Whew!
Now Playing: The sounds of two little boys playing in the tub
What a weekend!

Yesterday was a whirl wind trip down to Cape Cod for my exam. DH and the boys decided to go with me, which was a great relief to me. While I was in class, they did a Duckmobile tour (which included a drive in the ocean), a beach walk and a visit to the JFK Museum in Hyannis.

After finishing my class, we headed home. Once here, I got ready to go see Elton John. My husband was too tired from the day out to go, so I asked Deanna, and we had a great time at the concert. Not only did we get to see an amazing preformance (I highly recommend seeing Elton John at least once in your life) which lasted over 2 1/2 hours, but we also got to giggle at the way some "adults" act while at concerts (like dancing as if you were ready to mount the pole at a strip club and how we noticed that when Elton played a few of his slower songs, only a handful of hands with lighters could be seen in the audience; have that many people stopped smoking?). And let me just say for the record that Deanna managed to get us the Doris Day parking spot of the evening. I have NEVER been closer to the Mullin's Center than I was last night for ANY event, including basketball games. Not only did we only have to walk a couple hundred feet to the arena, but we were out of there is record time; no waiting for an hour for the parking lot to clear, as I am usually stuck back in no-man's land. :)

Today was equally as fun. I worked the sidelines at the benefit football game played against the New England Patriot's All Stars team. Let's just say that I have a new respect for those people at the games that work the "chains", the two poles that are run up and down the field to show where a first down will happen again for the team that is playing offense. But being on the "chain gang" as we were called. was a lot of fun, and I hope that this benefit football game will be played again next year (and yes, I did originally say that I would be playing today, but sanity took over sometime on Friday evening at practice, when I realized that there were PLENTY of local guys who wanted to go out on that field and be heroes, so I let them ). I will post pictures tomorrow of the photos I had taken with the various Patriot players.

Due to our wonderful warm weather, we finished the day off with a barbeque on the grill.

And as an aside, Ripley's babies went outside today to stay with her. Now that the weather is so warm, and they are starting to become curious as to what is on the other side of those nestbox walls, they will do better out there. :)

Fun weekend (well, not the exam part). My father in law is like Deanna, in that he can ALWAYS get the best parking spot. Sometimes, if I channel him while parking, I can get one too.
