Mom/Dad visit

Ryan traveled overseas to Taiwan for over a week and thankfully, mom and dad came for part of it.  I'm severely outnumbered when Ryan isn't here and it definitely has its challenges!  I made a list for my dad this time because when he doesn't have something to do, he can get in trouble.  He pressure washed and scraped the driveway cracks from all the years of him trying to repair the cracks.  Then he came up with his own concoction for putting in the cracks and for whatever reason it doesn't appear to be water proof, so lesson learned, use products the way they were intended!  Mom and I also came home from meals on wheels to find dad in the tree.  It was very scary watching him try to get down.  I asked him to trim it but didn't think he would cut the whole thing in a 2 hour span.  It was quite a mess but with the use of ALL the neighbors green bins, we were able to get it cleaned up in one weekend.  Next year there will be clear communication!  The other thing we worked on was the attic.  I got an attic ladder installed and dad and I put in the plywood, so there was a nice base and moved all the Christmas decorations out of the garage.  It just happened to be the hottest of days, so we were dripping with sweat, but I wanted to surprise Ryan so we had a deadline.

The old timer car show was in town, so that was a fun walk through history.
 Lunch at a new restaurant, Monica's.  It was o.k. but not likely a place we will go back to.

 Reggie had a swim meet....grandma looks so little
 One must take a snooze in the sun :).  Lots of closet Trumpees came out of the woodwork to chat with dad.

 Ryan and Ainsley went to the Eric Church concert and we had movie night...dads pick, Aladdin, hmmm.
