Aug. 9, 2006 - Laaazyyyy Daayyy
Let's see, what did I accomplish today? -thinking, thinking, thinking - oh, I took a shower. And that's about it. But I guess that's the great thing about vacation, taking it [very] easy since I don't usually. I didn't get up till nine this morning! Then we rode bikes around the neighborhood, and went to the lake this afternoon.
I didn't spend a lot of time in the water, since it was rather chilly. The other kids (my brother and sister and another little girl - we came with her family, since they live next door) mostly splashed around, dove for clams and treaded water (even though they could touch - still haven't fiured that one out) near the buoy and splashed each other and giggled and yelled. The little boy who lives next door, who I think is six and I built sandcastles. If I can get my aunt to email the pictures to me, I'll post some. Being the certified genius I am, I left my camera at home.
Oh, I forgot. I guess I accomplished two things. I helped my grandfather get supplies from the hardware store to fix the drainage from the roof of the house. The only length they had of the pipe that we needed was about ten feet long. Definitely not going to fit in my grandfather's car. So we ended up opening the sunroof and sticking it through there.
Tomorrow we're going to Bay Beach, which is a small amusement park about two hours away. Then we're stopping off to see one of Grandpa's friends who lives near there.
Anyway, I'm gonna go now. Off to accomplish thing #3! (Doesn't that remind you of the Cat in the Hat, with Thing 1 and Thing 2?) We're going to haul off some branches from a tree that Grandpa trimmed this morning. That was actually how he became acquainted with the drainage problem in the first place.
Ok, I really am finished now.
