Friday night Grandma arrived and we headed over to hang out with our cousins. We played a freaky game of Trivial Pursuit. We kept getting Michael Jackson related questions!
Saturday we hiked part of the Sugar River trail through Albany. We must of chosen the boring route. It was pretty much a straight line hike, not very scenic, but the exercise was worth it.
Saturday afternoon Grandma treated us to Transformers II Revenge of The Fallen. It was a fun, summer time movie, however we are questioning the PG-13 rating. We think we heard a few F-bombs coming from the racist/stereotyped robots.
Sunday we hiked Magnolia Bluff. The weather was great except for the fact the breeze blew in the pig farm aroma. If you live in the country you know what I'm talking about. I'll take cow manure over pig any day! Part of the trail at Magnolia bluff was washed out with several large trees blown down. The boys had a great time climbing over and through the downed branches as we attempted to climb up the hillside. I was happy we made it up all the way. I'm hoping my MIL got good pictures since I had forgotten my camera.
The ants are back in my bathroom. Every summer they come in, I think looking for water. Hate to do it, but I'm leaving out Terro poison.
The wasps seem to be gone. I think I killed about a dozen or so before they finally got the hint a nest in between the doorway wasn't the best spot.
I'm so happy to have the air conditioning turned off! It feels so refreshing to open windows and air out. All this week we should be able to continue with this since our temperatures are back in the 70's! Yeah!
Looking forward to it being a 4 day work week for DH. I'm still working my same hours, but just having an extra day with him makes this week special for me.
I better get moving. I've made a vow that today is mine. I don't want to spend all it sitting here, when its so perfect outside.

Glad the wasps are gone! I had to zap a couple of nests around our house over the weekend. We found that if we leave the poisoned "nest" hanging, it keeps them away from that spot for good! Might not look pretty - but the wasps are gone!
I grew up in pig and corn country... know that smell well! LOL Glad you are enjoying family and some good hikes!
Sounds like a nice weekend. Glad the wasps are gone. Ants are so hard to get rid of. Enjoy your extra time with hubby!
Sounds like a very fun weekend. :o)
I am soooo jealous of your temps in the 70s tho. We won't see those again until late September. Boo hoo for us! :o(
It sounds like you've had some good activities and fun time over the weekend. It's good!
I'd love to go hiking. I'd also love to go camping sometimes but it's something that isn't too easy to do in the city area. You know, there are always soma mad people who would come around and bother while I was sleeping in a tent, and anything else "silly" would happen.
I should ask if my father still has his old tent he used with my mother when they were in their early 20's and traveled around Europe by motorbike. Oh, how I envy them that they've been able to! It'd be a great way to do some camping at the cottage. The village is surely calm and more safe than Helsinki.
Haunted by Michael Jackson....that *is* freaky! lol
