Fab Five

Five more weeks of summer, are you kidding me?! We have been busy for sure, but I feel we've only accomplished about 1/100 of all the things we had planned. Hoping to make the best of the remaining warm, sunny days, we went to the Zoo last weekend and took an inordinate number of photos of monkeys. We took the wave runner out too and spent the day on the beach. Some wires shorted out and we couldn't get it started. Then after my last [wild] ride, we couldn't get the dang thing to shut off and had to choke it out. Kelly, papa and Bridger spent some time fixing the problem. Hopefully she'll be operational for our trip to Bear Lake next week.

National Golf Month

I would be surprised if you didn't know that August 2012 is deemed National Golf Month. Ahh the things I learn from daycare calendars...I double checked though and it's true. Good thing we bought B his first set of clubs recently. He runs around the house whacking at his plastic balls screaming, "balk! balk!". Translation: "golf! golf!". The other day he turned the gentleman's game into the sport of kings when he added his singing horse and played polo instead. Whatever suits your fancy, eh?

Not MLK Day

While most of the universe considers Martin Luther King Day a federal holiday worthy of a day off, I surrendered a perfectly uneventful February holiday for the much famed pioneer day. Kelly doesn't usually get PD off, but I made him take off this year. We kicked off the day by getting up super early and going to our favorite greasy spoon for scones as big as dinner plates with creamy, melty honey butter. Mmm. Then we spent the afternoon with gma and papa at the pond cat fishin'. After coming away empty handed, we came back to our house and made and ate enough sushi to sink a small battleship. In all, July holidays are way better than February ones.
