The results are in..

from Columbus that is! We had a full weekend with the Special Olympics and everything that goes with it. The entire team did fairly well. I am not sure how all the trackers, bowlers, and weightlifters did, but the tennis team came home with.... two forth place ribbons, three fifth place ribbons, a silver in unified doubles, a bronze in singles (which was a first medal for the young man and his first year at tennis), a bronze in doubles. Matthew ended being the in top division this year, so the game were much different and he had to really work for the placements that he got. Matthew was please with himself and walked away proud because he knew he was in a harder division.

The weekend all in all was nice, despite sleeping in a hot dorm on the back side of the OSU campus and it is not close to anything. Thank goodness Wayne was there to transport us around because if we had to walk the kids would have been to tired to compete in anything.

Monday was back to work and back to daily schedules. Tuesday evening was fun for us all in the Lashley and Lingenhoel homes. My Grandparents won a ride on the Goodyear blimp last year and they finally got around to going on it. Well they called and said they you can bring two other persons with you, so Matt and I got to go on the ride as well, but when we got there my parents were able to go as well because the lift was good and it was a clear day. We actually were able to see Cleveland from way up there, that was neat. I wish that I had a digi camera then I would post picture for you to see. It was a trip that I will never forget.

Did you know that one you are up in the air 1000 feet and with 6 people and the pilot you only weigh 50 pounds?
Did you know that they take off and land on one tire?
Did you know that they only way the drive the blimp is by a wheel that looks like at wheelchair wheel?

Yep, I learned a lot.

This weekend the family is having friends in from Illinois so we are excited about that, it's been a year since we have seen them. They will be here through the 4th and beyond a week yet.

Have a safe 4th of July.
