Ahh, nothing like a good war reenactment to wind up your weekend.

Hello once again! This past weekend was probably one of our busiest yet! So here we go.....

Geo finally got enough of his boosters that we felt safe to bring him out around other dogs. Translation: DOG PARK, WOOO! Geo was like the popular kid on the playground - everyone wanted to be around him/pet him/ pick him up etc etc which he just eats up. He couls care less about us petting him, but as soon as a complete stranger comes up to him - he turns into a total ham. So much for "stranger danger." As for the other dogs, he was very skiddish. Granted most of the other dogs were twice his size, but still - grow some cahones Geo (even though we had them surgically removed earlier....)

Geo struggles with the concept of Fetch as Nick demonstrates here.

Here's Geo with a scary German Shepherd.

Saturday Evening there was a very nice work event that was to benefit the heart center at Children's hospital. Ironically, the event is called "Evening Under the Stars" and is held in a completely enclosed tent. But it was at a golf course in the very very very very ritzy part of town (multi-million dollar homes we're talking about here). Nick and I fancied ourselves up and went to hob nob with the doctors (can you say free dinner!) It was a very nice night although we were the youngest people there so felt mildly out of place - especially when the music/dancing started. There was a 10 person cover band cleverly named Run4Cover, who, to the best of our knowledge, decided that they were going to start a band one day when they didn't get booed off a karaoke stage. It was unique to say the least. And, an apology to our parents reading this, but somewhere between having children and hitting your 40's, the ability to have any cool dance moves just flies right out the window.

Aren't we cute!

Sunday was a hoot. Fresno happens to hold the largest Civil war reenactment in the western US. To honor all of our k-12 history teachers - we had to go! We even got in for half off - due to the fact we didn't have enough cash on us for 2 tickets and the women at the gate didn't want to turn us away. It pays to never carry cash ( though not so cool when you have to use credit to buy a $.99 burger at Wendy's)! We saw President Lincoln (who, like Elvis, is still very much alive), Sojourner Truth, and Walt Whitman. It was entertaining enough - but we don't think we have to go to another one anytime soon. In case you were wondering, in the battle we watched, the Confederates one.

That's about it for now! We'll definitely have more to update very soon! We miss you all! We'll leave you with a lovely photo of Nick and his new friends!

Fresno, CA - where else can you find hooker statues?
