summer is here and I am loving it!
The kids are out of school and if they're not in camps we get to hang out and do fun stuff.
We go to the pool, the splash pad, museums etc. or just hang out around the house in the back yard or in our "small" pool.
It's been a little over a month since my last post, so let me look up real quick what some of my main fun things were I did. :)
Some friends and I discovered our new favorite weekend activity:
Cosmic Bingo
It's at a Casino about 30 minutes away from here.
We usually have dinner at the buffet, which has a lot of different foods from different countries and isn't expensive at all.
The first Cosmic Bingo session starts at 11pm (fridays and saturdays) . There are two sections (smoking+ non-smoking) and I guess there are about 350 people there at one night (one night they had a ladies night and it was packed! :) )
There is a DJ and the lights are off and they have lasers going through the room and loud music.
It is a lot of fun and there are different Bingos you need to get, so it's doesn't get boring. One session lasts about one hour and there are two a night. I like to stay for both sessions and get home around 2 am in the morning. :) I love it!
Oh right, I haven't told you about our trip to Duluth yet!
So we left on a wednesday morning and drove for about...um. 4 hours I think.
We stayed at a house where all the kids shared a room and I got my own. :) We were close to the beach and I even went for a run at it one day.
Every time we went into town, we had to cross over a big bridge, which went up to let boats through. It was neat to see it operate.
We did a lot of fun things and sightseeing which was awesome.
One day we went to a big Lighthouse and spent some time there. Walking around the property and hearing stories about the people who used to live there. It was great.
After that we went to see some cliffs and also the Gooseberry Falls. Waterfalls which were gorgeous and a great walk through the woods.
We also went to a train museum, where they had all sorts of..umm, well trains (hehe).
You were able to climb up on them and learn about them.
The same day we went to rent a bike for 4 people. Four people get to sit behind each other in twos and peddle and the boys got to sit up front and just enjoy being taken everywhere.
On our way back on saturday we stopped at a fur trading post and had an awesome tour there. It was like walking into the past and our tour guide was awesome!
I have spent some nice days at the pool, just by myself. Reading and hanging out all day. It's nice to just do that every once in a while.
Last week I got to see my dear friend Kaleena from Canada after a long time again.
She and a part of her family were on a roadtrip and had time to stop and see me. It was soo good to catch up with her and spend time with her, her mom and sisters!!
We went to Under Water World at the MOA which was nice. Then got to have dinner together and just talk for a while! I loved it!
I also just got my papers to request my return flight.
I have about 4 months left in my year, and it is strange to think about the flight home yet.
Well, that's it for now. Leave me a comment! :)
Love ya!
