So

my summers are busy. Really, really busy. Which I like, but at the same time..i'm glad it's winding down. Basketball is over..which, after a bad year, i'm especially glad for it to end. I may not play next year..it's fun and all, but a real strain on my weekly schedule with trying to find time with the girls and their lives...it may have to go.

Golf is about a month to go as well..which, while i haven't written about it, has been a strong source of pride for me this year. One of my goals last year was to become respectable at golf and now, after a year of playing I can break into the mid 40's on a fairly regular basis, which, after being able to barely even hit the ball my first year, i feel pretty good about. Same time, it's a scheduled event, which while I love it, will be glad when it's done so i have more time for other things like alicia and myself!

Between those things, working on projects inside and outside the house and handling the girls, summers are swamped. Hence, not writing much. I did have a great weekend however.

Great idea by alicia, we took the girls to pick blueberries saturday morning at this MASSIVE blueberry farm. Carly freakin' loved it, which is a victory by itself. Both girls had a blast and then with Alicia's help we made a pair of unbelievably tasty blueberry pies. Then, Jeff and Sarah and Ben and Anna came down so we hit the pool sat nite, grilled out, lit some leftover fireworks..good day for sure.

Today, since it rained I took the girls to see Ratatouille..which was your standard disney pixar show. They really enjoyoed it..hit the new big boy restaurant on zeeb road, and then Scot came over which I have to admit was nice. Hadn't seen him since the wedding and he was very excited to start hangin out again which I would like as my friends in the immediate area aren't as plentiful as they once were.

Finally, something happened at big boy which i thought was nice. There was an old guy and his wife sitting kitty corner from us at the restaurant. He reached into this bag he brought and began blowing up balloons and making them into animals. He made one for Carly, one for Shelly and one for every other kid that was in there. Basically, he came to eat with the sole intention of making some kids happy. You don't see that very often from people. Random acts of kindness are rare and what he did I thought was pretty neat..the girls loved it!
