Summer So Far

2005-07-05T14:52:00.000-07:00

It’s been a busy and fun summer so far.

Aside from the usual goofing off, laying around, swimming and hanging out with friends we recently went to Philadelphia, PA. Great-Gandmom Sophie, Uncle Rick, Aunt Fran, Cousin Carolyn, Cousin Chris and his new wife Sharone (and new baby Lauren) all live just outside of Philly.

We went to the Philadelphia zoo (America’s first zoo), Hershey Park, the Train Barn and Train Museum, ate a lot and played. Uncle Whit, Aunt Kim, Wyatt and Lauren also were there and so were Poppy and DiDi.

When we got back, our house was flooded from a broken pipe and we had to take all our carpet out. Who cares, I still get to swim and play!

Our friends Mary Grace, Olivia and Louis came into town over the Fourth of July weekend. We had fun, ate, swan, saw fireworks and went to Spencer’s party on the Pedernales. It was fun.

Next we’re going to Wyoming for a week. I can’t wait, it will be cooler there and we can hike, go down the alpine slide, see Yellowstone, ride horses go rafting, see Mike the Moose and play miniature golf. Maybe before that we can go to the beach and stay at Port Royal where they have that neat pool and slide. We also might go visit Nanna and GrandDad before school starts. Wow, that’s a lot to do.

A weekend in the life...

Typical weekend...
Friday I palyed with Jamie after school and then we ate at their house. Up Saturday to watch a few cartoons, play a few games and fight with Ethan. Baseball at noon. We won! I played third and got 2 hits and scored once. The other team kind of stunk, but hey, that's o.k., a wins a win!

Jamie came over after we ate and we played x-box and swam for a while. His parents came over later to eat and we played and swam until late. I went to bed about 11.

Sunday, Ethan and I played until it was time to go to J.T.'s party. we bowled, played games and played pool. It was fun. Ater that it was home wind up the weekend and get ready for school on Monday.

Should a 9 yr. old be blogging...?

Of course not, but his "hipper than the other dads", Dad" can do it for him.

Since I was a bit slow on the uptake for reserving dot com names, I though I might throw the occaisonal post out there under Ethan's name to "reserve" his place in the blogsphere.

If the past is any indication, he'll be into something out there that's totally different by the time he's old enought o know which end the computer is which. Hopefully, that will be a while as we intend to keep him focused on "normal" kid stuff like friends, school, sports, etc. He'll have plenty of time to type meanless chatter when he's older. In the meantime, I'll use this forum to brag on what a great kid he is!
