Lazy Saturday

Saturday was a good relaxing day for Christie and I though it didn't start out that way. I started the day by watching Tairia and the USA Softball team kick the Dominican Republic's BOOTAY with a final score of 9 - 0. I stayed as quiet as I could so Christie could keep sleeping, we didn't get to bed the night before until 2 a.m. on account of seeing the late show of Harry Potter. (By the way the new Harry Potter movie is GREAT.) So I was watching softball and Christie was sleeping. I had made plans earlier in the week for us to go play volleyball up at Sandy Pointe, a little state park by the Lucky Peak reservoir just outside of Boise. So I woke Christie up at noon, which is early for her since we didn't get to bed until 2, so with only 10 hours of sleep she was a little cranky and I felt bad for not letting her sleep. But we got on our way with a little help from Starbucks and alot of apologies from me. We got up to Sandy Pointe and apparently it is JUST out of cell phone range, so not seeing our friends Terry and Amanda Dumont we drove down a little ways until we got cell phone service again and I called Terry. They were just about to leave their house to go up to Sandy Pointe, they had gotten held up at the bank for quite some time which I do not envy them for. By this time it was 2 o'clock and we were all supposed to meet at 1 at Sandy Pointe, and since Christie and I had a previous engagement later that day at 5 we decided to bow out of playing volleyball and go home and relax until we had to get ready for dinner. Well just as we were almost home we got a call cancelling our dinner so with no other plans we went to Target to see about getting som lawn chairs so we could layout in the back yard and get some sun. Unfortunately lawn chairs are made of gold or some other precious metal and the prices reflected that so we decided against that, but we did see a hammock with stand at %50 off so we got one of those, and I am glad we did. We got home, we put the hammock together and then Christie layed in it in her swimsuit with the sprinkler going under her to keep her cool due to the 100+ temperature. She layed in the hammock, I layed on a towel in the grass and I read while she listened to a book on cd. It was very relaxing and I thoroughly enjoyed relaxing together, getting some sun and not worrying about a thing. Apparently though Christie enjoyed the Hammock a little too long and she got SUN BURNED. I feel bad because she is in pain but it does look kind of funny with just the front of her red and the sides and back white. I don't think we will be enjoying the relaxation of our new hammock today but maybe again next weekend after her pain has alleviated. But that was our Lazy Saturday and hopefully we get to do it several more times this year.
