We took a Friday trip to the west side to check out a vehicle. I ended up buying it and trading it in ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are back in the Pachy group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, the kids went to church, but got sick afterwards. We skipped church on Sunday as all of them were running a fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was worried they wouldn’t feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later on Sunday, after spending all day resting and watching movies, they returned to their antsy selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good thing too, the next day the wife and I had planned on going to a Blazers game (our first and likely only time this season).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We headed down to the game, like always, with the kids, and we were running later than usual. What didn’t make matters any better was that it started pouring rain and hailing once we arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had to take a photo to capture the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the time was good. Ezra spent his time watching the game. The kids wanted to do some stuff while walking around, but mostly wanted to watch the game, which is a nice change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new store opened near us, ‘Daiso’, a Japanese discount store. Ara really wanted to go, so we went on opening day. She used her money to get some items that she wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the top part of our Antenna fin had a scrape, so we did the professional fix and used some nail polish to touch it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wouldn’t normally do that, but since we are getting rid of the car, it’s best not to draw any attention to anything that could cause a decline in trade-in value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
