"I thought it would be a dull afternoon . . . "

"I thought it would be a dull afternoon until Grandpa asked me to go night crawler hunting and had to have his car towed from a ditch!" said Cam on the phone when he called me from the golf course.  With all of the rain the golf courses were closed for the day and my Dad decided to take Cameron night crawler hunting at Maxwelton.  Cameron suggested parking at the clubhouse and walking, but by Dad was sure that he could just park along #10 and they would be fine.  After Cameron got to the pond the car started sliding into the ditch and Dad couldn't get it out.  Cam said that five people stopped by to help, but it needed a tow truck.  After 45 minutes and 34 night crawlers they were on their way.  Meg and I made sure to drive by several times honking and laughing once we made sure they were all ok.  As Cam said later - "There is no dull day with Grandpa."

The day did start off dull with a severe storm in the morning, but after lunch the sun came out and the rest of the day was a good one.  Jayce and Alex were over for part of the afternoon.  They decided to go play at Wawasee around 2 p.m.  Cal went to tennis at West Noble once they were done.  The truck isn't working right now and he's been borrowing Mom's van while we wait for Monteith to let us know what is wrong.

Meg and I met Doug at 7 on 7.  She had a lot of fun playing tonight.  The teams were pretty evenly matched, so the games were a lot more competitive.  Doug only had 9 girls for the game, so Meg was one who substituted in various positions during the game.  She had several shots on goal and scored twice.  She was happy with that performance.  

An evening storm hit again once we got home.  It was more powerful than this morning although we did lose a big limb earlier.  It was over by midnight and looks like it might be a beautiful day tomorrow.  That would be very nice after all of the rain!
