Parents are gone!

Well, that was a fast trip.  My parents got in to Wellington on Friday evening, and left Wellington early Tuesday morning.  We had a nice weekend here, the weather was decent, although pretty windy (which is nothing unusual).  We took a few good hikes, and we had a big adventure planned for Monday but it got canceled because the ocean was too choppy for the ferry ride.  Boo.   But we had a fun relaxing day, although it's pretty clear that my mom does not do "relaxing" very well.  Why, you ask?  She got a little bored sitting around in our house, so she managed to iron and hem all our dining room curtains... for fun!  Works for me!  I should have armed her with some paint and paintbrushes... we have some little patches that need some touching up. :) Maybe next time...

As for us, we are back to our normal routine of work, TV, soccer, and sleep!  I am taking the babies to the zoo tomorrow (if it doesn't rain, that is) so hopefully I will get some good pictures from then for you to see!  I hate blog updates without pictures, so tomorrow there should be lots, I hope.
