Saturday in Superior

From Wisconsin --

Aaron's got the boys on the 4-wheelers, so I thought I'd blog for a bit. This morning, we headed to the Brule River for a canoe ride. Gregory got to paddle up front with Poppy (Aaron's Dad) in the back, Daniel in the middle. Aaron and I had Jonathan in our canoe. I'll post pics when I get home. It was a clear, 70ish day with great sunshine. Couldn't ask for anything better.

Daniel and I almost stayed behind because he threw up after breakfast, but he's been fine ever since. Funny how you just clean up and go and not worry about it with three boys and all their injuries/ailments. Aaron could see Daniel wouldn't make it to the bathroom, so he swoops him from the living room into the ceramic-tiled hallway, so it would be easier to clean. A little funny, but not at the time...another two points for SuperDad.

Has anybody played Wii Nintendo?? This thing is amazing. Aaron's parents' have it and I can't believe how fun it is. Forget sitting and pushing buttons on a controller; we're talking stand up and play tennis like you are really on the court or throw that ball down the lane for bowling. It's pretty realistic for a video game and you pat yourself on the back for "exercising." The boys love bowling and tennis, and sometimes golf, but that's more of a challenge for them. There's also boxing and baseball. Ya gotta play it!

Alright, that's all from up north. School starts Tuesday and I, for one, am doing the dance of joy. Gregory, a big first grader going all day every day, and Daniel at preschool three mornings a week. Hot Diggity Dawg.
