Alright, let’s catch up from the last blog. Probably every little girl likes the Jonas Brothers so I had a friend of mine hook us up with tickets when they were in Charlotte. I took Jessie and some of her friends and a couple of her friends’ dads that are friends of mine, Hans DeBot and Michael Waltrip. We all took our daughters and they had a fun time, us guys actually had fun, too. It was fun just hanging around and talking with my buddies, we had a good time. I’ve been doing a lot with Jessie, just the normal stuff I do with her all the time like going to dinner. I like doing stuff that she likes.
One of the other things that happened lately is that my two nieces, Tiffany and Catherine, came to visit last week. Jessie spent the week with me; she loves Tiffany and Catherine so that worked out great. Jessie has been telling me for a long time that she wants to go swim with dolphins so we decided to do that. Ginger helped us find a place in the Keys where you go swim with the dolphins so I took Tiffany and Catherine and we went and swam with the dolphins. We just had a ball, it was really really fun. They are neat animals. They’re really smart. That was pretty fun even though it was just a one day trip.
So we slept in a little bit the next day and then I sent Catherine, Tiffany and Jessie to the spa for a few hours while I had to go to the office and get some work done. After they got done at the spa, I came home from work and we went out and played on the lake. Madeline came over and we just had a fun time on the lake, swimming and stuff. That night we went to the Japanese steakhouse -- Jessie’s favorite place to eat -- so we took Catherine and Tiffany over there and just had a fun time. Jessie got a picture with her favorite chef she likes so much.
So after that it was time to get going and fly up to Brainerd. I gave Sara a little flying lesson on the way up and we had fun with the fans in Brainerd, “don’t ya know.” I went out there and visited the Zoo campground. The fans at Brainerd are some of the most dedicated that there are. Well that’s pretty much it; I’ll try to catch up again soon….
