Luckiest day of the year


On Saturday (7/7/07), Andrew and I went over to Lake Hiawatha in Minneapolis to clean up Minnehaha creek. REI and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District had a cleanup event. It was really cool! Andrew got to learn about why we were cleaning up the creek and how those 3 big bags of trash got into the creek. It is really sad just how much trash doesn't make it into the trash cans that are placed about every quarter mile. We followed the creek's winding path from 28th ave to about 35th ave. Sometimes we walked in the creek, sometimes we were on the trails, and sometimes we were walking through fields, grasses, and forests. Andrew had lots of fun a I think he really understood why this was a good thing. It also helped that there were several people that told us "thank you for cleaning up the park" as they rode or walked by.

One of the cool things was that they made us a pancake and sausage breakfast and REI gave everyone really cool high-tech, sweat wicking t-shirts.

On Sunday, we skipped church. On really warm days they move church to the basement because the basement has 2 window AC units. Between the crowdedness of the basement and the eventual heat that forms and the folding chairs, we have issues getting anything out of church. I let April sleep in, then we realized it was really too warm in the house. So we went and saw the 10:30 showing of Ratatouille. Andrew saw previews for it on the Cars DVD we borrowed and has been asking to see the rat movie. Andrew is a little sensitive when it comes to the big screen. Ratatouille was no exception, he ended up in my lap for about 1/2 of the movie. During the credits he was crawling around the empty seats saying he was Remy the rat. Afterward, he thanked us several times for taking him to the movie.

Ok count this as a post for 7/10, I wrote too many posts today. Tomorrow, I need to work on figuring out what to do with the Jeep.
