Silly Virus

Since I came down with some sort of crappy virus on Thursday our long weekend was a little more homebody-ish than we had planned.  I think James was secretly ecstatic as it gave us an excuse to have our own little Bones and Criminal Minds marathon (which is easier said than done when you don't get TNT, A&E, etc. on a long weekend!)   Speaking of weekends, Brea posted some pics she took from last weekend on her blog. 

Anyway, we snuck out on Saturday to hit the 100th anniversary of Hudson celebration.  I figure it only comes around. . . well, you get the idea.   So, we had a nice visit with many of Grandma and Papa's old friends, had some delicious roast pork and lamb, checked out the "self-guided" tour of Hudson (aka driving out into the desert where the mines used to be) and well, Polka-ed with the One Man Polka Band. He played Chicken Dance and some Slovenian Polka which all the old-timers knew the words to, twice.  I am slightly abhorred that someone has give then Chicken Dance lyrics and there is an entire upcoming generation that might believe the lyrics are "I don't wanna be a chicken, I don't wanna be a duck so I shake (or shave if you believe Yahoo answers) my butt."

Here's Matthew enjoying the music in his Saturday going-out overalls.

 

And here's James and Matthew dancing in the Moby.

James and I were able to Polka with Matthew in the middle.  It was a ton of fun but the little old ladies were a little jealous we didn't just hand him over while we danced : )  Here's some more pics of Matthew "playing with the pets".  Matthew checks out Iris (while in his super-cute farm outfit from Aunt Sharon!):
