Van bummer, new bumper, and more!

Well, our weekend started out like this:

And progressed into finding out we were out over $1000 to get the van's fuel pump replaced. This was a little unexpected since we thought there was an electrical problem since the battery has died twice and we realized that the radio was turning itself on (while the car was locked and the keys NOT in the ignition!). So strange. The van was supposed to be ready today (I even left work early to go pick it up), but then the mechanics broke a fuel clip and now it won't be ready until tomorrow!

Sheesh.

But, on the bright side:

We got the super giant amazing bumper!

With spare tire holder (and eventually will have a bike rack attached!).

And since the van was in the shop all weekend, the Rav got some love:

Full wash and wax! So shiny. 

Two weekends ago we went to the snow. It was fantastic! 

Some snow at the house! Since we had the fireplace going while there, 

the snow on half the roof melted off. 

Yesterday we went up to Auburn for some hiking and biking. Flowers were in full bloom!

And, lastly, the cat is awesome as usual:

Wish us luck with the van engine. Until next time...
