Because we missed our pizza night on Saturday because of the party, we made pizza on Sunday. We had pepperoni and Nico was very excited about that. He will eat this whole pizza while we sit and watch two episodes of Three Stooges.
On Tuesday we went to see GG. He played with her toy cars and then we watched some Paw Patrol on tv. It was great to see her, and I am excited we will get to see her again next week for Nico's birthday!
Tuesday afternoon a fire began in the foothills off of highway 21, completely closing off the highway. Grandma Salisbury had to take the long way home after dropping Papa off at the airport for a business trip (3 hours to get home!). She lost electricity Tuesday night. When Guy was putting Nico to bed that night he told Nico that if the highway was still closed the next day that we may not be able to do Grandma Camp. So he started coming up with all the ways that we might be able to get to Grandma Camp, like taking a helicopter or something. In the middle of that night he crawled into bed with us and he whined. I asked him what was wrong and he said "Mommy, I know how we can get to the cabin if the fire is still going. We can go to the airport and the plane can pick up our car and carry us to the cabin. Then I can say Hey, excuse me? Can you put our car down here? And it will be at the cabin." I said that was cool and that we could talk in the morning. Then zzzz.
The highway was open in the morning! And the electricity was restored by 2 PM. When I drove to drop Nico off, the foothills were still smoking. We saw a helicopter heading over to the mountain to drop his big bucket of water on the fire. Another helicopter was making its way to the reservoir so we pulled over and got out of the car and watched as the boats in the reservoir stopped and the helicopter dipped its huge bucket into the water to fill it up. Then it pulled up and went straight to the mountain. Thankfully the fire never got close enough to Wilderness Ranch to cause any worry.
The theme for Grandma Camp this time is Movie Marathon. Nico brought Paddington Bear to watch. Nico was so excited that he wrote a list of what he needed to pack.
Thursday was a full day for both Guy and I but then in the evening we went on a date to watch The BFG. It was a good movie and worth owning. Guy has today off from work (Friday) so we were able to go for a bike ride this morning, and then watch a movie downstairs together. Jeff & Allicia and crew are all out of town for the weekend so it's very quiet around here!

Next week we will have Grandparents Russell in town!! Birthday week!!! Excited to see them!!
