Summer almost over

Oh, man. The summers can never be long enough, I think. The girls stay up late, I don't have to shovel snow, lots of grilling, outdoors, and birthdays.

We've gone through three of the four summer birthdays. Terra had a slumber party with our neighbor's kids. She got a new bike. Madeline had her birthday party this weekend (they stayed up until 5AM Saturday morning). I came down stairs to scold them into sleeping and noticed one had evacuated herself upstairs to the couch in the family room. There were five girls in all, minus Terra (not with us this weekend).

Misty's birthday was my favorite, we were able to go to the Blue Stem (sigh, love the Blue Stem).

We all now have bikes. Madeline got a new 10 speed with her birthday money from Grancy and Big Daddy. Misty's had a Cannondale since college, and I just bought a Diamondback Sorrento. It's a hybrid. I hate the "Mountain Bike" phenomenon. I did'nt want shocks.

We tried a test run of us all going out together, however, Jack's Radio Flyer Tricycle doesn't cut it, he gets behind and gets mad when his sister flies past. I'm looking on Craig's list for a trailer now that Jack can ride in and I will hitch onto my bike.

We went to the water park last Thursday, I'm still recovering, but we met up with family there and had a blast. Lots of fun. Some guy Madeline met in line, Tyler, ended up with a little crush that I had to scare out of him.
