Refrigerator

 Robby is continuing to live his best life in France. I know that he will be sad when the trip comes to a close, but I will be happy to give him a hug. I cannot wait to hear about everything, but in the meantime I'm glad that he is continuing to have fun and learn with his new friends. Today they leave Bayeux and head to Paris for a few days. Oh what an experience!

In the meantime, we have been trudging through stateside. When we returned from Hershey Park on Sunday evening we discovered that our refrigerator/freezer had completely died. Everything was rotten and wet. 

We headed out on Monday after I was finished with work and secured an open box appliance at Best Buy. Thankfully they were able to install it yesterday. This morning, we have a brand new (functional) refrigerator. 

While we did not plan on buying a new appliance, I am very grateful to have it. It is probably the nicest refrigerator we have ever owned, and it is both quiet and cold. (Upon reflection, our old appliance was loud and provided unreliable cooling and freezing.) 

Today will be hot (again.)  Stay cool! 

Hershey Park

 With Robby living his dream in Normandy, Scott and I decided to take advantage of the alone time with Timmy. We turned our weekend into a mini getaway vacation and went to Hershey PA for the weekend. Thank you to my Mom for agreeing, as we predicted, to dog sit for us so that we could sneak out to a hotel for the night. I know that Friend has a great time with his puppy cousins, so it was a vacation for him too!

Saturday morning we drove to PA, dropped Friend off at my Mom's and headed to check into our hotel. After checking in we immediately went to the arcade where Timmy played until he won enough tickets for the prized helicopter. Then we went to Red Robin (his favorite) for dinner before returning to lounge and play in the hotel pool until bedtime.

On Sunday morning we had breakfast and then I dropped the pair off at the amusement park. While they were busy riding and whipping around the park, I was able to just hang out with my Mom for the afternoon. Around dinnertime I received the call to come pick them up. 

They were pink, tired and very happy when they crawled into the car for the ride back home. Timmy loves Hershey Park and thoroughly enjoyed his 'bro day'. 

Hershey isn't as grand as Normandy, but I think Timmy had a blast on his centric weekend.
