The first swim meet and Hunter’s party

We had a great weekend.  We just did our regular hang-out thing on Friday night, but then we had a VERY full Saturday.  We got up at 6:30 in the morning so we could drive up to the Wake Forest area for a swim meet.  Both Kelly and Christian started the swim season with a bang by winning some ribbons and making some personal best times.  Right after the meet, we ran Christian over to his friend, Hunter’s house (a great setting) so he could go fishing.  While we were there, Lorena, Kelly, and I picked up Hunter’s little sister Emma and went to the Holly Springs Library where I was able to pick up the book on CD’s that I had ordered via inter-library loan.  Now I have some more stuff for my mp3 player that I use during my running workouts.  After that, we went home, changed clothes and went to an absolutely fabulous evening to celebrate Hunter’s birthday.

We were pretty burnt out by Sunday afternoon, after lunch we stopped at the bookstore for a bit, then went home so Kelly could work on her Betty Blonde’s for next week.  We have to get way ahead now so we will have enough comics for when we all go to Oregon in August.  She and Rubix worked really hard.  I think she finished five comics, but then we realized that she needed some new inking pens so we ran down to Target to get some.  While we were there, Christian and I ran over to Home Depot to get the last few things we need to finish the main structure of the way over due Cat Tower.  We cut some stuff and drilled some holes when we got home.  Now all we need to finish the thing off is some glue, carpet, staples, and a little more rope.  We will put some pictures up as soon as we have the structure together.

    I look rather mechanical when I play… Aah, well! We’re going to check out the Holly Springs library that Ken loves so much.
