Welcome to Camp Canada!

Yay!  We were pretty excited!  Bronwyn, Mike, Rubs and Pash came to visit us on the weekend.  Welcome to Camp Canada!

Guess what the first thing they did was?  Like any decent, self respecting family, they piled into various vehicles and went for sushi.  Janet likes to turn any occasion into a sushi lunch.

Look how happy Mikey looks!  Mike and Bronwyn don't normally go for sushi in Portland.

After they made sure they were more than full, we finally got to eat:

Janet says she can't believe how much dog fur four dogs leave on the floor and how much water they power through.  Can you believe how cute AND obedient we are....well, truth be known, food was on the horizon.  Spot quiz - who knows which Golden retriever is Pash?

We also spent some time smelling the roses.  OK, not roses, just pretty flowers

The door to the back porch is shut, so now Rockers is having a mini melt down.  He loves to sit on the deck, but all doors need to be open.  The second it's closed, he needs to get inside.  I might be Naughty, Naughty Noodles, but he is seriously Crazy, Crazy, Rockers!

After their lunch of sushi, they headed out for Chinese for dinner.  We know Janet is bucking for a new stove, so we wonder if she was putting some pressure on Phil by not cooking any meals on the weekend.  Mike took his parents home and fell asleep at their house.  Here are the new sleeping arrangements at Camp Canada:

The time flew by..before we knew it, they were packing up to go home.  We were sad!  Janet told us  Pash could stay with us, and perhaps we could take her home in August.  Phil said it wasn't a good idea because with Rocker's surgery there would be three of us in the back of the car and it was too many.  Sorry, Pash!

There was a really scary room in our house that is "lovingly" referred to as the "dungeon".  Janet has not been in this room for at least 20 years.  This week,  Jeremy spent several hours cleaning it out.  What an improvement!  He also found the coolest thing:

Janet made this when Meg was a baby!  Isn't it cute?  It needs a bit of repair work, but by and large, is in really good shape.  Janet was super happy!

Here we are, exhausted after our 15 minute walk with Phil this morning.  Camp Canada is really tiring!
