A weekend full of games

Day 13, Monday: Issue a public apology. This can be as funny or as serious or as creative as you want it to be.

  • I'm sorry I'm terrible at returning phone calls
That's really all I got for this one. So I'm going to switch gears and fill you in on all the weekend happenings.


Friday night we had our softball game, we ended up tied at 16-16. I  even made it on base which I'm pretty proud of. Afterwards, our we had a team cookout.

Saturday morning we headed to Grapeview, WA. our friend Lauren has a family home on the sound. It was such a gorgeous day and their property is amazing!


The boys dug for clams while the tide was out, while the girls explored the beaches for critters and geoducks.
There was so much to do at their house- kayaking, corn hole, croquet, and even pickle ball.

The water was crystal clear. While kayaking we could actually see a sunken ship below us which was a little creepy!

We spent the afternoon in friendly couple vs couple competition.

We ended the night with a delicious dinner on the grill and a soak in the hot tub.

Sunday- after Chris and Tom dominated on the pickle ball court, we cooked the muscles the boys harvested. They were delicious!!!


Chris has decided that we must have a pickle ball court at some point and I totally agree :)
Hope everyone had an amazing weekend and happy mothers day as well.

fly fishing

Day 10, Friday: Most embarrassing moment (s). Spill. 

I don't think I can ever live this down.

Scene: 10th grade geometry class,  a group of students are sitting in the back talking about our weekend plans.

Alan: I think my dad and I are going to go fly fishing on Saturday
Me: (very enthusiastically) OMG I didn't know yall had a plane...

Yes, I though fly fishing was where you fished from planes... low flying planes obviously. Also, in the same conversation I told them I though deep sea fishing was while you fished while scuba diving with a spear. I also happened to say this at a decible where everyone in the class heard.

Clearly, I did not, nor do I now, know a lot about fishing.
