Lars and Ulla Visit - September 18-27, 2009

I had planned a surprise for Kim that had been in the works for months. I had kept it a secret that our friends Lars and Ulla from Sweden were coming to visit us again, and I did a great job of that until THE DAY of arrival. I put her on the distribution list of another recipient that had a string of conversations that included the exchanges of them coming to visit. Kim now put all the pieces together of why I wanted her to take the following Monday and Tuesday off. I cannot believe I blew the big surprise especially after painstakingly keeping it secret! It was all in good fun especially when I told Lars and Ulla that I blew the big surprise when I picked them up from the airport. They got a big kick out of it! Classic Wayne, blows the big surprise! I laughed when I did it too! What the hell right? Anyway, we are certainly way way overdue to visit Sweden but it has to get cheaper for us especially flying 4 people across the Atlantic. Thanks for coming again guys and you will have to admit, it was nice not to have to be blazing all over West Texas, New Mexico and Arizona! You guys said you saw more wildlife sitting in our backyard than any other time! We had an awesome time visiting NASA as well. I live here and never have done that tour! It was super cool! The best part of the visit was "drinking many beers" with our Swedish family once again!

We also took a trip to Galveston and Bolivar peninsula the next day after the NASA tour. This was the first time I had been there since Hurricane IKE. I was expecting more houses gone than we saw. The seafood dinner and drinks were a blast. Thanks for that guys! That was a very kind gesture.

Meridith was nice enough to give us free passes for the first viewing of WHIP IT. A very different kind of movie but entertaining nonetheless less. I think our Swedish friends found some humor and entertainment out of it.

On Friday, Lars and I went down to Bay City and my good friend Gary Kaiser took us up the Colorado River where I have been visiting for many years. Very special animals are found there. We saw raccoons, spoonbills, snakes, gators, thousands of turtles and much more. Lars seemed to like this trip very much as he too owns a boat. Ulla hung out with Meridith this day and did things around town. Poor Kim had to work but she and the kids met us at Meridith's where we had a great steak dinner and enjoyed drinks as well! Thanks again for visiting us guys and we'll stay in touch as always!
