Monday was a quiet day for Wendy and me. The morning was punctuated by the JPs arrival and their getting settled in (including getting Justin's boat in the water). By the time that was accomplished, it was lunch time, then nap time. I had a killer headache, so Wendy and I stayed in to nap and read while the others went for an afternoon spin on the boat.

Yesterday, we headed over to the pool and lazy river for some water and sun. I sat in the innertube and floated along the lazy river reading the book Taylor gave me for Christmas. We grabbed sandwiches back at the house and peeked in on the French Open, then Wendy and I headed to the stables for a horseback ride. I haven't been on a horse for years, and it was a lot of fun – even if it was a fairly boring ride (no trotting, galloping or running – just a lazy, single-file walk through the woods).

The late afternoon was all fun in the lake. I tried skiing for the first time in many years (and have the soar muscles to prove it) and got up on the first try! We played on a rope swing and swam around the boat until we were all tired from sun and water and activity.

A nice evening of burgers on the grill, keeping our eye on the Cubs' game (they lost in extra innings), and a game of Apples-to-Apples. Got to bed late (1 a.m.) and were awakened before 7 a.m. by the pounding of two-year-old feet jumping and running on the floor above us.
