Father's Day Weekend

We had a really busy weekend around our house. We had a lot of fun but we had so much to do that it just flew by. I really think that you should get three days off every weekend just to be able to catch up!!!!

I started Saturday off by running the Sound to Narrows "fun" run. It was 7.5 miles of hills. I have wanted to do it for several years but I always talk myself out of it so this year I was determined to make it through. It was definately hard but I made it in 1 hour 20 minutes. My goal was 1 1/2 hours so I beat that by 10 minutes. Yeah!!!! That is one thing that I can cross off of my list of things to accomplish in my life. I think that I might even try it again next year.

Saturday afternoon we were off to Alex's baseball party. We had a BBQ at one of the player's house. The boys had a really good time but the girls weren't to impressed. They just don't know how to have a good time!!!!!!

Alex and Ryan had a great time. The people had a heated pool at their house so the team spent the whole time in the water. They got out long enough to get their trophy's and eat and that was about it.

Alex was so excited when the coach brought up his great hit that he had. He literally had one hit all season but it was a memorable one. I think that will make him smiles for years to come!!!!!

We spent Saturday evening at Heidi's house. It was Jacob's 4th birthday. This is the really cool Batman outfit that someone was nice enough to buy him. I hope that it still fits him at Halloween.

The kids got to go for a scavenger hunt in a pool full of popcorn. It sounded like a really good idea until we were on day 3 of popping popcorn. It takes a lot of batches of corn to fill up a kiddie pool. :)
We finally made it to Sunday. It was Father's day so the kids are showing their love. We didn't do to much during the day. We worked in the yard and cleaned up around the house. Mike did want to go see a movie in the evening though so we all went and saw the Incredible Hulk. I think that he knew that the only way we would go with him was if it was Father's Day so he sucked us in and we all went. It was actually a pretty good movie but if he had asked any other day I would have laughed at him. That's not really my kind of movie. I seem to like a good comedy a little bit better. We had a fun day though and it was a good way to finish up the weekend.
