He's not heavy, he's my brother...but he is fun.

This weekend we were treated to a visit from my little brother Kelly. That really explains my absence from the blogging world. So, sorry for not commenting.

When Kelly comes to visit, you can be sure there will be lots of laughing, lots of cartoons, lots of video games, and lots of fun. I usually make a treat of some sort too. His usual request is a key lime pie. I mastered the recipe about a year ago.

Kelly, for the past few years, comes over to our house to spend his birthday. We take him out to our favorite restaurants and keep him well entertained. On his birthday, we go out to eat at one place, but we go to Clinkerdagger's for dessert. It's a fancy shmancy eatery in Spokane. Over rated if you ask me, but they have a key lime pie that Kelly fell in love with. I thought to myself,'I can make this for the same price as one piece!' So I buttered up the waitress and she told me where they got the recipe from. Ever since then, I just make them myself and we enjoy them the whole time he's here. I didn't get around to making the pie this weekend. Instead I made cinnamon rolls, which Kelly has said are the best cinnamon rolls he has ever tasted.

On Friday night we went rollerskating. Jeff and I found a nice bench while Kelly and the girls skated away. I wished we had waited to go on Saturday though. Friday night is 12-15 year old, foul mouthed, smoke in the bathrooms, trashy kids night. Every so often, you would hear the owner over the pa system telling the kids to watch their mouths or stop smoking in her bathrooms. She threw a few kids out. It was a big task and she was doing her best. Then she came over and asked how we were surviving the craziness. We informed her that this is the last Friday night we would ever be attending. She didn't blame us one bit. We've been skating there for the last 4 years and I have never seen it like that. The owner only does it once a week and I think it's only to help pay the bills.{Lindsay looks a little nuts in this picture. I think it's her way of keeping her eyes open during a flash. I wish I got some of Kelly. He was doing his best impressions of the FTD logo. Abbey was skating, with a lot of breaks and a lot of informing the owner of what the bad kids were doing. Abbey was really disgusted with the behavior displayed.}

A lot of the time we watched movies, tv series on dvd, and LOTS of Anime. {That's Japanese cartoons} Sunday became a Dragon Ball Z marathon. I watched some of it, then I hijacked Kelly's computer and re-watched most of the Office season 5.

Well, I hope you got the gist of our weekend. A good time is had by all when uncle Kelly comes to town.
