Saturday again

It's Saturday again, and since I've been procrastinating at posting lately, I figure now is as good a time as any to do it. :)

Work is still really busy, I logged 54 hours this week, and probably have another 2-4 weeks of that ahead of me while we get the machine running. It's good work, and I enjoy it, but it's still some long hours to be spending in the plant and such.

We went to the Woodbury Days fair last night, it was pretty fun. They had a cover band playing that was pretty decent, they were called Boogie Wonderland, very Disco-riffic, if you get my 'vibe' :) We played some carnival games, won a few stuffed animals for the boys, had some fresh-made doughnuts, and just generally enjoyed getting out and enjoying the nice little fair. The Minnesota State Fair is going now through Labor Day, so we'll probably head over there later this week. I hear the food is fabulous.

Today our Company had thier annual summer picnic. It was great. They had a big drawing for prizes (everything from a 20" Flat screen TV/DVD combo to a cooler was in there), lots of food (Boston Market catering, yum!!), a volleyball competition between the shop and the engineers, and a big inflatable bouncy room for the kids. Needless to say, Benjamin and Joshua thought it was the greatest thing ever. :)

And Benjamin bouncing around inside :)

Other than that, life has been going well. Ben is working his way through potty training, it's a bit slow at times, but he's had two dry days so far, and we told him once he had 10 he would get a bike. So he's got his chart on the fridge with stickers over the days that he stays dry. He's very excited about it, so it shouldn't be long before he really gets it.

I'll post a story or two about France tomorrow on here (same bat time, same bat channel), so tonight I'll end with a few random family pictures, and a video we took from the top of the mountain we hiked up while in France. The tiny houses you see in the trees are Camp des Cimes where we were staying. We hiked up a few thousand feet to get this view. Very amazing. :)

Ok... so I can't figure out how to post the video on here... Any one have an idea? I'll keep trying and hopefully get it up tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone!
