A weekend outdoors

I got to spend so much time outside over the long weekend. I loved it! Friday, I took the boys out to the park after lunch. I chased them and the little friends they made around the playground playing the "brain-sucker" game. If I catch them I get to suck their brains out. After playing at the park we went back to their house and got their bikes and the dog to take a walk at Speigel Grove. The dog was pulling me along the entire way--she doesn't get out much. We spend about an hour walking around. The trip was tiring because they walked their bikes down a big hill and then had to walk them back up. I couldn't help them because I had to keep a hold on the dog. We went back to their house and I put in Star Wars Episode III for them so that they could relax after our busy afternoon and so the time would pass quicker. I spend the entire evening at home cleaning in preparation for my special guest. Saturday J got to my house around 2:15 or so. He brought flowers for both me and my mother. She was impressed by the gesture. I let them talk for a little bit before J and I went on a little walking tour of Fremont. I was so excited to show him where I grew up. I showed him the downtown area. We walked up some streets with really pretty houses. We also took a walk through the Grove and went into the Hayes Museum. He actually was interested at looking around the museum so we did that for a little bit. I got to show him the doll house that I used to fantacize about playing with as child (sometimes I still do). It belonged to president Hayes's daughter. It is large and very intricate. After that we went back to my house where he got to chat with my mother a little more. Then we decided to go play putt-putt so we walked down to the place only to discover it was closed. By that time, it was near the supper hour so we walked back up to my house and got in the car to head to Woody's Drive-In Resaurant. The food there was excellent as always. J really liked the food and the root beer (we brew it ourselves). I went and talked to my boss (I worked at this place for four years. I have taken two summers off to watch the boys) and I asked her if she would want my help this summer and she garunteed me a job. She asked me what I wanted to do and I said "run end" (which is cook) because I knew that that is the job I'm best at and she usually needs people there, but she said "how about car hop" which is what I really wanted. That was pretty awesome. So, this summer I will be babysitting the boys and car hopping at Woody's. After dinner we went to the local movie theatre and watched a crappy movie. Then we went and got ice cream. After ice cream, we colored Easter eggs in my kitchen. I got this weird kind of dye because it was sparkly and he loves sparkly things. It was interesting to work with. We watched the movie American Splendor. The movie was and enjoyable way to end the day. Saturday was such a great day because I got to show J where I come from.
