I should have posted each weekend night... too much goes on each day. Here are the weekend highlights for you... I'll spare you all of the details!
Friday night... we had 21 people here for the first grilling of the season. It was our small group from church. Everyone brought food which was good, but the visiting was even better.
Saturday... 3 games all at the same time! Madison's Flames team won 5-1, Quinn's baseball team lost (without keeping score of course) and Madison's softball team lost in extra innings. Bummer. Quinn had a pirate's birthday party for Grant H. who turned 7. He had a very good time and came away with a pirate's hat and eye patch which delighted him.
Saturday night we went to the Concord Pops program. It was an all musical program of their different choirs and groups... lots of solos. Jeremiah was in a lot of it and even sang a duet with a young lady. It was all very good. It didn't start until 8pm though and got over at 10:15... kind of late for our family but well worth it.
Sunday... Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers and especially to mine! The only thing that would have made this day better was that I would have gotten to spend it with you! I SO WISH we lived closer!!!! Today started out with a surprise. I opened my bedroom door and there laid Madison on the floor with a TV tray, a piece of jelly toast and cup of milk. It was so sweet... and the toast was so cold... but we (I) had a great breakfast in the hallway, on the floor. She even had cleaned up the kitchen... I couldn't tell there was even toast made! They gave me a few gifts but the best were their homemade cards. So precious!
After church we met B & P at the Matterhorn restaurant where Tony had made reservations for lunch. We took the boat out for this season's maiden voyage. Of course you know, we really aren't "boat people" but are trying to be. And of course, there is always an adventure around every corner. Today's most adventurous part was the boat completely conking out in the middle of the lake! Yep, dead! Quinn flagged down another boat with a "Help! Help! Please come help us!!" and to our horror when the saving pontoon boat pulled up he yelled out, "It's only a $500 boat and it quit working!" I laughed so hard!!!! ...Too much information!
Towed into the sunset by our heros.
...................................................................
Sooo, I'll just make a long story short to say that these nice people towed us to shore and 1 hour and 15 minutes later we were on the way home with a boat that needs to go into the shop! We got home at 8:15pm and made some supper, showers etc.... whew.
It was a fun but busy weekend. I hope you had a good weekend too!
Love to all, Leah
