What a weekend!

Weekends have taken on a new level of "amazing" with Chris traveling all week. For 2 whole days, our family is whole and we take advantage of that.

Friday night: Lexi had a softball game-the first game that Chris got to watch. One of the highlights of the game was Lexi getting to be catcher. She was very excited to be catcher. Even though the equipment (shinguards) were a few sizes too big for her chicken legs, she had fun being behind the plate.

Saturday: Lexi had a soccer game against the other Adel team....Da Da Dum! This game has been talked about for weeks! Our girls didn't have their best game...maybe part of that was playing against their classmates/friends, but it was fun to cheer for both sides during the whole game!

Sunday: The Seidl family had a picnic at Kinnick Feller Park (aka the fish park to the Seidl kids). After our meal, we went for a walk, played on the playground, and just enjoyed the weather. Highlights included: 1. Lexi scolding Chris for parking on the grass while there was a sign that clearly said "No Parking on Grass". Too funny to have your 7 year old be more observant than you. "Dad, can't you read? It says "No Parking on the Grass?" 2. Lexi and Chris being scared by a snake (we are all big chickens when it comes to snakes)

After our picnic, the girls decided to get the sprinkler out. It is interesting to watch the neighborhood kids flock over when they see the sprinkler. Brenna NEVER got in the sprinkler last year...so it was fun to see her be brave and jump right in.

Great weekends make Mondays even harder....but I just keep telling myself...4 more days until the next great weekend!

I'll put some pictures up soon!
