2019 :: 28/52



Monday morning before heading home, the kids and I stopped at the big park and splash pad in woodbury. we didn't stay too long but we had fun! once home we did sprinkler and pool in the backyard since it was so hot and humid! Al was off, Trevor had soccer.

Tuesday Trevor had wrestling in the morning and t ball got rained out. trevor and I ran to the library after wrestling and menards after t ball got rained out. al and I did a couple house projects we've been meaning to do.

Wednesday we went to the children's museum with jenny and klare (her other 2 girls were in a music camp) and we had fun! then it was soccer night again.

Thursday the kids and I went up to the cities. first we went to the teddy bear park in Stillwater for the first time and met some friends there: my friend from high school Amanda and her 2 kids Owen and Ava who are T & T's ages and then my friend from softball Manda's sister in law who just moved to Stillwater and her 2 kids Zoey (3) and William (1). it was fun but SO busy and it got hot quick. then we went to nana's house for lunch and nap for Tova; while tova napped, trevor and I went over to see Papa and grandpa neil showed up right at the end, too. once tova was awake, we all and mom went to maren's house for supper. it was a good time and included maren's friend Jenny and her family including 3 more kids. it was a busy, fun day!

Friday morning we headed home since Al had the weekend off. once home, we woke Al up and all went to the northern Wisconsin state fair for a couple hours. it was hot but not too bad and we had fun.

Saturday morning we just got stuff done around the house then after nap we went to a get together with some of Al's co workers in bloomer. it was fun and hot and they had a kiddie pool for tova's age kids and a bigger pool for trevor's age and older. there were a bunch of boys in the big pool and trevor had fun playing with them. we ate supper there and got home about 830p. once tova was in bed, I headed for the cities.

sunday morning I went on our annual girls canoe trip! it was so fun and a great, hot day to be on the river! we only got a little sun burnt this year and spend lots of time in the river! it was meg, Shannon, manda and I again this year. we got back to manda's house, I changed quick and headed right to softball. we played at 6&7 and won both! I didn't hit well until the end of the 2nd game. then back to mom's house for a shower and headed home.

Monday morning jenny, klare, and kourtlyn came to play until they had to pick up kali at noon. trevor had soccer and it was the hottest, most humid day ever!! but tova and I made some new friends while watching. then home to enjoy the air conditioning!

Monday trevor had soccer.

Tuesday we tried to go to wrestling but it ended up not being on because of it being the week of july 4th. so the kids and I went to the children's museum instead. trevor had t ball after supper.

Wednesday Al was off, so we got some stuff done around the house including mowing the lawn. in the morning, the kids and I met Jodi and the kids at a park for a bit but it got hot quick so we didn't last too long. mom came down after lunch for the holiday weekend. matt, Jodi and the kids came over for a grill out, sparklers, and pop its. we had fun and played some hilarious cards against humanity again.

Thursday was 4th of july. we all got up early and drove to my great aunt and uncle's cabin for the day as we've done for a few years now and I did lots when I was a kid. it's in siren Wisconsin, only an hour 45 minute drive. after we got there, the kids swam in the lake a bit, tova loved the puppies there, the kids had some lunch then it started to rain. so we headed for home hoping tova would nap in the car but she didn't. the kids had an early bedtime so we didn't go see fireworks.

Friday Al went back to work. mom, the kids and I went garage saling for a bit in the morning. after nap we went over to matt & Jodi's for a grill out and fireworks. we took mom tova home at bedtime, then trevor and I went back. also there was jake, Kassie, kade, Kinsley, josh, morley, lily, Sophia, dan, deb, sue, roger, katrina, laura, jack, and lucas. trevor loved the fireworks and didn't have to cover his ears this year.

Saturday morning, mom, the kids and I went to the big farmer's market and had fun. we walked around a bit around downtown EC. we ran in to Easton from Jodi's house and his family. mom left just before lunch. after lunch, I ran trevor over to Easton's house for his first official, without me, play date. T was a little apprehensive about going without me, but he had a great time and said he didn't even miss me. Melissa brought him home just before supper.

sunday morning the kids and I went up to mom's house for softball. we played at 4&5 and mom and the kids came to most of it. we stayed at mom's house that night then headed home in the morning.
