2022 :: 32/52

wednesday afternoon the kids and i went to cassie's parents house on the river to swim and had a blast. 

friday Al was off for the weekend. friday was spent getting ready for a cabin trip with shane and jodi and kids plus a workout and tova and i went for a walk. 

saturday morning all 4 of us went garage saling, to the farmers market and then home for lunch and quiet time. after quiet time, the kids and i walked to the crabby bridge park to play for a bit. after supper, grandpa peter came over to babysit while Al and i went to his co-workers annual party in bloomer. it was fun as usual! 

sunday i worked out, the vikes played at 330 and then i went for the gym group walk again at night. 

monday morning i had my first mammogram and ultra sound to check a spot in my breast but all is good, it's just inflamed tissue. in the afternoon, shane, jodi, luke and henrik came down and stayed in the hotel shane usually stays at when he's here. so we went over there to swim, have a few drinks, eat supper and then we walked to river prairie park to let the kids play and show them it. it was fun! 

tuesday morning we packed up boat and all and headed out to the cabin in balsam lake with shane, jodi and kids. tuesday was our nicest weather day so we got the boat in right away and they had kayaks we could use. i also blew up my paddleboard. so we went out on the water and let the kids swim. kids played some games, we made supper including sweet corn from jodi's parent's farm and then at bedtime i went out on my paddleboard and it was gorgeous out!!

 wednesday Al was off, i worked out at noon then we took the kids to a movie in the afternoon. we saw the new minions movie and cassie, liam and elliott joined us. it was good and the kids had fun! 

thursday we all went garage saling in the morning and finally found some stuff; Al found some video games, trev found some books, tova got a couple toys, and i found clothes for both kids. i worked out at noon and trev had soccer at 645 (his last game for summer soccer.)

friday the kids and i headed up to the cities early and met mom and mona, ollie, and lucy at the washington county fair. we had fun but it got HOT quick so we only stayed for about 4 hours. the kids loved feeding the animals and especially the birds, and having slushies! that night i had my 20 year high school reunion. i ended up helping decorate at 3pm then came back to mom's to get ready and went back there for the reunion that started at 6pm. it was really good to catch up with some of my friends from high school and it was a fun night! we closed the place down at 11pm! while i was doing that mom took the kids to manda and eva's girl scout fundraiser of decorating butterfly houses. 

saturday was rainy all day so we just hung around at mom's house. i did go to a brewery for a bit around supper but otherwise it was kinda nice to have a rainy day. 

sunday morning the kids and i headed home early so i could make the 10am workout class and brought the kids with me. their friends were there too! then we had lunch and went to the little train ride that's in carson park on sundays. it was really fun and we got to go up the switch tower! then after an early supper we met matt, jodi, their kids, and a couple other people from the gym for a 2 mile walk downtown over the high bridge. it was fun but humid! once we got home we jumped in to the pool with our clothes on before having baths and showers. 

monday morning the kids and i went to putnam park and little hiking trail. i worked out at noon then picked up graham to come over and play until supper time. 

tuesday i got to go to big falls with my friends trina and steph. it was so nice out and beautiful there!
