "snake" brought back plenty of memories from the good old mowing days. After our hike we wandered around Harpers Ferry, WV a bit and then ate a funnel cake and drove home.

Reunion Vinyettes

Friday after work Mom and I we talking about reunion activities and figured we better reserve a spot at Kamiak Butte for our Monday afternoon activity and talent show. I called Whitman County Parks Department and we reserved the "Pine" shelter (lower left on the disply) for our reunion. The lady was very nice and took all the info and reserved it for the Zirker Family Reunion. We found that the park is open year round so we drove out right then. We both enjoy the setting and views but there was still a little snow and ice although there were several families all bundled up having a picnic. I took a picture of this display to show kind of what it is like and to show that there is a nature hike up and along the ridge of the butte. It is 3.5 miles long and can be done in 1-2 hours. Just a thought. We'll send more as we get closer.

We went to Home Depot and picked out the tile for the shower and floor and then went to Moscow Builders and ordered the vanity, counter top, and mirror. Hold onto your wallet. I guess the cost is just a fact of life. Finding a contractor is this weeks assignment. Mom is home for spring break so she will be organizing and cleaning all week. How exciting is that?
