Time in CA with Aaron, Russell and Lori in Nashville, Dinner with grandkids :) Father's Day, white water rafting for Erin's bday

I'm here at our son Russell's house in Antelope, Ca. Aaron had ACL surgery not quite 3 weeks ago. Russell and Lori are in Nashville, TN with friends John and Andrea to celebrate Andrea's 50th Birthday. Russell asked me if I wouldn't mind coming over while they're gone as Aaron is pretty immobile right now. Of course I said sure! 

Yesterday's dinner crew, Kenna, Aaron, Seth, Mason and Chloe ๐Ÿ’—


They left Saturday morning very early, and I got here around 1200. In time to make lunch. After a bit I ran over to my sister Linda's house to see Owen and Cassidy. No pictures though :(. Talked with Dusty and Chelsea too. They were ordering pizza so I tagged on to their order and brought one home for Aaron and me. YUM! 

I think they're enjoying! Russell, Lori, Andrea and John! ๐Ÿ’–

Sunday morning, just about 1030 Ken got here. It was up in the air whether he'd come, but glad he did. We had champagne Sunday and enjoyed their back patio as the afternoon was nice. A simple meal of Winco chicken and salads for dinner. 

Monday he headed back home after stopping at Lowe's  in Carson City to pick up some more wood for the expansion.  He is getting side tracked too as John has a project too that Ken is helping with. 

Sunday I invited Seth and Mason if they wanted to come by I'd fix them dinner on Monday.  As a nice surprise Chloe and Kenna came too. ๐Ÿ’—Spent the morning making enchiladas, coleslaw and rice. Ice cream sundaes for dessert if they  wanted them. Totally enjoyed the visit! 

Today, I ran to Walmart for a few groceries (again lol) got back and Aaron was up so he had a late French Toast breakfast. It's been egg sandwiches the last couple, so nice he wanted a change. 

I'll be here until Thursday morning. Russell and Lori will be home Thursday too. Always enjoy any time I get with grandsons! :) 

Last week Adam came to visit from Tuesday until Friday morning when he left for work from our house. We definitely enjoyed that visit too! He went camping Sunday evening after work, then hiking Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday evening about 1700 he was at our place. ๐Ÿ’™

Beautiful sunset in Yerington

One picture from his hike. Looks so much better on 
his I Phone. 


Erin's 26th Birthday was June 2nd and she spent that in Florida visiting a friend. Adam booked a white water rafting adventure for June 4th for the both of them. They lucked out and they were the only ones booked that day, so it was more like a private adventure with their guide. There was a raft behind them for trainee guides. Some great pictures were gotten. 











They will be doing it again! They loved it! 

Eric had a nice Father's Day with his boys, Seth and Mason


That's a pond near Eric's house. 




Father's Day Champagne Sunday in Antelope, CA 

Just doing that half to start, roof is on now the leveling of
the ground for pavers. 

Won't take long and the wood will darken from the sun.

Pictures are in the wrong order but this was beginning

Well, time to get this posted and start on dinner. Tonight's meal is ham, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. Aaron's request. Seth will be stopping by too. ๐Ÿ’–

Have a great night!
