100705 - Up and had the day off! Did have to sit at the desk for a bit and get some stuff done, but then out we went! I got the boys and we walked up the street to the creek. We got in the water and the adventure began. We took a two hour hike upstream through the neighborhoods and backyards and saw things you never would from the street. We caught fish, got wet, laughed and had a good time. D's buddy Seth joined us about half way through and we ended up so far away that Lori had to come pick up is at an apartment community. I guess that is what happens when you creek hike for 2.5 hours :-oOh but we arn't done yet!
We grabbed some grub, got on our suits and hit the pool. no better way to get rid of creek scum than the public pool ;-) Home changed and to the church for dinner and the first night of Vacation Bible School or VBS I am told... I left L and the boys there and walked home. I then got some supplies and headed over to Joes house and we took down a HUGE tree in his front yard, piece by piece without hitting any houses, cars or mailboxes... to our amazement. Joe's little boy worked with us and I can only imagine the damage we did to him ;-) We did manage to burn our Joe's electric chainsaw with just the trunk left to cut down. So Joe came over and got mine and stayed a bit to see the boys ride over the ramp they built and talk with Doc. I got the trash out and then headed to McD's to meet the Bible bangers... LONG FUN DAY!!!!
