Day On The Town

It had been forever that the kids and I have gone out for a 'treat'. So yesterday we were out all morning with a flat tire (which is a story I'll share with you in a minute), paying bills, picking out and up paint, get some tools for Dad and bring them to some friends so they can build a deck onto their home, get lunch, shopping...

Anyways, right in the middle we stopped for an hour and grabbed two frappes and a couple of pastries and played together, talked about everything, visited our favorite shop (Distinctively Home in Old Town Battle Ground)... I grabbed a few shots to prove that we aren't always work and no play. It's been cool lately but when it warms up we will head to the river most days and 'play'.

Les Schwab:

Two days ago we had a flat tire all the way to the rim. Nate filled it up for us and we drove to get it fixed at Les Schwab in the morning. I walked in, told them the problem. They told me it would be about 20 minutes before they could START working on it as all the bays were full.

"Feel free to wait in our waiting room here and we'll get it done for you." They said.

"Okay", I said.

So I got the kids out of the car to 'wait'. They absolutely LOVED looking at all the different types of tires and cool wheels. We even got on the fancy computer they had there and made our excursion look awesome with 6" suspension and fancy wheels...

I noticed that within 5 minutes of when I brought the kids the car was in the bay getting worked on. They had us out of there in 10 minutes. Either they are extremely fast and just didn't want to get our hopes up, OR the next time you want to get your car worked on FAST, bring six kids with you and 'wait' in the waiting room. :)
