Our Weekend

Wow, what a weekend. The temperature turned off a little cooler and we were able to enjoy it some. Mark was able to relax a little and that was a pure blessing.

We had a busy Saturday, we were able to get the grand kids for the afternoon, we went to visit Kelli at work, we had to move the motor home to the dealership for a service and we had a car service appointment. Whew, we did it! Mark took the kids with him to the dealership and I spent an hour reading while waiting on a part to be installed on the Vue.

After my appointment I met up with them at the dealership and picked them up. They found, while waiting on me, a new motor home that the grand kids thought we should purchase. It was a new Fleetwood that had bunk beds with all of the gadgets they would love (personal DVD player in the ceiling of bunk, personal reading lights, each had their own window, and a little shelf for personal items.) They were in love!!!! :)

We then decided that it was time to go home so everyone could relax a little. The kids played and I got online and checked out email and blogs I like to read. We finished off the evening with a trip to our favorite Mexican restaurant and a trip to the scrapbook store. Weeeee!

We had an early morning on Sunday, Kaitlin swam in the State Swim Meet and we had to be there at 8:00. Way too early for me of course. We drove down on one of the nicest mornings I have seen for a while. Very nice and cool and low humidity. Wonderful day for a swim meet.

Kelli, Robert, Donna & our sweet swimmer,

camping at the State Meet. Kaitlin is waiting

for 1st call and chillin'.

The swimmer on right with dark cap is Kaitlin. The

swimmer on left in yellow cap is the girl that won this heat.

Kaitlin was in the lead and then BAM! this girl just flew to

the finish. Kaitlin still had a great time, just 3/10 of a second

from finishing in the top 16. Less than a "blink".

We were pretty excited about the swim meet, disappointed for Kaitlin, she works and trains so hard that we know she was disappointed, but she can't fault her swim, she did great. She is still so young, there were only 3 eleven year olds that beat her in the top 18.

We finished off the weekend like we have so many, a little shopping, a little putting things away in the house and then headed back to camp for the last "long haul" here. Only 4 more weeks of camp and then we will be able to button up this job/life here and move on to our next one. We are anxious to do that but a little nervous too.

Till next time. . . .mlm
