First Bus Ride


Today my son wanted to ride the bus to school. His first day was yesterday and my wife and I took him to school and helped him get settled in. He has been saying for a while now that he wanted to ride the bus to school. I did not think he would like it but if he wanted to I would let him. He was very excited when he woke up this morning right up until he got on the bus. All smiles. So yet another first.

The Mets beat the Brewers last night in 10 innings. Granted the blew a four run lead they hung in there and got the job done. Should I now get excited.. NO they only have a 2 game lead over the Phillies and over 20 games to go. I am happy but will not go over board.

Camping Labor Day





This weekend we went camping at Morrow Mountain State park. It was a great time. We got in Saturday around 230 or so. Got the tent set up in a short amount of time. After that my wife and several other families went to the pool and swam for a little while. In the mean time some of the dads and I got a little work out (twelve ounce curls) and started to get dinner ready. We had dinner then sat around the camp fire. Sunday we got up had a great breakfast. Then we set out to go canoeing. I had had only been in a canoe only once before with my brother many years ago. It was me my wife and my son in a canoe. My son was actually a little scared at first but he did warm up to the idea after that. All and all I think it was a great experience for him. Mom and dad had a great time also canoeing. We spend most of the time going sideways but we worked together. We just relaxed after that. I am also told that Sunday night kept a few people up with my snoring.



Today was the first day of kindergarten for my son. My wife and I dropped him of and met his teacher. She is a little bubbly but we will see how that goes. It brings back memories from my days in kindergarten. Best story from kindergarten; I was in the bathroom messing around and my neighbor while waiting to go wet her pants. Well my teachers though it would be a good idea to put them in the toaster. Needless to say they got burnt. Good times. But what do I know…..
