Merry Go Round

Happy Monday everyone! As usual, the weekend went by way too fast. We spent the weekend enjoying the beautiful fall weather and doing fun stuff like cleaning out the garage. Just kidding….that was NOT fun. We also attended  semi-formal “dance” put on by the student group that I advise at work. It was at a museum and there was a carousel. Naturally I wanted to spend all night riding on it!
Me on the pony. I rode side saddle. Because I am a lady. And because I had a short dress on.
 
Pretty merry go round.
The husband was a good sport about attending an event where he didn’t know a single person…but he did NOT want his picture taken on the carousel. I took one anyway.

He did happily pose on this old fashioned bike when no one was looking.

The museum was really fun and we had a great time!

 On Sunday my grandma and her new husband, Ken, came out to visit. They live in California and Washington and were traveling around the country saying hi to family and friends. It was the first time we got to met Ken….and he is a great match to my high energy grandma!

I hope you had a great weekend!
