Riley had a softball game Saturday morning and even though it was early it was still hot and humid. After the game we came home and got the boat ready for it's maiden voyage. We have a project that needs to be worked on at home but since Matt has had the boat for at least 7 weeks and not been sailing, he took the day off. Now I hope we can finish the bathroom! He said it was great and it sailed wonderfully. There was too much wind so they were tilting sideways more than they wanted. We decided it would be safe for the kids and I to wait to the next trip to go out since there are no life lines(the cables that go around the boat to hold onto for safety), the water is freezing still and we really didn't know if the boat would float (the joys of buying a used sailboat). So hopefully we will all get to go out soon. I did some birthday/father's day shopping with the kids and then they stayed overnight at Grandma and Papa's. Matt and I went to dinner and tried to do some more birthday shopping for Riley but the storm hit and we decided to head home. It was crazy! We were soaked and the roads through Zeeland were flooded so badly even after only 20 minutes of rain.
Sunday morning, Matt and I went to breakfast (two meals out without the kids!) at Perkins and it was terrible. Bad service and cold food. Cold breakfast(eggs) is the worst! Seriously there are not many choices for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We picked up Riley's birthday present, picked up the kids and went home to start working on the bathroom. We got a wall built, the new tub is in and some drywall went up. I had to leave during Sunday's storm to go to Day Camp training because that starts this week. At about 11:15pm Matt spotted a SHREW running across the floor so Jason, Matt and I spent a few minutes chasing it around the living room. It was quite a sight but the stupid thing ran right into the cup Jason was holding.
Matt left this morning for Iowa. His travels take him there for three days. He will be home on Thursday, Riley's birthday. She thought it was fun to tell Daddy "See you when I am 7!"

Oh my...it sounds like your summer has already started off being super busy! And about the shrew...I didn't even know that they lived around here, or that they would come into a house...laugh. I'm glad you caught him!
