Weekend June 23rd-24th

Big news is on Friday I had LASIK surgery on my eyes. Went in at 8.30 on Friday morning, operation took about 15 minutes, home by 10am, couple of hour nap and hey presto, when I woke up I could see better than when I had glasses.

Mary Ann was in Chicago this weekend so it was just the boys on their lonesome. I missed Mary Ann cos I love her, the boys missed Mary Ann because she is great company and she cooks way better food than I do!!!

Boys got dropped over at around 8pm on Friday night and we watched Ghost Rider on DVD.

Saturday got up early as had to go back to the eye doctor for follow up appointment. He had a look and then tested my vision and I have 20/20 vision, which he says should only get better.

Picked bagels up on the way home and then around 11 we went to the swimming hole that Kieran and Nicholas have joined. It is an old quarry that is filled with fresh water. Kicked around there for about 4 hours as it was very quiet and a beautiful day.

Picked up some food to cook on the way home and I cooked the boys dinner, then we went to see Fantastic 4 at the movies Saturday night.

Sunday I had a bit of a sleep in, cooked the boys frittata for breakfast. We then went for a hike up Mt. Sourland.

Mt Sourland - June 2007

We did the long hike, about 6 miles, which took just under 3 hours. We were all pretty tired by the time we finished. Something very exciting happened while we were hiking, a tree fell down about 50 yeards away from us, not a little tree mind you, a great big one. No warning, just boom crash and it was on the ground.

Got some lunch on the way home, then the boys played on the computer for a while before I dropped them home around 8pm.
