Doug, Tami and Twerps...............

arrived yesterday about 1600 from Washington. Not much time left in the day so after gobbling up some burgers and hot dogs Becky, Tami and I headed for the casino. I stopped there briefly earlier and quit the slots when I was ahead of the bandits. This time they got it back and then some. Spent about a hour and lost $10.00 (plus my earlier winnings). Guess I'll just chaulk it up to entertainment.

This morning we headed for breakfast at the casino...........a lot easier then trying to cook. I left another $3.00 with my "Red Brothers" and then we headed for Chico. Trace had to add another skateboard park to his list so we found this nice little park near downtown Chico. Dropoffs were easy and it's a nice little park. When it started getting crowded we headed for Old Navy. Apparently they were having a dollar sale on flip flops. Becky stood in the check out line while Tami and Cassidy loaded up on flip flops. It still took a looonng time to get through the check out line so Dug, Trace and I set outside and observed the "scenery"............at least Dug and I did. Love this warm, almost summer months...............it exposes nearly everything.

After Old Navy we decided it was too crowded to continue.........so where do we go (?)......Costco of course. It was nearing noon so we grazed our way through all the food stands. Some good.......some not so good. Becky and I signed up for new cell phone service since her present contract expired and mine will in two more days. We also got an air card for the internet. Naturally you don't think to ask the proper questions until it's late when you've already made a purchase. In Corning the reception from Verizon isn't the greatest so the air card works; but, not too fast. I need to hunt down a different area serviced by Verizon to really get a good idea of how well the air card will work. It'll beat nothing I guess.

Tami, Becky and the Twerps went over to Judy's and tried out her swimming pool for a little while. It wasn't that warm today so they didn't last too long before they came home.

Don't know what tomorrow will bring........maybe we can find another skate board park for Trace.

Later, W&B
