It's been a busy few days as we settle in more, for those who saw my Facebook Saturday the Crouse 29 race team pulled off a win the home track in dominating fashion. Nice job to Jeff and especially Larry for getting the motor back together and working like a champ.
Sunday we finally got my boat in the water. Abbey, Hayley and I met Jacey and my sister in law Tracie for a day out on the water. It was a perfect day the water temp in the lakes made it refreshing. We went to the beach, Jacey and I made a sand castle then the girls tubed a bit but the most fun was the swimming out in the middle of Lake Carlos. One of the fun traditions we have is finding a deep spot in the middle of the lake and dropping anchor and diving off the boat and just having a blast. The boat after being stored for almost 11 months ran perfect. Only exception is when we dropped Tracie and Jacey at the dock and as we were pulling away the engine died. Tried to start and when I put it into gear it would just stop. Thought the battery was dead, it is at its 3 year life mark. We got towed over to the launch and I got the boat on the trailer as I was getting out of the Tahoe Hayley says to me, "is this suppose to be like this daddy?" Somehow one of the ropes off the tubes had made it into the water and got wrapped up around the propeller. Oops!!! We headed home and then went out to a nice dinner. After dinner I spent the night organizing the apartment to make it move livable, I have the girls on beds with me on the floor and were making due until our stuff arrives. My car has made it to Minneaplois so we head down tomorrow to get it.
Tonight (Monday), I played my first double header with my new softball team, JCWanner promotional marketing. They have to be nice to me since my name is on the shirts. We won both games, looked pretty good as a team lots of hits and really good fielding. My 60 year old father in law was the star. Two head first slides into home to score. It was HOT, 90 plus today with 70 percent dew point it was thick and the state bird was out in force at the game. Wow, forgot how aggressive they are at night. The other part of the day I spent doing yard work. Mowing, weed eating and cleaning as we get ready for the Trucker Wanner fireworks extravaganza!! Year 5 I believe. It has evolved into quite a big deal with games and great food and most of all great friends and family. It was nice getting out in the yard it has been a long time since I have done anything like that and it really looks nice everything is nice and green.
Well I am beginning to settle in things don't seem as crazy as they were. I have had my moments, stange they have come when I am doing the things I love the most. It so nice to see the girls adjusting very well and spending quality time with their cousins I think it is really importan to have that close bond as they grow up in life. Summer has arrived finally and I'm going to keep enjoying it to the fullest.
