Kennewick Costco

So I'll just let you all know from the get go, this only slightly has to do with Costco. This weekend was spent at the lovely Haak family house. We did it all this weekend. We learned all about how apple orchard work, shot guns, fed baby calfs, and last but not least, helped deliver a baby bull!

So Friday night on our drive there we stopped at the Kennewick Costco so I could check this one of my list. The awkward part was once we got there I realized I had at least been to the gas station before, if not inside. Whoops! Anyways, this one is officially checked off the list! Nothing really special to report. Except that I am now down to only one Eastern Washington Costco to visit. We also got treated to Tony Roma's afterwards, so that rocked.

Saturday was a non-stop adventure! It started with Waffles from Papa Haak. Then went to see Alyssa's brother's almost finished house. It's on an apple orchard so we learned all about grafting trees and when to pick and how long they take to grow. Then while we were there, we got to shoot a .22 and .38.

Then we got the long awaited for call. Alyssa's boyfriend Dillon had a cow calving. So we booked it to the dairy. Alyssa through be some boots and gloves and told me to go in and feel. Lets say that that was about all the experience I needed, so I let Alyssa and Dillon do the rest. It was pretty cool, gross, but cool.

Then we thought we would take a break and go to lunch. We went to the cutest little Italian Bistro. BEST GRILLED CHEESE. Which if you know me well is saying something! Then we stopped by my dad's cousin's Marilyn's house. Side note- first day I met Alyssa I walked in and saw a picture of my second cousin found out they were super close and that was that. Chatted with Marilyn and Henry about life.

Finally we went back to the dairy to feed the calves liked plan. It was fun and they we're so cute! We finished off the evening with Taco Soup and watching the Hunger Games so we could take Christie this weekend!

If you can't tell we had fun, plus one more down, 17 to go!
