Fun in the Sun!

I received water park pictures today from my uncle Dirk. They are fantastic! You can see how deathly afraid I was on the newer water slide they have. This is the one that I kept saying "We're going to die!!" It's always good fun to scare the bajeebies out of yourself isn't it?

We got to spend the entire day with Dad, Aunt Janise, Uncle Dirk, Tehrene, Karlissa, Rikki, Matt, Raelinn and Zachary. We rode slides, lounged on the lazy river, rode the waves in the wave pool, ate some dippin' dots and more! I think everyone had a really good time. I know I did. It's always so much fun to spend time with them!! I don't think I could have asked for a better day.

I haven't been running. What is my deal!? I can't pull myself out of bed in the morning, and that is about the only time I have been able to commit to getting out there. I do have one wimpy excuse - that I have been fighting off being sick. I just don't think that is a good one though. I will get back on track soon.

We are going to Backbone State Park this weekend and staying through Wednesday. I am hoping for nice weather, not too hot, not too cold. Sunday my niece Raelinn is in the play "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". She is playing an Oompa Loompa and has a solo!! I am very excited to see her!

I will post more pictures when I have time!

Take Care!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game........

Take me out to the crowd! Gage's team (The Dragons) had a spine-tingling game last night. The game start time was at 8pm which was a little late for us and a lot late for Ella. But I tell you what, as daylight faded away and the lights came on, it sure added to the ambiance. And what a game they played!! It is astounding to me how much some of these kids have developed since the beginning of the season. I'm sure coach Wade can give himself a pat on the back for that!!
Observing the magic of baseball at any age level is immensely enjoyable to me, but watching my own son do so extremely well - that is something all in it's own.
I kept waiting for the hot dog and peanuts guy to come around - but fruit snacks and 'nilla wafers would just have to suffice.

Tomorrow is Ella's birthday. We are going to have a little get together so she can play some games with her wee friends. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun for her.

Until next time!

PS: I was talking to someone today about the route I ran this morning. And this person said to me - "Were you actually running, or where you just jogging?" Guess what - to me it was a run - maybe to someone else (who runs faster) it would have been a jog - but to me it was a run. I have nothing against jogging, but seriously - what does it matter? Oh, I invited her to come on a "jog" with me so she could determine for herself, and she declined. Tee Hee
