Friday I picked the kids up at swim lessons. It was the last day and they were both excited b/c they passed to go on to the next level! I am so amazed at how much they learn in a few weeks! Just last summer they were afraid to put their heads under water and now they are doing cannon balls off the diving board!
Friday night Mike and I took all three munchkins to the county fair in Jackson. We walked through all the animal buildings (stinky ones too!) and the kids loved petting all the different animals. Of course we had to have dinner at the fair too! Corn dogs just don't taste the same unless they were made at the fair! We played a few games and looked at all the GREEN machinery! Aidan did pretty well until then end and he was just ready for his own bed. We headed home and got the kiddos ready for the next day.
Saturday Mike's company had their annual outing in Spirit Lake. We headed to the Barefoot Bar around 3 to catch a private party boat at 4. We sailed around the lake for a couple of hours and then headed back to the Barefoot for dinner. It was a lot of fun and nice to have some adult time!
Sunday we got up and got our things around and headed to the lake. Mike bought his Grandpa Rickey's fishing boat and we wanted to take the kids out in it. There is also a zip sled that we got with the boat. It is a pretty old sled but is amazing and sturdy. We got to the lake around noon and played on the beach making sand castles and swimming in the water. Aidan and I stayed on the beach and Mike took Payton and Carson out on the boat to zip sled. They both did great and got up to their knees but didn't go all the way up! We sent video clips to Mike's Dad and he was able to show Grandma and Grandpa Rickey last night.
We were all worn out and spent the rest of the evening having a family movie night. We were able to enjoy both the Aristocats and Beauty and the Beast before heading off to bed!
This morning we were all very saddened to learn that Mike's Grandma Rickey passed away. She was an amazing womoan who was very loving and caring. There are no words to describe how much she will be missed. We are so glad that she got to see the video of the kids on the zip sled! That zip sled has been around many years and has many memories to go with it! We love you Grandma Rickey and will miss you so much.
Here are some pictures of our weekend:
