Brekke Life: July 2008

This weekend brought some car troubles, chaos and A LOT of fun! We headed up to pine city on wednesday to visit the parentals for a couple days. We got to see one of Trent's summer leaugue games, he did awesome as always! Friday was the big Fischer side picnic, it was so much fun to see everyone and take in what a beautiful day it was...the food was amazing and playing croquet, ladderball, swimming and frisbee were some of the highlights. We headed out early afternoon to get to Fergus in time for festivities there! We got there just in time to get on Super Mable...the three person tube that's mission is to KILL our muscles! It was very fun, all except that our car started to overheat when we got to fergus. We had a great time with all the Borowskis/Lewises! Saturday brought more fun on good ol Super Mable as well as some wakeboarding by some (not me....too many past injuries that still haunt me!) Sunday was the highlight of the trip...baby Ty's baptism! He was such a good little boy as always! Borowskis had burgers on the grill and everyone came out to their house for more fun on the lake! Monday we brought our car into the shop and they broke the news that it was going to be a big job, and it wouldn't make it back to the cities without a fix. They were worried about it being the headgasket. So Tuesday I met Tim with Scott so that he could work on Wednesday, we got to spend some time out on the farm with Grandpa and Grandma playing jarts and golf, it was great to be able to see them for a while too! Wednesday I hung out with gram and gramps until the car was ready to be picked up, it ran like a champ and was a lot smaller of a job than they thought! Who ever would have thought we would be happy to hear that the job wa "only" $550?

Special thanks to everyone who let us bunk up and help with our car situation...There's a lot worse places to be stranded...especially when little mr. Ty is in the picture!
