The Wedding Business

The wedding business (www.receptionsbyvalerieyoung.com) is still going great. It has somehow kept a steady pace, and very slowly the average is going up. We ought to do more advertising, but we're pretty lazy about it. With Paul in school again, we just don't have much free time. But it's fun doing the weddings together. There's a good feeling of accomplishment after each one.

This is the Place Heritage Park

We enjoyed the tail end of This is the Place Heritage Park's annual FREE day. It wasn't nearly as hot as last year and they had free ice cream cones. It's a fun place visit.

He NEVER poses, let alone ASK me to take his picture!

They have a really fun train to play on, plus a row of playhouses to play in.

Pinewood Derby

Our cub scouts had a pinewood derby fundraiser and anyone was eligible to race a car. I thought I'd get one for Tyson, but when we went to the scout shop to pick one up, Zach got excited too, so they each got their own. I did my best to shape something that kind of resembled cars out of the pine block, and they painted them on their own. They couldn't wait to race them tonight. It was fun seeing the excitement in their eyes as the cars raced down the track (even though their light cars were among the slowest).
