Saturday morning we woke up early and headed to campus for the second day which was a longer race. We took Miss B and she got to play in The Fountain at the Guest House. - For those of you just tuning in, we used to live in the Chancellor's Guest House (CHG) on KU campus and the driveway had a fountain at the end. - They've been remodeling the CGH, so we of course had to peek in all the windows to check it out, however there isn't much change yet. We parked it at the Chi O fountain - bigger version of the CGH Fountain - and Miss B helped herself to a little dip, can't blame her though it was H-O-T!!!
We had heard several people talk about a waterfall out at the dog park, so a few weeks ago, we ventured out and found it and B LOVED IT!! So we decided to head back out there on Saturday. We didn't know how she would react to the deeper water, so we waded out with her and then some other dogs came along and she jumped right in! On the upper portion of the waterfall, she could touch all the way across and when she would run she looked like a teeter-totter it was hilarious!

Nice B - way to ruin a perfect picture! HAHA no idea what the Husband was doing!
Happy Girl!
After the dog park, we headed home to shower, then we got an invite back out to the lake, but this time to go boating with the Evan's Family! So we ate some lunch, then headed back out to the lake. We did a little swimming in some 'extra frothy' water... Kinda gross, but if you cleared your area, you could keep the froth away. Then we did some tubing and water skiing. (pics to come!) I attempted skiing again - getting up was no problem, but every-time, my feet would fly forward and I would get my very own lake water enema - lovely. So I stuck with tubing most of the day.
Sunday I couldn't really move, d/t to lack of being in shape - that tubing really did me in - sad! After church, we headed back downtown for the last day of Tour de Lawrence. Unfortunately it was raining of and on all morning. We did get to see a few wipe outs, one was on their last lap and it cleared about 8 cyclists - I felt so bad for them! Since it was raining, I took our old camera but of course the battery was dead :(
Sunday night we went to the movie 'Super 8' - was a thriller about aliens. I thought it was going to be a super scary movie, but it ended up being a pretty good movie (and I don't really like sci-fy stuff!) Reminded us of a cross of The Goonies & ET. Overall a little cheesy but not bad!
Monday the Husband got up WAY too early (5:45 - crazy guy) and washed both our cars and buffed out headlights - I'll let him explain that process - he's a little obsessed with this new toy! I was still really sore so I was trying to sleep it off :). That afternoon we went downtown again with the Shearburn's to the Lawrence Originals Event. It is a group of restaurants around town that get together in the park and sell small portions of their best sellers or new items on their menus. Last year the food was much better - more variety - but it was still fun this year. We split some nachos and a braut and I got a raspberry beer, one of my favs!
Yogi bear was there... Random... but we got our picture with him anyways!
We all went back to the park that evening to watch the Firework Show...
I miss GB Fireworks!
All in all it was a very busy but fun weekend!
Happy 4th of July
