It was a full weekend. Cyndie had a great time at the women's retreat at Covenant Harbor. Probably equal parts relaxation of not having kid responsibilities, building of friendships with other ladies from church, and spiritual input from good speakers/music/etc.
The kids and I went down to Casparis Friday night. That was nice. We were there from about 4:30 Friday to 12:30 Saturday. It was enough time to have some fun play time, but not so much as to get on eachother's nerves. I don't recall any real blowups, which was nice.
Saturday we came back up to Lake Geneva and went straight over to my parent's where we met up with a friend of the family who had lived with us for nearly a year when we lived in Alaska. It was fun to reconnect. He has kids Henry (4th grade) and Jane (2nd grade) who played great with Emma and Timmy, so that was fun. We even made it through the afternoon with no quiet time.
We had a "date" scheduled with friends from church Anja and Lukas to walk down to main street and see some old time circus wagons at 4p, so we left my parent's and drove over to there. We had a good time with Anja and Lukas (and little brother Peter and dad Ryan ... also a "single dad" since his wife Amy was at the retreat as well). After viewing the circus stuff, we went over to Culver's and did dinner.
Sunday was church, then we went over to Grandpa's house to help him finish up some leftovers. The rest of the day was watching a little football (go Vikes), a little work outside, and relaxing. And now we're back to the week ahead!
