Day 60 Friday - Day 66 Thursday

Oh dear, school starts for teachers in 3 days and I've fallen behind in my blog posts so here goes:

Friday we went to the blood lab to get a cholestorol test on Calvin (just getting a baseline for later in life). Then we had doughnuts - great for cholestorol. We dropped off Cal's flag football registration at the Friendly House and then met Jonell and Soph at the Family Museum. They especially liked playing in the little house area. See pic of Jake answering the phone. That evening we went to Rookies to meet Ryan's cousin Mike. Had dinner and played games.

Saturday and Sunday - two more fun-filled days at the cabin - swimming, boating, eating. Happy Joe's pizza on Sunday night at home with Ryan's cousin Mike and his friend Debbie. Yum.

Monday we met Maga, Kelli, Mason, Joey at Vanderveer Park with Mike. The kids played and we had a picnic lunch in the park. In the evening we went to Mariellen's and had grilled chicken and corn on the cob for dinner.

Tuesday we went to Ben Butterworth Parkway in Moline and went for a bike ride with Papa and Maga. Jake rode on the back of Papa's bike. We rode for a little over an hour. Then we had a picnic lunch in the park that Papa and Maga packed for us. The boys played on swings and monkey bars. Then we went home for naps! Tuesday night I golfed with Maga and the boys went with Daddy and Mike to get the camper set up for Grizz's bachelor party which Daddy is planning.

Wednesdy was quite a day. I woke up early around 4:30 feeling chest pains. After a couple of hours worrying I decide to go to convenient care. Ryan went with me and Mike stayed with the boys. The doctor determined that it was probably acid reflux as my EKG and chest xrays came back normal. He prescribed some meds and we were on our way - feeling better today (Thursday). Then I went on to the dentist for a cleaning. Mike made the boys bacon and eggs and cleaned up for me! What a guy. Wednesday night everyone came over here for BLT's. The boys had a great time running around the yard and eating Whitey's ice cream pie thanks to Mike's friend Debbie.

Thursday we met Aunt Jonell and Sophia at the Bettendorf Y and went swimming. Long nap for Jake after that. We're on our way to go shopping for school supplies this evening, I think...
