Typical beach week. I thought taking Josiah would occupy Matthew…the project was a 75% success. Josiah was great, and couldn’t have been sweeter. He got Matthew out of the room and into the ocean more than ever. At night they enjoyed hanging out at the hot tub, and at dusk they took walks on the beach. But on a few days Matthew still would grouchily retreat to the room, instead of hitting the ocean for an afternoon session…leaving Josiah with little to do. A couple of times it was just me and Josiah in the waves.
Everyone had someone to hang out with except for Grant. Billy stayed several days.
No one reads much at the beach (except Anna’s cousin) so in the past I wouldn’t either, to better fit in. I decided to change that this year, and finished my Keith Green paperback and Joel Rosenberg hardback, and read most of the hilarious Assassination Vacation paperback. Saturday I checked out the next
Had a great time at Camp Highland Sunday. Will “helped” Matthew climb that rock wall…it was great he didn’t give up. Stepping off the edge on those long, high zip lines is tough…I don’t know how Matthew did that. And it was good to catch up with Joel and Kara. Anna posted pictures from Sunday, and a few from the beach. Kara immediately made one her profile picture (as did I).
My college roommate Tom went to the Sunday night Braves game in Cincy. Linebrek gave up a walkoff in the bottom of the ninth…first pitch of the inning. Uggla had a 15 game hit streak going into last night’s game, and I know he reached base. He’s hit over .300 for the last month. Chipper’s back, and homered. I may go on Thursday.
Michael isn’t listed on the fall roster or email list, nor is his number reserved for next spring. Adam and Braeden aren’t listed, but they’re still on the email list. Tanner is on the fall team.
Switchfoot will be back at Celebrate Freedom, along with the Newsboys.
