Day 17

This morning after breakfast I decided to go for a 5 mile run while waiting for Kelsey to finish her pitching lesson with Emilia. Once I finished that, I changed into my bathing suit and started getting my stuff together for the lake. When Kelsey called to tell me she was heading back, I biked over to her place so we could make sandwiches and pack the cooler, then we biked down to the store so I could buy some mixed nuts and a drink. From the store we started biking toward the lake, which is about a 30 minute bike ride, and it rained on us the whole way there. As soon as we got there it stopped raining, though, and was sunny and warm the rest of the time. 


We had a couple puppies run over us while we were laid out on the dock... they were so cute. We stayed at the lake for about 3.5 hours and then had to start biking back home because we had practice at 6. As we were riding back, we passed some horses on the side of the path standing really close to the fence, so we stopped to try to pet them and take some pictures. I was trying to stick my hand out to one of the horses, and the fence shocked me... I was wondering how that puny little rope fence kept people out... now I know :) One of the horses was acting really weird, so I took a few pictures of him and a video that will be up on Facebook soon. 


We got back around 5:15, so I had to quickly change into my practice clothes and get that stuff together and then bike down to the field. I stayed late to catch Ingrid, so I didn't get home til 9 and hadn't eaten dinner yet so I just had an apple and the sandwich that I didn't eat for lunch. 


Tomorrow is the last day of classes for all the kids and they all have some sort of "graduation," so I will be attending those all morning, and then all of the family members will be coming over either for lunch or dinner and we will eat smorgastorte? Which is like layered sandwiches with a different topping on each layer. Tove is having a party at the house tomorrow night, but I think they are all camping out in the backyard. 


Well, that's all for today. Time for me to shower and get ready for bed :)
