Holiday Weekend

We had a very relaxing family weekend...no major house projects were worked on. Lots of pictures:

The weekend started early and on a good note Thursday night as we listened to the UB Bulls dominate the University of Texas El Paso 42-17. It figures that the first year that we cannot go to Bulls games, they are going to be good.

Saturday we went to Grafton Lake State Park for a picnic and a swim at the beach. Unfortunately, while it was about 85 degrees in the city, once we got up into the mountains, it was only about 70. This did not seem to bother Aubrie at all, but Daryl and I were not going swimming.












Sunday was spent pretty much being lazy. Daryl and Aubrie went to the town pool to get in one last dip before it closed for the season.
Monday we went to the Saratoga Race Track to see the last races of the summer meet. Apparently going to the races is the thing to do in the summer if you live in the greater Albany area. While at the races, Aubrie got her first pony ride.












She also celebrated her horse winning the 6th race. We won $7.10 on a $1 bet. We will have to make sure we don't spend it all in one place...maybe save it for our trip to Orlando :) Too bad we did not bet $10 instead.

Tyler also got his first bath on Monday...quite the traumatic experience.
All in all a very good weekend. I start my new coaching job tomorrow, looking forward to that. I am sure I will post more about that later.
