Summer fun!

On a lovely Saturday in July I had a fabulous date with these two, Lori and Omar.  We started out at the Marlin Bar.

And then on to see the new art downtown...the babies.  Creepy large babies with smashed in faces.

Then on to La Quinta Brewing.

And the Spa Casino, Tropical and topped off the night at Chill Bar.

These two are way too much fun!!!

Meanwhile in Brainard MN, the boys made their annual trek to Paul Bunyon Land and took the required pictures.  Only missing Ty in the pic of cousins. 

Ty was in Lake Havasu with his friends taking a break from football.

Jake and Kari hosted a great party!!!

Love Love Love these three!!!

Meanwhile....Back in the desert.

Chuck had a birthday party for Mary and we got to see their new kitchen.  

Omar had to make a trip to Temecula to pick up his wine club selections and I was more than happy to be his date.  We went to a new winery/restaurant called LaGrange that his friends own in Murietta.  The food was excellent and the wine so good, I even joined the wine club.  

We finished out the day at Europa and Weins.  A perfect Saturday.

Whistler, BC

Our second day in Whistler we rented bikes and went to Green Lake and Alta.

There was a cool skate park for kids that the boys checked out at the end of our ride.  After Ty and Mason ate it...we decided it was time to return the bikes. 

The drive from Whistler to Vancouver.  

On 4th of July in Vancouver we rented bikes and rode around the seawall at Stanley Island.  We stayed with our lovely friends Neal and Amanda and they have already made us promise that we will come back again.  

We spent Canada Day and 4th of July in Canada.  I saw lots of USA shirts on the 4th.

Fresh picked snack on Stanley Island.

Later we went to Granville Island for lunch and made a pit stop for the boys to check out the Lambo and McLaren dealership.  We also saw Mabach and Lotus & Tesla.

We had lunch at   , the BEST fish and chips we have ever had.  Everyone was so friendly.  We met a dad and his two kids who love the spot and bike there and they could not have been nicer. Very proud of their city and it was so fun to talk to them.

Meanwhile in WA, Auggie dragged one of my shirts out of my stuff and snuggled with it.

Our birds eye view of the Golden Gate Bridge when Ty and I flew home.

SF again and a small part of Neal & Amanda's fabulous wine cellar.
