Papa will probably get scolded for this but Kenzie climbed to the top of the stairs twice today.  The second time I was right behind her to make sure she didn’t fall.  I always tell the kids if they want a better outcome from Papa babysitting they have to pay more.  Free babysitting you get what you pay for.

We dropped off corn bags at the farm after golfing this morning.  Carter and Kenzie got to pet the calves and see the big cows in the barn.

2nd wedding in two weeks survived.  Had lunch at New Holland Brewing Co in Holland MI, one of our better beers.  Food was good but service was very slow, almost late for the wedding.  Carter would take the girls out to the dance floor then abandon them there.  Then they would come after him and he would play shy.  These were my cousin’s girls mostly in their 20’s and kids of their own.

NaNa had a surprise on Thursday after taking Carter to swiming lessons.  He took his wet swim suit off and went potty.  He came back to the living room buck n-a-k-e-d (have to do that to get it past filters)  She asked what he thought he was doing?  He told her it was play n-a-k-e-d day.  Hopefully we get a little notice the next time it comes around so we can all participate.

We haven’t golfed on Monday the last 2 weeks because I had to work at the store.  Carter’s golf game has greatly improved in that time.  He hit the ball very nicely off the tee, about 30 feet and in the air on his best shots and said he won every hole because he putted his ball in the hole first.

Harold who owns Hidden Waters Golf Coarse where we play golf on Monday Mornings got several comments from other golfers today surprised to see how I strap Kensie to the golf cart when we go golfing.  I told him I thought he should do a thing in the Picture Post on our golfing but that he probably wouldn’t want a lot of kids riding along on the golf carts.  It is the best way to get new customers, start the kids golfing young.

Thank you for your support and understanding last week when the power was out on Wednesday and Thursday morning.  The meter reader was in about 10 minutes after the power came back on and asked if we had power yet?  Lights were on and motors running what do you think?  Health inspector was in about 1/2 hour after the power came back on.  She was impressed with the measures we took to keep product cold and speed at which we disposed of product that got to warm.  Hopefully the shelves will be filled by the end of the week.

Aaron and Scott have an elk and bear hunt scheduled for early November in Washington state.  Scott realized on the way up to Alaska that the mountains are pretty steep and he is a little out of shape for chasing elk and bear up and down the mountains.  Got a walk around the block on him Sunday night in his new hiking boots.

My brother in law Dave got married on Saturday and Nah Nah and I had Kenzie while Carter, Aaron and Becki went to Family night at Lambeau.  We had my niece’s 13 year old son walking Kenzie in the stroller to get her to go to sleep.  It was funny watching him with 4 of his girl cousins following him walk back and forth for at least an hour and a half.  Needless to say Kenzie and Carter didn’t go to sleep until after midnight on Saturday.  I had them again on Sunday night while Aaron and Becki went out for dinner with the football coaches.  Neither of them went to sleep until after 11 PM on Sunday night.  I worked on Monday so Aaron had to deal with them.

Another wedding this weekend.  We’ll see if either of them sleep again this week.

My sister Janet didn’t last a year back in the lower 48.  I flew to Seattle last August to drive with her back to Wisconsin.  She worked for a unit of her Alaska employer in west Chicago for almost a year but left last Wednesday to go back to Anchorage.  She didn’t get enough hours and couldn’t afford Chicago.  She is going back to Anchorage to work for her previous employer.    My youngest son Scott is driving up with her.   He has survived his Aunt’s driving with cruise control in the mountains and two flat tires on the trailer.  They are going Halibut fishing tomorrow and looking for an apartment for Janet on Wednesday.  Got to have your priorities right.
