The Zereps

at long last, we are snuggled back home with our pups, and back into our normal routines. the delays in posting have been caused by some fun activities though, starting with my family visiting us in early october, then immediately after that, a road trip out to california to see eric’s family, some of my family, and friends.

let’s start at the begining…..my mom, al, and mickey got here somewhere around october 5, i think. our pups loved having mickey visit. every morning they would wait outside his door until he’d stagger out all sleepy. while here, mickey acquired several nicknames….dumptruck….grizzly bear….etc… you get the idea. 😉

we did lots of fun things while they were here, including a trip to the coors brewery. we also attempted a day of fun at a pumpkin patch/working farm, but it was waaaaay to windy and dusty for people as well as pugs. my mom took some cute pictures of everybody, but i haven’t got around to asking for them. we also took them up to estes park to take the stanley hotel tour and look for ghosts. we also paraded around estes park a while and ate fudge and taffy. mmmmm 😀 both guests declined a trip to the celestial seasonings factory, but we did manage to fit in a pug meetup….mickey’s first! all 3 pugs were quite happy running and snorting around with about 15-20 other pugs.

our guests stayed for about a week, then we all packed up and headed to california together, sometime around the 12th. after 2 long days on the road we finally got there! being leia’s first road trip, we wanted to make it as low-stress as possible, so she and jabba stayed with mickey at my mom’s house, where, i hear, they had a very nice time playing with mickey’s toys and peeing in his backyard. 🙂

eric and i then headed to sacramento where we were able to spend some time with his family. we also squeezed in 2 visits to james’ and cheryl’s place, only making us want a wii even more! amanda and ryan were able to mosey on over to their place while we were there, too, and we all went and had lots of tasty food. the next day eric and i went with cindy and chantel to apple hill. it was lots of fun and we got lots of apples, cider and a frozen pie! eric took some pics of this outting, but i have yet to locate the footage. several days later we were able to spend some time with shannon and our favorite little niece, eve! what a cuttie! the next day (i think) my cousin tiffany drove down from reno and we got in some shopping and then proceeded to eat ourselves to death at ‘the melting pot’….mmmm!

after getting our fill of sacramento, we headed back to paradise to pick up our much-missed puppies, have some cider and pie with my grandparents and brother, and then headed back home! another looong 2 days later…we made it! oh my goodness are we ever glad to be home! 😀

thanks for taking the time to see us everybody! we really had fun. 😀
