this weekend, T and I drove up to mom's house on Friday morning. I dropped Trevor off at mom's for her to watch him for lunch and nap time, and I went over and cleaned manda's house again since the sale fell through and they were relisting their house on Monday.

Al drove up after work on Friday night but drove right to new ulm where shane and some other guys were. they had their fantasy football draft Saturday all day/night in new ulm.

Saturday morning, I went with manda, meg, and Shannon for our 4th annual girls canoe trip down the st Croix river. it was the perfect day to be on the river!!! it was hot and sunny, but a little cloudy. we paddled, floated, waded, bald eagle spotted, and swam! the last beach we stopped at there was a heavy current there so we ran/walked/swam against the current for a little workout for our legs too. :) we stayed in the water/current for almost an hour; it was so cool! we spent almost 6 hours on the river and was exactly what us momma's needed! Saturday night was dinner at nana's with nana and unc-o.

sunday morning, Trevor and I drove down to near new ulm to Jodi's family farm for Lukas's 3rd birthday party. we got there early so luke and trevor could play and then shane and Al came there too. the party was 1230-330 but I had to leave at 130 to make it to softball in time. T and Al stayed at the party until it ended. we had a double header at 4 & 5 and beat the first place team but lost to the last place team.... :/ after softball, all 3 of us drove home to eau Claire.

Al had Saturday-Tuesday off. Monday started trevor's soccer/basketball class Mon-Thurs 10-1045. Monday and Tuesday were soccer and trevor had lots of fun and scored lots of goals. he had just a few blips of not listening or not keeping his hands to himself, but he's getting better! we're really liking these classes, but this is the last one of the summer.

this week Trevor had his outdoor adventures/water activities class through Thursday. he enjoyed it and of course the day they had water day was the coldest day in a while, but T still had fun.

Tuesday night we went to Camdyn's soccer game and then went out to cancun for dinner with the neighb's. Jodi's been at volleyball camps all week so we've missed her and going over there to play.

on Friday mom came down and her, T and I went to the northern Wisconsin state fair. we got there pretty early and stayed until 130ish. we had fun! we ate cheese curds, a funnel cake, and a snow cone. trevor went on 2 rides which he eventually enjoyed. we saw lots of animals and 'chines.

Saturday at nap time mom went home. Al was off Sunday-Tuesday so he came up to the cities with us for softball. it has been really hot and humid here and sunday for softball was no exception. we won in a good game. T and Al didn't come because T was still napping. Monday morning, Al, T and I went to the Minnesota zoo where it was super hot, we did the shorter outside loop, ran through the splash pad, did a couple things inside then met mom for lunch before driving home.

Tuesday we got a lot done around the house and errands. we ran to the grocery store, target, and then bought Trevor a big boy bed. after nap we set up his bed and he slept well in it that night. he didn't fall out and stayed in relatively the same spot all night. he was up multiple times between 330 & 430 but I don't think it was bed related.

this week was so hot!!! if we were outside it was in the pool or sprinkler. Friday we went garage saling with Jodi and the kids for a bit then back to her house for some sprinkler time and lunch.

Friday after nap, T and I drove up to mom's house and stayed the night. we had Cal's 3rd birthday party Saturday morning at matt and Gina's house. we had a good time at his party; there was a bounce house, food, mud pits, and I got to see matt and Gina's families which I haven't seen in a long time! after lunch/the party T and I drove back to eau Claire since sunday Al had off and grandpa peter came to visit. sunday after lunch, I drove up to the cities for softball and left Trevor, Al and Grandpa peter at home. we had a double header and it was hot!! we lost the first game by a ton and then won the second game (against a different team) by 3 runs! we finally hit well! after the games I drove back to EC.

trevor, Al and Gpa Peter played a lot of games, mostly Uno! Monday morning we all went to Trevor's first day of his Outdoor Exploration/Water Activities class at 10 and watched him. T did well for the most part and listened well; it was the same teachers as his T ball class so that's good! grandpa peter went home during nap time and we just hung out at home the rest of Al's last day off this week.
