Back and bustlin

Ah, I'm finally home. My dad worked until 1:30 on Friday, July 4th and so my mom picked him up from work and they came up and got me. They are busy around the house, so we didn't stay longer than 15 minutes once they got there. We drove back into town and stopped at Applebee's in Longmont for dinner.We got to the house somewhere between 9 and 10. I unpacked my stuff and went to bed. Saturday was full of errands. We had to go to the store and get groceries. After that, we had to go to my grandparents to 1) return some of their stuff that we borrowed and 2) to give them more stuff for the June's new room. Once we got home, we had to do some yard work. There was wood to cut and stack, weeds to pull, and stuff to rake/sweep. We finished and headed over to King Soopers to pick up a few things we didn't get earlier.
After dinner, Mom pulled out our new Wii Fit and did her daily body test and training. After she was done showing me and doing her activities, she had me create a Mii and start my own profile. I did some activities Saturday night and tonight. Some of those training exercises are really funny, especially considering my weight. I don't weigh enough for the Wii Fit Board to register some of my movements, which as you can imagine leads to quite a few hilarious "complications".
While I was away, Dad swapped my computer again. Today we realized that life wasn't going to let us shortcut by just having me uninstall what I didn't want and going from there. No, we had to wipe out the system and reformat EVERYTHING. I just got my computer up and running a couple of hours ago. I now have to reinstall all of the programs I want back on my computer and replenish things like my picture and music files.
This morning Dylan and I played a couple of games on the Wii, specifically Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. That was pretty fun. I also finished up various other games I had left hanging. I had been planning on going to this picnic and water sports thing at my church, but I was too tired this morning and Mom had plans I knew she would like to go to instead. So, I sat the event out. Or so I thought. I received a call around noon. It was my cousin asking if we wanted her to come get us. I said sure, if she wanted to. So we went. We came. We played. We got soaked to the bone. It was a blast.
After we had dried some-what, my cousins and I headed over to my house. We grabbed some of those Fruitista Freezes from Taco Hell on the way. We played Wii games at my house for a couple of hours. They are actually going to spend the night tomorrow night because my cousin Dani doesn't have to work on Tuesday. They just left and so I'm now getting to my computer errands/tasks.
Well, it's great to be home and I'm enjoying my free time at the moment.
