Father's Day Weekend

We had a fun, busy weekend!  Of course we have to start the weekend by mentioning the Kings win.  Highlight here at the Katayama house.  Lots of screaming and celebrating included.  Then Saturday morning we drove to Brentwood to pick Blenheim apricots from the Farmer's Daughter U-pick Farm.  We managed to pick 30 pounds of the most delicious apricots!  Then we headed out to Stockton for an afternoon of swimming and BBQ Father's Day dinner.  Daddy did some work on Hi-bachan's bathroom ~ the old rose wallpaper was just driving him crazy so he took it down and spackled (sp?) and painted the walls.  We went back to Stockton again Sunday so he could finish up and to bring Gregory home, too!  He had planned to stay until Friday, but missed me!  (Hah, actually he missed Bailey and was lonely without her)  They will both have a sleepover on Thursday night though!  While Daddy worked at Hi-bachan's, Grandma and I made 10 batches of jam with our yummy apricots!
The have wagons and buckets for the pickers!
