Saturday, I woke up early and rode long with Larry, Mike and Dave H. We met Jorge, Andy and Melissa downtown and rode to St. Paul with them. Thanks Jorge for the coffee! After getting home I spent the afternoon in the yard picking up stuff blown down from a windy week, mowing and weeding the landscaping. Holly sat on the dock and read while Lilly and the neighbor kids played in the river all afternoon.
Sunday Holly woke up early to do the "Chili Dog" ride with Carol, Mike and Dan. Lilly and I went to church and then played at the duck park on the way home. After lunch I waded into the river to adjust the boat lift and remove the latest bunch of driftwood. The river is easily warm enough to wade and swim. The kids saw I was in the water and decided it was swimming time. After Holly returned from her ride she watched the kids and splashed in the river with them while I uncovered the boat and changed the oil in both engines. I also squeezed in a quick bike ride in the park while Holly and Lilly watched, "The Incredibles."
Lilly at the Duck Park
Memorial Day Holly woke up early again to go on a shorter ride with Cindy. Lilly and I played around in the boat pretending to clean it until mom came home. Holly and Lilly went on an REI run while I ran a long one in the park. My ankle didn't hurt at all so I'm optimistic it's healed. I spent the afternoon cleaning out the inside of the boat and washing and waxing the hull.
Shiny Boat
The good news is the boat is ready to be put in the river. The bad news is we're busy enough this week and weekend that it'll probably be a couple weeks before we do.
We finished up a great weekend eating out as a family.
