Sunny Weekend in the Tri-Cities...

Judging solely off of Friday, I  anticipated the worst for this past weekend.  (The horse getting out, running around like an idiot, breaking the lead rope once she was finally caught and tied up, AND THEN SITTING ON MY CAR... you know, the little things.  Haha.)  Luckily, I anticipated incorrectly.

Saturday morning Rich and I went up to mum and pop's house to take care of a few horsie things that I didn't end up finishing the night before.  It was a gorgeous day, and thankfully Jeep was on his best behavior!  Made for a nice start to my Saturday.

Then off to Rich's house to grab the boat!  It was a beautiful day, and I think that sitting on the boat in the warm sunshine is the BEST way to do homework!  Also, it was nice to spend a little time on the boat with just the two of us; even if most of my time was spent staring at books.  Which by the way- Bless Rich, :) he is so understanding when I have loads of homework to complete.  How did I get so lucky? :)  Anywho, all in all a nice afternoon on the boat.

That evening we went back to Rich's house for a bonfire.  A couple friends came over, and we burnt a bit of the junk from my backyard.  Again, relaxing and great weather.

Then Sunday morning Rich, Jobin and I headed out to the dunes for a little jaunt on the 4 wheelers.  Yet again, perfect weather.  We met one of Rich's friends out there, and then I met up with some of the old crew (Derek, Brandy, Thomas, Adam, Lance, Derek's dad, Tammy, ect.).  Rich's quad ran great (YAY!), and I had a great time.  Jobin had a bit of a wreck, but the bike was fine, and he ended up with only a couple scrapes and bruises.  I think I was beaming the whole way back to Rich's house... I just LOVE riding.  Not sure why, but it is one of the best feelings to go out there and attempt tear it up on a quad (still can't catch Rich).  :)  

Once we arrived back at Rich's, we dropped off the quads and hooked up the boat.  River here we come!  We met a few people out on the Columbia, and had a great afternoon of sunshine and friends.

All and all, an awesome weekend.  I love the Tri-Cities... we have a playground here in our backyard... with 80 degree weather in APRIL.  Love it. :)  Not to mention, we are so lucky; not many people are able to do the things that we get to do on a regular basis. 

Looking forward to this weekend!  Not sure that it will quite measure up to this past weekend (as my house is in dire need of cleaning and yard work) but I hope that we are able to go out on the boat at least one of the days... providing the weather is nice.
