Saturday morning we both slept in, well sort of, if you consider 7:30 sleeping in. We had a paper and were trying to find something fun to do. There was an ad for an October Fest at South Fork Landing (a new development in Garden Valley Idaho). We thought it might be fun so we loaded up the dogs and headed up for the day. We made it to the festival only to be severely disappointed. It was the first year the event has been put on and has a lot of potential, but definitely needs more of a turn out. We were getting hungry so we got back in the car and drove to the Banks Café for some lunch. After lunch we found a nice secluded beach and let the dogs run off some energy. Beck was launching right into the cold water and Cassius even made an attempt to swim.
Cassius, AKA Doofy, among other things
We spent the rest of Saturday going from bike shop to bike shop in search of a new mountain bike for Mike. He got a couple of ideas and decided to do some more research before he put his money down. Later in the evening I went over and picked up Nikkia, my friend Stephanie’s dog for a trial run of dog sitting. Everything went well. Cassius spent the whole time standing about six feet from Nikkia wagging his entire butt trying to get her to play with him. Nikkia let him wag on, but was utterly uninterested in him. Beck and Nikkia really didn’t interact, but the main thing is everyone got along!
Beck and Cassius really enjoyed Nikkia’s bed and Nikkia really enjoyed keeping my feet warm while I studied.
On Sunday morning Mike and I met up with Theron, Christina, Josh, Sarah, Rayleen, and Ben for brunch at Bardenay on Sunday. If you haven’t been there for brunch I HIGHLY recommend it. I had the best French Toast ever. Mike’s eggs Benedict looked delicious as well. I spent the rest of the day with my nose in my books, and tomorrow the cycle starts again. I better go set my alarm for 4:45.
