Besides a bit of tiredness on my part, the illness of two days ago has passed completely. We all slept well last night after hanging out and having a nice dinner. Today, Cleo and Ludo woke up early to go wakeboarding. Ludo got hit in the head with the board, and spent some time in the ER. He got stitches (staples, actually) and can’t swim for ten days.
I took the bikes off of the car and went for a short ride in the morning, jumping in the lake to cool off afterwards. Sweet. We had a quiet rest of the morning, playing a neat game (Dixit) with Justin and Cleo. After lunch, we went in the boat to the other side of the lake, near an old amusement park Nonnie remembers.
After we got back, we were hot and sweaty and jumped in the lake.
I worked on my email and then figured out how to post photos and wrote this. Cocktail hour now; dinner soon.
July 5th, 2012 at 10:10 am Hi all. I am happy to hear that none of your temperatures are triple digits any more even though the outside temp might be. Arghh on me! I might have remembered the amusement park but I sure didn’t remember how to spell “Okoboji”. Marv has had a pretty uncomfortable rash but he is an amazing sport about it. Just like Izzy. We went to the Rivins for the 4th and at least I had my annual fat hot dog (actually 2 very large, yummy ones). We left early but watched spectacular fireworks on television. Did you ever see the Macy’s display on the Hudson? Say hi to Justin, Carolyn, Ludo, and Cleo and blow some bubbles in the lake for me. I hope Ludo is feeling better. Lots of love.
July 5th, 2012 at 10:58 am I just said hi to everyone for you so you don’t need to worry. We all enjoyed the story about your getting locked out of your room. We also saw a bit of a humiliating story of me and Ludo today, the video of the day he poured water on my head.
July 6th, 2012 at 6:54 am Sounds great, other than Ludo’s staples. Here’s some music from Iowa’s favorite son: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arW5XjOdCvk&feature=related
