After a bad week it was a good long weekend. Missy's tummy was still upset Friday evening so we weren't sure we were going to go camping as planned, but she seemed fine Saturday so we loaded up and headed for Potato Creek. Since we brought Alex's bike with us, we stopped at Wal-Mart and bought one for her too. She needs one, and she wanted one so much. She was riding like a champ before we left Wal-Mart, and did great all day with it at the campground. The usual camping group was all there, plus a few, and we had a great time. The kids had plenty of other kids their age to play with so they actually left us alone most of the time. Of course we took them for bike rides and to the playgrounds too. It's pretty apparent now after seeing Missy ride that Alex needs a new bike; his is just too small for him and he has trouble balancing on it because of that. Missy gave herself a bad scrape on her ankle when she fell once, and didn't get on the bike again that day, but she rode a lot the next day. We went home probably too late because the kids were too tired and Alex especially had started acting up, but they were out before we'd been on the road more than a few miles. We went back Sunday, armed with some geocache locations, but Beth decided she was too sore for hiking which was just as well because the caches Virgil, Jack, and I went to get involved probably a mile of roundabout trail hiking to get 1000 feet as the crow flies. Virgil and I went again after dinner, and Missy nearly got run over by a kid on a bike. It wasn't the kid's fault; he almost threw himself over his handlebars trying to stop and Missy just couldn't get out of his way. They both wound up on the ground but were ok, although Missy was pretty scared and needed to be carried the rest of the way back. We left after 9 again, and the kids were out again just after getting on the road. Today we went to Menard's to get them a new swingset, since the old one practically tips over when they both swing now. The manufacturer did not choose to make the set easy to assemble. I only have the first support done and I fear it will take quite an effort to get it all together.
