This past weekend was fun. We decided to head to Fairfax for Days of Thunder, and to hang out with some of my friends from back home that I haven't seen in a while.
So, Friday evening, Michelle and Sam and Steve Messerli met me at Fairfax Days and we enjoyed a Cardinals game for free (with free popcorn) and then a street dance. Emma enjoyed getting foul balls the entire baseball game, and she earned a quarter per ball and ended up making $2.25. She was pretty happy about that.
At around 9:30pm, the kids were getting tired and over it, so my parents took them home for the night. The rest of us headed downtown to the street dance, and enjoyed some good music, beer, and caught up with each other. It was a great evening. We stayed until 12:30 and then headed back to mom and dad's house. We were shot!
On Saturday, we all headed up to Diamond Lake. It was a beautiful day, even if it was a little windy. We spent the day doing typical lake stuff. We went on a walk, sat around in lawn chairs and visited, Emma did some tubing, we went on a boat ride, and we enjoyed some really good food.
In the evening, it was chilly, so the fire felt really good. We had some people over to the fire, and just enjoyed a relaxing evening. The kids spent the entire afternoon and evening, running around with other kids and having a great day. At 9:30 I finally rounded them up, showered them, and then put them to bed. They were so tired, they could barely make it into the bed. I only made it to about 11:00pm, and I was ready for bed as well.
On Sunday, we spent the morning just hanging out, visiting, and making a great brunch. We decided to meet up with Rachel and Elena and go to the Fairfax parade. It was actually a pretty good parade, and the kids really enjoyed it and were really happy to see each other again.
We let the kids play in the park for a while after the parade, and then we called it a day and started the trek back to Sioux Falls. We got home around 7:00pm (after eating supper at Hu Hot) and spent the beautiful evening unpacking, doing laundry, shooting some hoops, and going for a nice, long walk.
Now, it's time to get ready for another busy week. We have softball, soccer bible camp, swimming lessons, and then we have to pack/prepare for camping in Gary this weekend for 4th of July. This week is going to fly by. Also, how is next weekend 4th of July already?!
