Our "holiday" weekend

Lee and his boys hiked for 7 hours, starting up Dry Canyon, around the back side of Big Baldy, and down Battle Creek Canyon. They were exhausted afterwards.

The swamp cooler and water heater conspired together, and gave up the ghost at the same time.

Lee's oldest son tried to overdose, which resulted in a night of ICU.

We cleaned the house, did the laundry, mowed the lawn.

An adorable kitten almost adopted us, but after having spent the day with us, we found its rightful owner.

We had a spontaneous BBQ for people who were here visiting the OD kid.

The oven has been dying slowly for a while, so we took it out. My sister had an extra (2 extras, actually), so installing the replacement is on the agenda for today.

Lee replaced the pump in the swamp cooler, and also installed 2 new water heaters. Pain!

I can't wait for the work week to start again, for it's bound to be more relaxing than this weekend has been. :)
