fun

It was another beautiful summer day to be at Harold and Kara's cottage yesterday!  Mike only had to work a little bit in the morning, then he had time to come home and clean the garage (something that's been bugging him for awhile and just hasn't had time to do).  Next on the list, the basement!  :)  I ran some errands to contribute to garage cleaning - brought old newspapers to recycle, and returned pop cans.  That is so gross.  Felt like I needed another shower after that.

I think every time we go swimming the boys enjoy it more and more.  Yesterday was the longest they've stayed out in the water.  First they floated on rafts with Grandma VanBeek and Great Grandma Rotman, then they played for awhile in little floaty thingies.  And then they took a nice long nap!  Wish I could take them swimming every day.  :)  I do hope we're able to go swimming a few times over the winter so they don't forget how much they like it.

Yesterday I decided that I would be spotter while Mike took Harold for a tube ride (Someone has to sit backwards on the waverunner and watch the tuber).  I figured that I've been getting more comfortable on the waverunner (when I'm driving...), so I could handle this, right?  Well, this is younger brother pulling older brother, you know it's not going to be an easy ride!  I was hanging on for dear life - I seriously thought I was going to fall off a couple times.  From the tube Harold could even see that we were having a serious 'discussion' at one point.  :)  Well, Mike did manage to make Harold wipe out at the end right in front of the cottage, I stayed on the whole time, our marriage survived, and I probably won't be spotting again!  Harold took Mike for a tube ride next (and yes, made him wipe out good at the end in front of everyone) and Kara was spotter instead - she's braver than me.  :)
