Kristen, Ryan and I got up at 6 a.m. and left promptly at 7:00 a.m. for Kristen's all-day Kicks 4 Cancer soccer tournament. We drove for an hour to Olympic Park in Schaumburg. Upon arriving, I called her coach to see where we were suppose to meet him. I was informed that the tournament had been cancelled due to the heavy rains we were experiencing. (Originally, they were going to play rain or shine, but the fields were too soggy from the rain so it was cancelled.) So we turned around and drove an hour home.
Upon arriving home, I made a list for Michael's birthday dinner tomorrow night. For his "Quince," we are having a family from our ward and the missionaries over for dinner. We will be serving Chicken Cordon Bleu, Spanish Rice, Green Salad, Fruit Salad, rolls and the pink fluffy jello. Kristen and I then went to the grocery store, bought groceries, and then meandered over to the appointed place to pick up Taylor from Scout camp.
All I can say is STINKY, STINKY SCOUT CAMP!! During Taylor's adventures at Scout Camp, they had to endure many days of rain which translated into wet, soggy, stinky clothes, sleeping bag and tent.
However, I was sort of prepared because just the week before, I fetched Michael from his scouting High Adventure and was accosted by the same sort of stinkiness....(although not as stinky....)
Upon arriving home, the offending items were quickly thrown into my beloved washing machine.
All the while I was dealing with these issues, Matthew was enjoying the GREAT WALL OF CHINA ....He has been in China for two weeks of work and spent his last day there enjoying some of the fabulous sights, sounds and smells of Beijing and Shanghai.
The highlight of today was picking Matthew up at the airport. YEAH!!!
He became an instant hero in our children's eyes as he unveiled his gifts for them.....
Great Wall of China clothes....
Beautiful golf clubs with a travel bag.
More beautiful golf clubs...
Who knew they made Callaway's so small????
