The rest of the story

There is a little more to the basketball hoop recovery mission that we went on. Lance has been wanting to shoot some hoops for a while. The last time they were here before we moved he dug out a basketball but it was flat and we couldn't find a pump for it. So now 3 months later he looked for 2 days before he found the basketballs. Of course they were still flat. I actually found a needle to blow them up before we found the little compressor. So now he had an inflated ball and concrete but no hoop. I tried to get him to use a box. (A peach basket worked for James A. Naismith when he invented b-ball). Lance didn't go for that. So the search for the basket was just the end to quite an adventure.

Thanks to Lance my house is now my home. There were basketballs, volleyballs, tennis rackets and tennis balls and footballs and soccer balls and softballs and gloves and baseballs strewn all through my house. Isaac got his 1st tennis lesson in my front room. He won't get many more lessons in my house........Lance.

I was able to spend the last 1 1/2 weeks with Lance, Molly and the boys. We are all tired. But we had lots of fun. I'll mention just a couple of highlights now. Yes, there will be more to come with pictures.

We went to the Hogle Zoo. It was lots of fun but those animals can be very scary. The 1st animals we came to was the elephants. We could hear a fake elephant making whatever noises elephants are supposed to make. There was a statue thing of an elephant. Molly took Isaac over to look at the elephant. Unknown to Molly that "statue" was the source of the elephant noise and it was motion activated. Poor little Isaac got so scared. It took quite some convincing after that to get him to look at the live elephants after that. Molly was telling her YW today that they had gone to the zoo. So one of the girls asked Isaac what he saw at the zoo. He thought for a minute and then he said, " Scary elephant". I don't think elephants are his favorite animal anymore.

Lance and Molly stayed in Elko longer than they had planned to. They went home to dead fishies. (They have a few feeder fish). The story went something like this. They told Isaac that the fish had died and they were in heaven. And Isaac said "fishies heaven Jami". I hope Jami takes good care of Isaac's fishies.
