Hey!

Only a week has passed ... not too shabby, eh? Life is good, busy, but I'm certainly not going to complain. Cam's birthday party was a success ... kinda nice to know the owners, as we completely took over the skate park.  :) There were about 60 people or so there that showed up, most to skate, others to just, well ... socialize ... if you know what I mean.  :) It was nice having mom and dad here for the weekend, convinced them to stay an extra day, after bribing dad with a steak dinner. It worked. Theresa and the kids came over to swim and play, so it was a nice Sunday afternoon at the Peterson's. Skate park has been busy. working on our Fall Break Camp coming up here in a couple of weeks, helping to sponsor a skate comp, and ordering new product for the shop has been taking up quite a bit of time. We offer a "free" trial lesson for people interested in taking classes, it's a great way for parents to determine if their kids are really going to like it before they spend all the money on reg fees, equipment, tuition, etc. By the end of tomorrow, we'll have had about 12 trials take place this week, and already 7 or so have signed on. This is good. This is what pays the rent people! In the process of potty training our little puppy. She's doing good, but it's taking a little longer than we wanted.  :) She is super sweet, a great mix of a puppy and a kitten. She LOVES to cuddle! Some pics below of Latte:

Busy weekend ahead of us ... finish up some yard work is top on the list, now that our wasp hive is gone. (Bryan sliced one in half while with the hedge trimmers, unknowingly. Needless to say, when you have a swarm of wasps chasing you, and after being stung about 6 times, you tend to just drop what you're doing!) Took care of it, but now we've got the rest of the yard to finish. Have some projects to work on at the shop, and of course, football that must be watched. Is September really about done? Where the heck did it go? Hoping for some cooler weather ... when we still have temps that are reaching 110, it starts to make you a bit angry. We want our "fall" weather! Now! That's it for now ... off to wake up Cam and get to working ... let's get this day started!!!
