WHEW!

Busy Week! We celebrated Melvin's (Wayne's dad) 60th birthday this week. We met him over in Arlington on Thursday night to have dinner and then Wayne took him to play golf at Tierra Verde on Friday. They had a good time even though they said they didn't play well - the course was evidentally very challenging. Kelsie has a GA lock-in at church (her first) on Friday night and so we went out with 2 other couples that were kid-less for the night. We tried something new - a fondue restaurant in Arlington. The first criteria in choosing where to go was that we could use our press passes (get 20% off at certain restaurants) and the second was that it had to be something out of the ordinary places we go. It was quite an experience - took 3 hours but the company was good so time flew by and we had no idea that it had been that long. It was good food too - the group favorites were the strawberry and spinach salad, the various herb and pepper crusted meat - pork loin and steak, stuffed mushrooms and the chocolate dessert course - especially the dark chocolate with strawberries. Saturday a.m. we picked up Kelsie at 8 and went straight over to the Wildlife Refuge Center by Lake Worth where Wayne was running a 5K. Kelsie and I got there in time to wait for Wayne and Jeff (his running partner) at the finish line. After the race was over, we drove through some of the preserve and walked around on a trail by the water. It was so peaceful out there - definitely a place we will visit again. I took some good pics and will post them later when I have a little more time. Kelsie was too tired to make it long - she said it wasn't too comfortable sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag. She still had fun but I think we are in for a nap today! Tonight we celebrate Jim Griffin's b-day - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. JIM!
