July 4th Week-end

When the kids come for a week-end I so wish I could have the whole time off but such is life. Amy and Tim arrived Friday evening. Both Curt and I were at work so there wasn't much of a welcome. They flew in so we had to leave Curt's pick-up at the airport for them. Ben and Ashley were going to come on Friday but Ashley wasn't feeling well so they didn't leave until Sabbath morning and arrived just as we were finishing up lunch out at the cabin. Warren and Carol came for lunch also and the Thoms arrived around supper time. It was a beautiful Sabbath and we had some great fellowship time. Since I had to work the night of the 4th, we shot off fireworks Saturday night. It was a little breezier than I like but we still shot them off and they were beautiful.
Sunday the kids went out skiing and then we all went swimming. The water was the clearest and least green that it has been for years. It was a bit chilly when you got in but not bad after your body got adjusted. I got a bit of a sunburn on my chest. I didn't put on any sunscreen since I wanted to soak up as much Vitamin D as I could.
Monday morning I went out to the lake as soon as I got off work and rode in the boat and videoed Ben, Tim and Amy while they skiied. It was hard to say good-bye but I needed to get a little sleep before I had to go back to work.
The time went too fast. I hope I get to see them again before too long.
