Fun Weekend!

Well, Adam and I had a great weekend...after a super fun, but super exhausting week!  Last week was the first week of "Silly Sports" Camp!  We had a little under 40 campers, grades 1st-3rd!  Fortunately, I had amazing Camp Coaches and Counselors!  They did a great job will all the craziness that is to be expected with summer camp and then some (which is expected because the name of the camp includes the word, "SILLY!").  

In addition to kids' camps, I am getting to be in the gym with the volleyball girls.  They are working so hard!  And, they don't even HAVE to be there!  Everyday, I see each student-athlete show signs of improvement.  

Ok, now...about this past weekend!  Saturday morning, Adam and I rode our bikes (Yes, Adam has a bike now, thanks to our neighbors who were looking for someone to dump the broken thing off on.  Fortunately, we were able to get the gears working again and now Adam and I can ride together!  Naturally, the free bike is a little louder and squeakier than mine, but, hey, it's a bike!) to Sanderson rec center to participate in a local fundraising 5K.  The 5K supported research and awareness of ovarian cancer and honors a local woman who lost her battle with the disease in 2006, Kim C. Gee.  The ceremony was very touching and sweet.  And, after the balloons were released in honor of those affected by ovarian cancer, the rains came.  And it was no joke!!  So, the race was moved indoors and we ran on the track inside Sanderson...25 laps.  And, you know what...it was pretty fun.  There was music and everyone was running together...closely.  

Later Saturday night I played in a pick-up, sand volleyball tournament.  And we won!  Our total earnings...$7!  Haha!  Still, I enjoyed my team and meeting new people that enjoy the sand.  (Although, it was pretty soaked after the big rain storm earlier in the day).  

Sunday, Adam and I enjoyed breakfast with our neighbors and their three year old.  He is a Thomas the Train expert.  I now know all the trains and all about trains, at least magic trains, that is.  Our breakfast lasted from 8:30 to 12:30, and it would have lasted even longer had we not all lost our sugar highs and crashed from our super huge waffle breakfast.  

After a nap, Adam and I headed out to one of the well-known subdivisions in town and attended three open houses.  We are not in the market for a house, exactly, but we did enjoy just seeing what Starkville has to offer.  It was a very interesting afternoon filled with HGTV-esq comments from us and the different real estate agents.  We saw things we liked and features we didn't like.  And, we both came away thankful that we have a great place to rent, at least for the next year!
