What a Pride weekend!

What a busy weekend.....we started Friday night with the White Party at Paper Moon with all our crazy friends, Then up bright and early to breakfast with my cute friend Karen and then off to Pixie's first Voice Lesson Recitel. What a STAR she is!! She was so brave and did a fantastic job!! Then it was to our house for a great BBQ, a big fire in the fire pit and an exciting night with friends. Sunday we got up early rode traxx downtown and watch the GLBT Parade and then went to the festival - We ran into old friends and caught up on old times. The sun was out and it was a beautiful fun day. Kokopelie and I volunteered in the Family Photo exhibit booth for a few hours and it was really exciting to watch people come in and see all the gay and lesbian family pictures and feel their excitment as they signed up to be a part of the next showing of the photographs. Personally I think they should be on display perminatly in the Gay and Lesbian Community Center!!
As for yesterday.....us and a few more of our buddies made the executive choice to all call in to work with 24 hour tumors and we loaded up the kids and went to Pineview Lake for the day. It was SO FANTASTIC!!! The lake was cold the sun was warm and the kids all played in the sand and surf until they couldn't stand it anymore! We all headed home sunburned and mostly recovered from the weekend!

June

OK all you blog stalkers that keep bugging me to post....This blog is for you!! It is the last week of school and Pixie can hardly wait for summer to begin! She is off to camp at the local B*oys and G*irls Club, and a week of Rock Climbing Camp at Momentum Gym. She also is going to take Horse back riding and tennis lessons and she is VERY excited about that!!We have loads of camping trips and a big river run planned for the summer. The farm is going great the lambs are growing and eating all the weeds in the pasture its awesome....The geese are insane - they really act like their name sakes (Esma and Kronk - Yes from the Emperors New Groove) Esma is a B**ch and Kronk is...well the nicest way to put it his he is mentaly challenged but a good laugh.

This past weekend Pixe and I went hiking up to Tim*pano*gos Cave (poor Kokopelie had to work). That is such a great hike and makes youu realize the majesty of this beautiful place we are lucky enough to call home! We dragged Papa and grandma with us and poor grandma just gets humiliated by Papa's sense of fashion (his theory is EVERYTHING matches camo-especially his stripy railroad over-alls!)

We are looking forward to a great Pride Day weekend and a healthy happy Summer!!
