The Day After

Another busy Saturday for us. Danelle took the kids to farmers' market this morning, as well as to the library and a bookstore. Saturdays are my days to sleep in (Danelle gets Sundays), and I had a really late hockey game last night, so I was just rolling out of bed when they were headed out the door. At the bookstore Danelle picked up a math-oriented workbook for Kristin to work on over the summer. After lunch, Kellen went down for a nap and Danelle took Kristin to open swim at the community pool. Sounds like they had a really fun time. Kristin practiced dunking her head under the water and got to go down the water slide a few times.

We grilled hamburgers on the bbq for dinner. Danelle tried a new hamburger mix that turned out really well. After dinner, Kristin and I went to Dairy Queen. It was Kristin's reward for good behavior for the week. We got to use a coupon for a free treat that she brought home with her on her last day of kindergarten. Kristin thought it was pretty neat that we didn't have to pay any money for it. After DQ, Kristin and I headed back home and played with Danelle and Kellen in the yard until bathtime.

Danelle mentioned it last night, but we were happy to watch the Pittsburgh Penquins lift the Stanley Cup last night. What a treat that was. Kristin really got into the whole playoff concept this year. She was able to keep track of wins and losses during each round (she calls them 'levels') of the playoffs. Kellen got to stay up a few minutes late so we could watch part of the celebration together as a family. He knew it was hockey, but not much beyond that. When it was time for bed, he kept saying 'more hockey, more hockey'.
