GIRLS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man...us gals had SO much fun spending the weekend together!! The 4 ladies that came (Karen Varcoe, her daughter Megan, Julia Cary, and Joann Smith) got here last Friday at about 5:30. We had Golda Condron, and Pat Richardson over for dinner and games that night, as well. We all stayed up late...but Julia and I stayed up chit-chatting until 2:00 am!! Saturday morning, we all slept in...and finally had breakfast at 11:30!!!!! After breakfast, we headed into Bend for some mini-golf and go-karts, at Sun Mountain Fun Center!! We laughed...and laughed...and had SO much fun!! We left there and headed into downtown Bend to the Old Mill District, to eat dinner along the Deschutes River at Red Robin. After we ate, we headed back into downtown Bend and saw a big street fair of some sort, so we found a parking place, hopped out, walked over, and then realized that it was the Bite of Bend.....all food! So we left there, and went over to the new 'self-service' frozen yogurt place across the street. It was DELICIOUS!! About 12-16 different kinds of frozen yogurt that you help yourself to...add your own toppings...then pay by the weight. FUN!! We headed home after that for another late night of game-playing!
On Sunday, we all headed to Ralph and Jeanie Holtby's house for Sunday Morning Meeting. We had 11 visitors that day. It was very nice...everyone hung around afterwards for quite a while, so we got a great group shot! Unfortunately, my camera battery died right when I took the shot, so I don't have a copy of it yet to put on here, but I will put up a picture of all the young people that were there. It was a very sweet meeting! After meeting, we headed home for some lunch, and an afternoon game of croquet, and badminton. If you're on Facebook (who isn't...except for YOU, COLEEN VARCO)...you can see all of my pictures from the weekend. We had a GREAT time...and have already planned our next time together...in August, to float down the Deschutes River!! :)
Today, we're looking forward to Kathy Hill coming for dinner, since she's in town, and then on Friday the boys will be back for another week (yay, yippee, hooray!!!!!!!!!!). Carol's daughter Cherilyn, and her hubby Ben, and their 'daughter' McKenzie are going to come stay with us for a couple of days over the 4th of July too...so we're having a great summer...and it's only going to get better!!!! Hope you all can say the same!!
