Busy weekend always seem longer!

We turned a normal 2 day weekend into what felt like a 4 day weekend...which is good, and bad.  Good because you feel like you accomplished a lot, bad because it wears you out, but the good FAR outweighs the bad!
Other than our normal running and climbing this last week, we met up with Sasha & Tim for happy hour sushi at Ra, followed by a Starbucks run, and followed that by a trip to the climbing gym.  Tim had never been, and he only got 2nd degree burns on this hand (don't grab the rope when you fall...).  He was fine, and he actually wants to climb again!  Rohan was a trooper that night.  We had never really watched much TV with him (aside from sports) so we put on Shrek and watch him space out for almost the whole movie!  He was watching, pointing out birds & trees (see above post) and dancing to all the music.  I think we found our destractor for the flight to London/Germany...:)
Saturday Mara had to work, but they ended up letting her go before Noon (because she's a rockstar!) so we had the whole day open.  We spent as much time outside as possible as well.  While Mara was working, I took Rohan and the dogs to the park and watched soccer for almost 2hrs.  Rohan was having a blast outside. Mara found a chance to chop her hair too (something she's been talking about for a while now).  I think it looks awesome!  I got to be the catalyst, thanks to Michelle's idea.  She said I should cut a big chunk of Mara's hair off so she'd have no choice, and Mara said DO IT!  We took a little video, but for some reason there is no sound, but you get the idea...:)
Sunday was equally gorgeous (80F & sunny!), so we took the dogs to the dog park, hit up some thrift stores for warmer clothes for Germany, and capped off the night with a nice 6+mi run.  We hit up a new coffee shop Mara had wanted to try out (Copper Star Coffee).  They had really strong coffee (a good thing!) and even had a band playing called Dirt Music Express.  They were a really bluesy band, and had some really fun guys.  The music wasn't crazy loud and Rohan was dancing for most of the songs.  I think we'll definitely hit that up next time we are on that side of town.  It's good to have a "go to" coffee place in different parts of the city...:)  Mara and Rohan found some time to bake some more cookies to use up some of the items in our fridge that would spoil otherwise...can't argue with that logic!
Not a ton of pics & videos, but it was a great weekend!  Hope everyone is done digging out! :P
