Playing catch up

Sorry I have not posted in a couple of days. Its been a little bit busy around here. OK so lets just start where I left off.

Sunday: Today not much happened. Dale was suppose to get off work at 6:00 but his relief never showed up so he had to work over alittle. He didn't make it home until after 11:00. So out went the idea of us being able to go to church. That OK though because we got to spend some good quality time together as a family. Although Dale didn't stay awake long he was still with us.

Monday: Today we got to go to Rails to Trails. OK so as most of you know that in order to be a leader at Girls Camp you need to be fully certified in at least the first four years. Well I did all four years my first year. Anyway now that Michelle is a leader she needs to certify in her last two years. One of the things she needed to do was go on a hike. Not a long one, so Ryan decided that about an hour should be fine. So Michelle, her Aunt Donna, and all her kids excluding Casey, plus Me and my kids and Ryan and her kids plus one and Annelise and her kids went to Rails to Trails to go hiking. It was a great time. We all had a blast. The kids really love the trail and so we always try to go at least a couple of times in the summer.Anyway on the trail they have a little creak that the kids love to play in. Plus usually there is a water fall but this year so far there wasn't much to it. I guess there hasn't been enough rain to keep it going. I really hope at some point this summer it is going fully. It really is beautiful. We ended up walking like 3 miles total. It was great. I got a great work out and got to spend some time with my friends.

After the trails Michelle decided to take everyone in her car to McDonald's for an ice cream cone. There were 11 of us in her car. So when we got there she told the lady that she wanted 11 ice cream cones and the lady was like I'm glad i don't have to make all those. They were really good and there wasn't much fuss from the kids. Give an ice cream and its pretty much an instant shut up for them.

After we got home the kids just kinda played by themselves for a couple of hours then they had to go to Hapkido. They did really well. Ofcouse Elyssa was pooped by the end of the first hour ( I guess going on a 3 mile hike before two hours of Hapkido isn't the best idea) and she wanted to quite but I told her she needed to finish. She did it but wasn't happy about it. DJ had no problems with the class. Even when they went an extra half an hour. Ofcouse I didn't make Elyssa do the extra time. She was to tired and cranky by that point. After that we came home ate dinner and the kids went to bed. They were out cold within about 15 minutes of going to bed. I love days when there is no fuss at bed time.
