Sunday morning I got up and ran the church van. Mysia got to spend the afternoon with Granny. Malachi, Lydia, and I has a restful afternoon at home... We took naps. After evening services, we came home and kids are ice cream before bed.
On Monday, the weather was a bit humid. We all had a good day, and the evening went well. Lydia worked on homework and the kids picked up their rooms. I checked the ground outside, and since it wasn't too soggy, I decided to mow. While doing so, I set up the swimming/wading pool Lydia had bought for the kids over the weekend. They were thrilled. Once it filled up, both played in it. The water was cold, but they didn't mind.
Tuesday evening, I installed the storm door we had bought from friends at church. It took a while to get it in place, and once installed, Lydia locked it. Unfortunately, the mechanism got jammed and the door wouldn't unlock! I had to take off the frame and get some tools out to pry it open. Needless to say, we won't be locking it until I get the door jam fixed for the lock.
Wednesday was a bit cooler and we got some rain. Mysia got to go a field trip to the nature center and learn about bugs. Lydia took her final for her three week college class and passed with a B. I took of work a little early and went to the doctor to got my three stitches removed from the wound on my hand. Mysia spent the night at Granny's after church.
We had fun on Thursday! The kids got to go with Granny & Granddad to Silver Dollar City. They rode rides until the amusement park closed. Mysia was tall enough to ride the new "Outlaw Run" roller coaster.... Her first! She was so excited. Malachi was also thrilled that he was tall enough to ride a few without an adult accompanying him. After work, Lydia and went out on a dinner date to Outback Steakhouse since we didn't have the kids. We enjoyed the time tighter. Before heading home, we stopped by an AT&T store and was able to trade our old iPhones for newer models without any extra cost! When we picked up the kids, they couldn't stop talking about the fun they had.
Friday was a big day... I took the day off from work! Lydia got up and she dropped Mysia off at boys & girls club before heading into work. Malachi and I spent the morning packing our fishing and camping gear. We left and headed for Stockton Lake. Once there we set up our tent, ate lunch, and went to the dock to fish. Malachi got bored after 45 minutes, so we went to back the campsite and roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. We got to spend time on a pontoon boat fishing before evening came, and I even caught a fish! Lydia was able to get off work early, so she picked up Mysia and they went shopping. They spent the evening at home watching movies and making cookies.
Malachi and I woke up early on Saturday, since it got down to 52 degrees! Brrrrr! We spent the morning around the campfire after eating breakfast. Malachi wanted to go to the lake for a swim, but it was too cold. Instead he played with friends until lunchtime. Lydia and Mysia had a nice morning at home before heading out to friends' house to let the girls have a make-over. After lunch they attended a tea party birthday. Malachi and I enjoyed the fish fry lunch with 70+ men from church… it was good! Malachi fell asleep during the devotion, and took a nap on the way home. I was a able to unpack most of our camping equipment before Lydia and Mysia arrived back home. Malachi and I took quick showers to wash away the "camping smell", and we all spent some time outside in the wading pool. We ate supper and played Mario Party that evening before bed!
