We had our good friends the Gines over for a last minute BBQ for Labor Day. We got out washer toss and played soccer towards the end of the evening. It was pretty hot but as the sun goes behind the trees, its much more bearable.
The new road behind our backyard that offers a southern entrance into Campus was finally finished! Rumor has it there is supposed to be a big sidewalk all the way down it too and we can see where it will eventually since there is dirt is raised up and leveled flat along one side of it, but its not there yet. I kinda doubt it'll get put in within the next 5 years. The kids found/made a new trail through the trees to get to our back fence where theres a big dip in the fence due to a fallen tree and we could easily lift our bikes over it. Then we lined up inbeween Chris and I and enjoyed a nice 2ish mile ride along freshly smooth blacktop.
We rode about a mile more all the way on campus to the Football Stadium. Sometimes Freddy rode in the trailer and sometimes he wanted to ride his balance bike. It was something the kids have been asking to do for a long time. I'm glad we made the time for it. It almost didn't happen because Chris had gone to the temple earlier that day and was gone from 5:00am - 3:30 pm and we had a rare date planned for that night to go see a community play "Arsenic and Old Lace" at the theater on main street that some friends of ours are involved with. All in all, a great Saturday.
One night, we got out the guitar, and bass and ukuleles and other hand instruments to try and have a family music night. It was pretty fun despite the fact that no one really knew what they were doing. We got out a board for Gwen to tap dance on while we played. We attempted some latin/style sounds for a little while but got kinda fed up with our own incompetence and just turned on Calle 54 (Chris' favorite documentary on Latin Jazz) and were amazed at the skill of real musicians.
