This past weekend was filled with tons of fun and exciting things. At first I pondered how fun my weekend would be but it turned out to be a blast.
Friday, which could possibly be one of the best days of the week, started off the weekend on a good note. My younger sister decided that she wanted to hang out with Cody and I. Her boyfriend recently left on his mission and she hasn't done much other than hanging out at home and watching movies. We finally got her to go out. On Friday night we went to dinner together and went and saw the movie 'get smart'. It has to be the funniest movie I have seen in a while, I would highly recommend it if you are in need of a laugh. It was really fun to hang out with Kellyn and Cody and just enjoy each other. We got home around 12 and just hung out with our puppy for an hour.
Saturday morning started really early. Cody went flying at 7am. He did his first solo that morning. He flew for an hour or so by himself doing touch and gos and was really good at it. The tower told him they were impressed with his skills and this being the first time he had flown alone. While Cody was flying I was fighting a battle at home. With the recent influx of Roxy, my family's dog, barking.. My dad invested in a bark control collar. Since Tyke had gotten in the flow of barking at Roxy when she runs around in the backyard, Saturday morning was no different. He ran outside and was barking at her unstoppable. I felt bad because Roxy would attempt to bark back but would get a shock and would immediately stop. I wriggled my way between the two puppies and separated them for a while. After getting the two of them separated I prepared for my Frisbee golf game. My mother-in-law and brother-in-law have recently picked up the sport of Frisbee golf. They had invited me to come along. Well I prepped and met them and Cody for a game. We went to UVU and played on their 12 hole course. It is quite challenging and tricky. I didn't score to great and spent alot of time chasing down my Frisbee but it was fun. We did lose two Frisbees to the water ponds. Sad. Cody did quite well, he and his brother competed for first, and tied. It was fun. Afterwards, we grabbed some lunch and then headed over to Cody's parents house.
Once we got there, Justin (brother-in-law), challenged all of us to a game of 'horse' in basketball. We all went outside in the 96 degree weather and played two rounds of the game. I almost won once, but lost to Cody. After we finished up Cody and his brother played some one on one and got really intense. They had a good time though, even though Cody lost to his younger brother. They decided to beat the heat by jumping in the pool. Cody was the first in there and enjoyed the water. I sat in the shade allowing my legs to get some sun. We sat and chatted it was quite fun. After all this we decided that we would go home and spend some time with our cute puppy.
Upon arrival, I found my Dad and younger sister doing this project in the backyard. Recently we had our patio ripped up due to some dry rot that was found on the bottom of the house. When they tore it up they found that the electrical wire that was run from the house to the fountain was not buried in a pipe and could easily be damaged. To save on cost of fixing it my dad decided that he would bury the pipe himself and then just let the electrician run the wire. I felt bad that they hadn't told me so I could help, so I seized the chance and changed and went out to help. We tore up a patch of the patio, a strip in the lawn, part of the rock wall and dug a trench to the fountain. We successfully buried the pipe and put the yard back together. It was intense, we finished around 7.
Well after being covered in dirt, I decided that a shower was in order. So after cleaning off, Cody showed me his chest. From swimming and playing basketball, he had burned himself quite bad. He has little blisters on his shoulders and is a nice shade of red. He spent the night with no shirt on and hourly aloe Vera treatments. He is still quite red and in a bit of pain, but it is starting to ease up. He will have a lovely tan when it is gone.
Well, I would have to say that fRiSbEe gOlF + sWiMmInG + bAsKeTbAlL = fUn..
