September 1st, yep, missed August

Oh geeze, here goes another month gone by and I didn't update the blog. Rhonda, thanks for the note about this, it pushes me to do it!!

What have we done since last time. Well, we went to Chicago for a visit over the 4th of July, stayed with Sue's parents at the Lake, always a good time, especially when the boat and waverunners are working right. No accidents or trips to the ER this year, thank you Sue for staying on your feet and not hitting your head. Got to visit with some old friends from Crystal Lake, went out there for a day and drove around the area, my how the area has changed. Still don't miss it though, miss the friends, just not the area or the humidity.

Didn't partake in a Cubs game this year - They suck, why waste the money.

Drove down to IN to spend a few days with my family. Took the kids on Sugar Creek, went tubing, remember kids, it's dangerous, no tying the tubes together hahahahahah dangerous, tube down the Provo River with us sometimes, that's danger, Sugar Creek was a baby compared to the Provo. Anyway, had a good visit with parents. Sad to see them getting older, each and every one of them, our kids def. need to spend more time with them.

Bought Ali a car from our friends Jay/Dalisa, drove it back to Utah, Travis and Justin pretty much spent the entire 24 hours in it. All is well, she'll have her license here in 23 days, look out. Justin will have his Learners permit here in 1 week from today, then all of the Meihls Clan will be legal to drive :) pheww.

Sue, Justin and I went backpacking back to Notch lake again this year. Seems like an annual trip now, however next time we want to try some place different. Spent 2 nights in the wilderness, no animals that we heard or saw :( Pic shows Justin and Sue pumping our daily water.

Kids all started back to school last week, all looks well there. Ali didn't try back out for Volleyball as she wants to focus on studies right now, from what I hear, she does want to try out for Basketball so time to hit the courts with her. Justin will try back out for Lacrosse this coming Spring, nothing on his plans right now.

I started back to work at Snowbird a week or so ago, working the parking lot for Oktoberfest, damn i love that area.....one of my first days back I got to work when the Tour of Utah was finishing, Justin is into cycling, he got to meet Levi Leipheimer Tour De France 13th place finisher this year, if you're not familiar with him, he was Lance's right hand man for a while. anyway, he raced and won the Tour of Utah, pic is attached as well.

That's about it for now I believe. More to come, stay in touch.
