05-25-25 Sun day Fun day
I’m not sure why I woke up so early but I had a nice morning and Gene decided that we should all go to Mineral Lake and bring hotdogs and he’d bring the paddleboard for me but I asked if we could stop at my place and put the proper roof rack on for my kayak and bring it instead, which we did. I had a little bit of PTSD driving out to the lake as the last time I had it on the roof was when the whole rack came off on my old car and destroyed the roof. The new holder seems to work really well though, and the kids were super helpful and we had a lovely time out there only Paul wasn’t with us as he had stayed overnight at a friends. Before we left Lukas and Gene prep the ham and put it in the oven on a timer so that we could have family dinner tonight.
Sawyer came with me on the way back and just the two of us managed to take the kayak off the car and put it back at my house and then get him home in time to take a shower and I dropped him off at a birthday party at Idlewild Park disc golf . I then stopped at Savon and picked up Caesar salad and a couple of kinds of ice cream and strawberries and cookies and waffle, cones, and all the good stuff. In the meantime Gene made roasted veggies to go with the ham and everyone was excited to eat out at the picnic table and enjoy the glorious day a bit further.
The guys all played to spike the net game and really enjoyed the competition. It looked like eventually it was time to calm down the two younger ones so will Sawyer and I headed in to ready for bed. I took a shower only to discover that I had put sunscreen on everyone else but myself. Will nicely got the aloe vera Aftersun to put across my back and shoulders and then I put it across my front and arms and hope for the best that I don’t blister and peel like crazy. I should’ve known better first time out this year. Actually, I did know better. I made sure the kids are all covered.
We played a couple Mario party mini games before sending them off to bed and once again I am playing a little bit of Tetris before I have an early night from all of the sun and fun.
