So it has been a while. I had a kidney infection which is what kept me from writing. Not very pleasant.
Mark and I went camping this last weekend. It was so gorgeous. It is a river called Breitenbush River out east by Detroit Lake. It was wonderful. The water was clear and clean. Lots of masqitoes though. Speaking of which did you know that only the female masquitoes drink your blood. Interesting isn't it. Anyway, our camping spot was great. Long way from other camping spots and away from the road. Our new tent did great. Kept all the little creapy crawlies out. It is soooo big. I love it. It can be turned into 3 rooms. It is great. It is so easy to put up that one person can do it too. That is very helpful! I got to see a black bear that was crossing a very unpleasant dirt road. He was so cute. It is amazing they can run so fast when they look so clutzy running.
Mark and I didn't do anything for the 4th. Just stayed at home and hosed off the house and lawn.
We got Susan all moved a few weeks ago. Happy to have that done. I love the new place. Can't say I did much though. I mostly took care of the kids. We had a few very bad times though. Jacob almost drowned. I decided to take the kids swimming to get them out of everyone's way. I told Jacob that he needed to stay in the shallow end and showed him where he can't go past. Well he thinks he can swim, just because he can move himself while touching the bottom of the pool. So he thought he would not listen because he knew what he was doing and jumped into the deep end. Lets just say that made for some very unhappy people because I wouldn't let him back in after that. So I left the kids with Mark and went with Susan to go work on the old apartment. It was a great break.
Jacob went to his mothers for the 4th. He will be coming back this wednesday the 11th. He went to his grandmothers after his moms. So I gotta figure out fun stuff to do.
