We have had a fantastic weekend! Jeremy, Evan and I went to my sister's house yesterday evening and had great food, great conversation and a wonderful time hanging out watching fireworks after dark. We didn't get home until after 11pm - something very unusual for us lately. It was great spending time with the family and celebrating the holiday.

Today the three of us went to CJ Barrymore's. We had a blast!! We started out with the indoor driving range which confirmed the fact that I REALLY want to start golfing. After an hour or so of that we headed over to the batting cages - which, unfortunately, wasn't a very good experience. Evan isn't ready for that yet. The balls are pitched much faster than in his league. He was standing too close to the plate and got hit in the hand with a ball at 45 mph. He dropped to the ground and cried for a good five minutes. I was afraid he broke his hand, but luckily it turned out to be just a minor injury. Once that fiasco was over with we moved over to ride the go-karts . Well, Jeremy and Evan did. Me and "Baby G" sat on the bleachers and cheered them on. *grin* Then we took refuge in the air conditioned bar, ate some pretty good food and watched the last couple of innings of the Tigers game - which we won! After filling our bellies we went to the arcade and spent the 112 game tokens we purchased. We grabbed some ice cream on our way out and headed back home. We are quite exhausted, but it was a wonderful way to spend the day.
