Just not meant to be...

For those of you who knew about our impromptu camping trip Friday...operation Wildcat Hollow was abruptly aborted in Utica! Friday morning Jon and I were discussing on the way to the grocery that this weekend was the ONLY weekend for three months in which we have NO ball games. We decided we should really take advantage of the freedom and take the kids camping. There followed several hours of pure excitement...we got the groceries we'd need, hurried home and packed our stuff and the van and picked the kids up early from school at around 12:15 and we were on our way! For about 40 minutes :( ... just before we got to Utica we noticed that we could smell someones brakes. The smell got pretty strong and we stopped to see if it was OUR brakes...well, OF COURSE it was!!!! We have all the luck! SO, the van has an appointment on Tuesday, heaven knows what that will end up costing!!
Needless to say, I was VERY disappointed! So were the kids! It was almost cruel, pulling them out of school, getting them all excited...for nada!
We went back home and later took the car to the drive in...Night at the Museum 2, it was pretty good.

Saturday, we didn't do anything, just cleaning and laundry. Yesterday Kay & Rod came over to visit with the kids. They leave in the RV for Alaska in two weeks. Today, the kids washed the car and the van...I'm not saying they did a great job...
but just about anything is better than they were!!!

Then they enjoyed some light refreshments.

Sam has football camp this week on Tues., Wed. and Thurs. after school. Plus baseball practice tues. and Wed. and his first game (baseball) Thursday. Mag's has a game tomorrow and Liam has a game Wed... That's what I know for now. I'll keep ya posted! Love you all!
