We had a great weekend! Mike played in a softball tourny in Sioux Falls this weekend, so we all went down and stayed with Mike's brother and sister-in-law. We played cards on Friday night and on Sat. Kristin and I took the kids to Terrace Park swimming pool. It is an awesome pool area with waterslides, drop off slides, baby slides, a big sand area and tons of lounge chairs! The temp was mid 90's both Sat and Sun, so it was perfect days to hang out in the water, not so much to play softball in though! Kaiden was all about the big slides and talked me into going down with him, I made it down without a hitch the first time, but the second time was not a charm for me, as my tube flipped at the bottom of the slide and I went under, which totally made Kaidens day! Karsyn and Austin hung out in the zero entry pool, where the 2 smaller slides were, they quite enjoyed that and Mason didn't want too much to do with the water, he hung out with us and in the play sand area!
For a Christmas gift to Kristin and I, Lowell (Mike and Jeremy's Dad) wanted to take us girls out for dinner away from the kids and husbands, this was the first opportunity to do so with the 3 of us, so we ditched the guys and left them with the kids and headed down town Sioux Falls to look around at the shops and have a drink before going out for supper. Once we got downtown, we noticed people lined up on the streets in lawn chairs. We finally ask someone what was going on, and find out it is the start of Hot Harley Nights, and they were having a huge parade about an hour and a half from the time we were there. We walked around a bit and finally sat down for a beer. Lowell suggested to hurry before the parade started or we may get stuck down there for the rest of the night. We head out and tried to get over to Minnesota Ave, but all of the streets were closed and the National guards (Which were directing traffic) kept trying to send us around the block. We finally stopped and talked to one, which luckily was someone from my hometown of Springs, so he called ahead and helped us get out of there! We got over to the Sheraton, still trying to make it the interstate and got stuck amongst Harley's for over a half hour!!! It was crazy! We then went to Chilis and had supper, then headed back to play cards at J&K's house. It was a lot of fun!!!
Sunday it was back to the games for Mike, which at this point they were still undefeated, Kaiden and Mason decided that the games sounded like a better idea then the pool, so they went and watched the games with Jeremy and Lowell. Kristin, Austin, Karsyn, and I went to the pool again, it was very hot and was again a perfect day for being at the pool!
The team Mike played on ended getting first place and he had to go celebrate with the team at Buffalo Wild Wings, So we had pizza at Jeremy and Kristin's and then headed for home. Today Mike isn't feeling to hot though, as his age may be starting to show! He has been hobbling around hardly able to move all day, complaining about everything from quarter size blisters on his ankles, to aching knees, shoulders etc., My poor fragile husband!!!
