Hello Family!

How is the family. It seems a little quiet from certain households. Not to point fingers or anything. Michele and I have been pretty sick the past week. I am on day 3 and Michele is on day 6. I am starting to feel a little better but when I see Michele cough and sneeze and be stuffed up, I realize it might not be over for me either. I sure hope it is not another 3+days for me.

Kaitlyn won her game tonight 12-5. They beat Eagle and revenged their earlier loss. This is exciting as this puts MV in a good position to get a good seed in the district tournament for the J.V. teams. She plays tomorrow and Monday and Tuesday next week. She has settled in as Catcher which makes it tough as she will miss two games for Derek's graduation.

I will be going on my 114th campout as a scoutmaster tomorrow night. We are going to Leslie Gulch. It is a really pretty cool place with a lot of fun hikes in beautiful surroundings. I will take my camera and see if I can get some of the cool rock formations.

I am itching to get out in the garden and grow my plants. It is going to be 77 here on Monday. I will need to till the garden and get it ready to plant.

I sure love all of you. I can't wait for August when we can cruise as brothers and sisters with our loving parents. It will be a blast. I have already checked out some of the fun things to do on the ship. It looks like they have some simulated golf. I am sure we will have a lot of fun. Anybody having any thoughts on fun things to do on the shore excursion? I am told we must go on the train ride and the totem pole tour. It looks like there is an Aerial tram that looks fun. It looks like it starts right where the cruise ships dock.

Talk to you again soon.
