vacation from vacation

Yup, Landon, Elliot and I are home for a night. Landon had a baseball game tonight and another one tomorow night (and one on Wednesday, but we aren't going to go to that one), I would be ok skipping tomorow's game too and at this point I think Landon would too, you see, the rules are different for All-Stars than they are for regular season, the playing time requirement is MINIMAL to say the least. They are only required to play in the field for 3 outs (that's one inning) and have one at bat. I know Landon isn't the best player on the team, but he isn't bad. Guess how much he played... the absolute minimum. So, we are missing vacation for him to to play next to no time at all! Oh well, he is still "kinda" having fun he says. And there were other boys that played the minimum too!

Last night we had a TERRIBLE storm come through at the cottage. It was comparable to (although not quite as bad as) the storms we had when we were camping. The power ended up going out, Bailey ended up in bed with me, Matt and Landon slpet on the couches together, Elliot snored right on through the whole thing. Our power went out (meaning no fan/clock or light in an unfamiliar place), but came back on before we woke up. We tried to go shopping, but it ended up pouring on us, so I just decided to leave early for home. Good thing too, b/c there was TERRIBLE traffic on the way home. For 50 minutes my max speed was 5mph, a trip that should have taken me an hour and a half took mee 2 hours and 15 minuts. Very irritating. And Matt said almost immediately after I left the sky turned blue and it got HOT! Oh well!

So, here's a picture of Matt & E on the boat while we were waiting for fireworks to start...
