Kids and their Sports

Friday was a miserable day here in Florida, 69 for a high and that was a midnight, 'til I got up at 7:30 it was 64 and the mist was heavy in the air.  We finally sorted our mail and after about 10 phone calls and Internet searches for renewals, etc., we headed up to Brownwood (part of the Villages) for lunch and then a quick stop at Alliance Coach.  Well we had lunch at McAlister's and headed home, never stopping at Alliance Coach.  We did a quick walk with Rudy then out we go to the school to watch the track meet and Morgan compete.  They had the 4x2 first and came in first, then about a 1.5-2.0 hour wait to see here participate in the hurdles.  It was nice to see here compete, but the 55 degree drizzle was miserable.  We left after the hurdles and headed home to turn on the heat and change clothes.  She had one more race to compete in, but another 2 hour wait, we just weren't willing to do, we now remember why you have kids at a young age, it was almost 8:30 when we left and I'm not sure we would have lasted another 2 hours. 

 

Saturday was so different, sunny and warm, so off to Wildwood to watch the kids play soccer.  After about 4 hours of sitting in the sun, the kids were done and headed to the County Fair, while we

Nice day to watch
the kids play.

headed to Fresh Market for some meats.  We got sausage (for sausage and biscuits) and a few other things for us.  Back home where I made some sausage patties for us then over to Shari's to drop off the rest of the sausage.  Home again, burgers on the grill with corn on the cob....not a bad meal.  A lazy evening on the patio, heading in a little after dark. 

 

 

 

 

Sunday was a tough one, a lost hour of sleep and then off to Matt and Shari's for sausage and biscuits.  We were a little late getting there, but since breakfast was just getting ready, we really weren't late.  We hung out there until about noon and they started getting ready to head to the beach, so we headed home.  A walk for Rudy and then off to play bingo (Brad actually came along).  Neither of us won, but it was fun and we had at least one winner at our table.  We talked with Gene and Dawn for a little while after bingo, then headed home to tend to Rudy.  We walked for a little while, then headed home for a salad with grilled chicken.....not a bad meal.
