This last weekend we went to my parent's house for Mother's Day. It was a lot of fun and great to get out of town for a few days. We drove the truck down so we could help them haul some stuff to the dump. The first thing that needed to go was the old big satellite dish. Gary helped my Dad take it down while I pretended to help by lamely grabbing onto it every once in a while. While all this excitement was taking place, my mom was raking up some leaves and sticks. That task was more up my alley so I helped her instead! Then after everything was loaded into the truck, we went up to the dump to drop it all off. I of course was a lot of help! I threw some screws, bolts, and sticks while they chucked all the heavy insignificant stuff.
After all the work was done we went to the new X Men Origins-Wolverine movie. I really liked it! It will definitely be one that I want to buy when it comes out.
After the movie we went to Canton City, a chinese buffet that we really like. However, there was one thing that happened there that I did NOT like. I was eating the house shrimp, minding my own business, when I went to eat one of them and I saw what looked like a little black hair on it. Well I used my fork to inspect it and I found that it wasn't just a little piece of hair, it was a long one that was wrapped around the shrimp! I could have just puked... Everyone was reassuring me that they were sure the hair was clean. They were also trying to get me to look on the bright side, "at least you didn't eat it, at least it was black and you could see it..." but none of these really helped me. However, the soft serve machine did help me feel better by supplying me with all the vanilla ice cream I could eat.

On our way out of the restaurant we all grabbed a fortune cookie. I always get a kick out of some of the fortunes they put in those things. But this time we got some really good ones! Mine said, "There's no such thing as an ordinary cat." I don't know who thought of this one, but I wonder if while they were writing it they laughed as hard as I did when I read it. Gary's fortune was actually perfect for him. It said, "There is no greater cure for misery than hard work." And for those of you who know Gary know that he has a hard time sitting still for too long. He always has projects that he's working on and he is always working hard. So that fortune cookie and Gary were meant for each other! Me and my cookie on the other hand... It cracked me up. I guess I must be more of a dog person.
So all in all it was a really good weekend! I loved the relaxing we got to do and it was nice to be there for Mother's Day!
Here are just a few pictures we took on our little trip. :)
This is my parent's apple tree. It has so many blossoms! I thought it was so pretty.
The bees were pretty much having a hay day with all the flowers.
I loved all the pink tulips!
This is just us! Gary is, of course, still in his church clothes. Sometimes I have to make him change or else he'll stay in them all day. Haha
