Jen, Fabrizio, Lauren, Toby, Scooter and memories of Kermit

Yes, a few of these names sound oddly like critters from Sesame Street.
But in reality, one is a dog and one was a human.

As we needed to be in Yucaipa on Sunday, we had to figure out what we could fit in as our second part of the weekend trip.
You know we always try to schedule more than one thing!
Where else could we go?
San Bernardino?
Uh, why?
Rialto?
Why?
What else is out that way...??
Hmmmmm...
Highland?
Again, why?
Fontana?
YES!
Finally.
Friends Jennifer, Fabrizio and Lauren live there.
They have invited us many times.
And Fabrizio has threatened offered to cook some of his famous Italian dishes for us!
Perfect!

So off to Fontana we went.

We met Toby the cat.
Being tortured by Lauren the daughter.
The scary part?
When Jenny was little she used to do the same thing to her cat...

We talked about the times Kermit the dad used to get Jim a little looped after working on Kermit's boat...
So I asked Jim, if, after Kermit's cocktails did he look remotely like this?Scared the crap out of Jim, as he did not see me find these glasses and put them on.
So then they all had to try them on.
Lemmings!
Jenny...
Jim...
Fabrizio...

And Scooter the ever-so-tolerant dog.Played ball in the driveway.
Was introduced to Wii.
