Week 155: Swim for it

OK, you guys, the Olympics are on.  I'm a competition junkie and a total sucker for NBC's little strategy of "If you just stay tuned for the next 20 minutes of commercials, we'll watch an amazing 54-second swimming race!"  So, this week's post will be short and sweet.  We were on vacation anyhow so not much happened.  Our little trip to Lake Geneva was awesome, the kids loved it, and it wore them out such that they fell asleep in the car on the way home in the amount of time it took me to pull around from our room to the front entrance of the hotel so Papa Bear could check out.  Lime got a little sick at the end of the trip but he seems to have shaken it off now.  Our few days off at home were nice too.  Papa Bear and I went to the movies together for the first time in 2.5 years.  Star Trek did not disappoint.  This weekend, we went to the annual Mustard Festival, where Papa Bear declined to taste this year's signature frozen custard flavor (chocolate mustard cherry) because he does not like cherries.  You can't make this stuff up!  Back at you next week with a more substantive post, unless there are conflicting track and field finals...
