Had a great weekend, as usual filled with lots of stuff.
Friday evening was spent getting the kids to their respective lessons (Travis for piano, Hallie for horse riding). Saturday morning had the whole family at Lions Park to help guide development of the new playgrounds at Lions Park and Lockwood.
After lunch on Saturday, I spent the afternoon getting some media training as part of the Operation Free group I’ve been working with. It was very informative and will help me deliver my message, no matter what the audience. I skipped out on having dinner with the group, though, as I already had dinner plans.
Dinner was, of course, a celebration of Kelly’s birthday, and we joined many friends at 18 Seaboard for the occasion. The food was great (as always) and the company even better. It was great seeing all our friends making connections with other friends. That’s one of the best things about getting to know so many people.
Sunday we didn’t have anything scheduled, so we used the time to get things organized around the house. Kelly helped the kids pick out toys they no longer played with for donation to a local charity. I tackled my messy desk and shelves and also sorted through our videotape collection. In-between we found time for playing a “bowling” game with Travis, Mad-libs with the whole family, and after-dinner Christmas carols, complete with flute, guitar, and bells. We’re getting better, even!
It was a good wintry weekend.
Horse riding lessons? Dude, have you learned nothing from my blog? 😉
Heh. Yes, I know where that can lead. Maybe I’m foolish to think that I can control it! 🙂
Dude, I’m with cod on this….
First off, something about horses makes girls NUTZ!!! Maybe Hallie’s immune, maybe not.
Second, if you want a fair open-minded assessment talk to the G-man about his co-worker and their horses. Wow!
The Piano however rules…glad to hear that Travis is doing that.
