SuperHero!

We had an awesome weekend. Joe's sister and brother-in-law came down from ND for the weekend and stayed at a hotel with a pool. The girls were in heaven!! They swam Sat and Sun and still didn't want to get out on Sun night to eat. Jeanne and Gary even went to school to have lunch with Kate (Jenna had a picnic and parents weren't allowed) on Monday. Kate came in for lunch, zoomed right past me and gave Gary a hug. Now I know what Joe feels like :) There was even some excitement! Saturday at the pool, Joe fished a little 1 or 2year old out of the deep end and saved her from drowning. She had wandered out of her hotel room and stepped right into the pool. Joe saw it happen, ran over and grabbed her, and pulled her out. The pool was so busy, no one had even noticed the little girl. Then it turns out, he's done this BEFORE! Back in the late 80's he fished a little kid about the same age out of a lake. There were other people there, but they thought the girl was bobbing along. Joe had been parking a boat trailer, realized she was drowning, ran past the other people, jumped in the lake and pulled her out. It's fairly ironic that he's saved more kids than some lifeguards, and he can't swim. One kid would be a hero, but two earns him Superhero status!!

Summer is supposed to be starting, but it barely got to 60 degrees yesterday. Today it will be all the way up to a whopping 64 degrees. Today is also the last day of school. We're all excited about having the summer to play (although I'm a tad nostalgic about my loss of freedom). We're going to start by having sleep overs tonight. That way we can begin the summer by being tired and cranky tomorrow! Hopefully they'll have enough fun tonight that tomorrow will be a nice peaceful day. If all else fails we can go to a matinee.
