Vacation 2009

Another year of vacation has come and gone. The weather did not cooperate but we made our own fun. By the end of the week we got smart and took the kids (adults too) to Thumper Pond water park. 22 of us went that day and we were over half of the people there. Needless to say we had a bit of fun! During the week we occupied our time with games like backyard golf, the beanbag game and frizbeer. (Nicks favorite game) The adults tried their hand at beer pong, (Butch your t-shirt is correct, you are the champion) We are looking forward to the rest of the summer however short it may be and are already making plans for next years vacation.

Lilly

Yes we (and when I say we I mean me) cracked and got another cat. When we had to put Duchess to sleep in April I swore never to have another cat. Apparently in our house never is about 3 months. Addison would ask us often when she could go up to heaven and get Duchess back. I challenge any of you to resist that... then last Monday while watching TV Addison saw an ASPCA commercial (yeah the ones that make you cry) and at the end it said to contact your local Humane Society to get a pet near you. She came running in the kitchen and announced "mom, that's where we can go to get Duchess back". Well, we didn't end up with Duchess but now we have Lilly. She's a 6 week old Himalayan cross that loves to play and really loves Addi.

Twin Town World Series

Last night Matt's baseball team the Rockies won the Twin Town Baseball Leagues first ever minor league World Series. They came in to the tournament in 4th place and ended up winning it all. I give so much of the credit to their coach Jake Allen. He did an amazing job!! This team improved 110% over the season. Congrats to all the Rockies on a great game and a great season.
