Mom and Dad were staying with us all last week. Last Monday they went up to Michigan with Beth and the kids, Tuesday they came to the softball game ( I had 2 good hits, but the team stunk and I misjudged a fly ball to me...the sun was harsh). Wednesday Dad and I took the kids to the trail while Mom and Beth shopped. Thursday we hired Jenny to watch the kids while we all went out to see "Ocean’s 13" which was better than the second, but not as good as the first. I took Friday off work, and Beth an I took advantage of a generous offer from both Laura and Thomas and Mom and Dad. My parents were going up to Michigan anyway so they took the kids with them to drop them off at Laura’s for the weekend. Beth and I left for Michigan shortly after Mom and Dad left, and stayed in a motel Friday and Saturday night. We had no plans other than to take it easy for the whole weekend. Saturday we discovered Gallup Park in Ann Arbor by geocaching (the way we discover everything), finding a nice park with a nice walk to a nice cache in the morning, and thought if that was any indication the caching would be good all day. It wasn’t, really, as we tromped through some truly nasty muck at another park looking for another cache that we finally gave up on at about 300 feet away. Then we went for lunch, and hit the U of M campus for a few others. We found one, then were thwarted by a couple of guys hanging out by themselves in the middle of the forest right near where we were looking for another. I didn’t hang around to see what they were doing. We then wound up in a huge cemetery looking all over for another, and not finding it, until the bugs came out. We were able to grab a meatball in the same cemetery on the way out. We spent most of the evening cross stitching at the motel. Sunday we checked out, then hit the cemetery again to find the one we couldn’t find. Found it, wondered how we missed it the day before. We were going to meet Laura and Thomas at Gallup Park shortly after that. They had rented paddleboats and were taking the kids for a voyage. We got there while they were out to sea, so we got our own and tried to catch up to them. We couldn’t, they got back to shore before we could catch up, and we just turned ours in a little early. Then we let the kids play for a while, went out to lunch at Joe’s Crab Shack, and went for a swim at their development’s pool, which I thought freezing but the kids liked a lot. They both slept most of the way home, and still slept all night.
