Oh boy, where do I start this week. Well, last week included music, tractors and family. Not a bad week. This week was a good one, too. I had to do some work on my new bike so I spent time "wrenching" and did pretty well ... the thing runs like a champ. (A man can take a lot of pleasure from working with his hands.)
I started week one of my swimming lessons and am a lot better than I was last year. I go under water. I blow bubbles. I kick with the kickboard. I really, really am having fun!
Speaking of tractor shows I organized one in the basement this week. It was successful enough that I'm planning a second one so if anyone has any tractors they want to enter just let me know.
Mom and I had Vacation Bible School mornings this week. It was my very first time and I had a blast. She volunteered to help and it was nice to have her in my class. Today at church we did the program and I had fun. I'm right in the middle of this picture waiting for services to start.
We were all moving fast so Dad struggled to get a good shot but this was our first song and I danced and sang really well (again, in the middle of the shot).
After the service we had a party! There was an inflatable slide ...
... and a dunk tank where we got to dunk the teenagers who helped during the week. (I already put my name in the hat to sit in tank and am on the list for VBS 2025.)
This evening we met up with the Fletchers at Incredible Pizza to eat and play. Mom, Dad and I got there a bit early so I drove ...
... and played air hockey with Dad. (Who thinks Grandma Kathy and Papa need one of these in their basement.)
Once everyone arrived it was fun, fun, fun!
Look, we're in a spaceship!
I'm too short to ride the bumper cars so Mom took my place and rode with Grant. (She had a bit too much fun.)
Afterwards Grant and I rocked out on Guitar Hero. (KISS songs are surprisingly difficult. Who knew?!)
Watch out ... I'm a race car driver!
There weren't any photos taken of the event, but I wanted to let everyone know that Grant stepped up his game tonight and got me a rubber ball from one of the machines after Mom struggled. Thanks, bud ... I owe you one.
That's it for this week.
Later, gang!
