The Weekend in Pictures...

Well, pictures and a LOT OF words. :)


The weather has still been very nice here, and I've been trying to soak up every bit of it before it's so ridiculously hot like it will be very soon.


Saturday was a fun day, aside from our little auto accident. (Rolls eyes) NOT us at fault, a lady backed into the side of our car in a parking lot. Then, the (insert profanity here) started to yell at ME about how she was looking the entire time. I had to try not to lose it as I explained s.l.o.w.l.y to her that obviously she was not, if the BACK of her car hit the SIDE of mine. She was a little confused, we'll just leave it at that.


After we got home, we went for a bike ride, which was amazing. I really need to start exercising more, and Russ and I are determined to make bike riding our new thing. My mom has gotten into incredible shape by bike riding. I am not a runner or jogger (though I love walks, even speed walks) so I think that biking may be my best bet.


The only thing with biking is that, as strange as this may sound... I didn't really learn how to ride a bike until I was much older. I get very embarrassed when I ride bikes, because I can't do all the things that Russ does, like simply riding in circles and rolling down curbs. I know it sounds really pathetic, but I'm still "getting the hang of it" so to speak.


We went on a bike trail that ran in between a golf course and a stream, so it was very pretty. Wildflowers were in bloom everywhere, butterflies floated around us, and there were horses and cows aplenty. There were even a couple of vultures, who I think saw my lack of skills on that bike and were hoping for a big filling Kaileigh dinner. Well, too bad for them, I actually did the whole thing!



Later on Saturday, Russ and I went to a big casino that is near us. I had never been although it was built years ago. We just took some of our money from our change jar, which actually ended up being quite a lot for change... that stuff DOES add up! We didn't win a thing, but we didn't lose much and we did have fun. :) We mostly just looked around and we each had a drink.


Sunday we went to the Biblical Gardens in Grass Valley. It was very pretty, I hadn't been there for a very long time. I used to go pretty often with my mom, and it always seemed to be closed whenever I'd go with Ariadna. We trekked out there though, and it was open and in bloom. Very pretty and relaxing.


Wow, didn't mean to write so much, without further ado, here are some pictures.


And these are just some randoms of us at a cool abandoned house :) How could the day be complete without that??
