Allll four kiddos are here for the weekend. Hooray!
There was a big used Scuba equipment sale this morning at Underwater Connection in Menomonee Falls. Unfortunately, Scuba equipment shopping is pretty boring for kids. While we looked at the goods the kids goofed around (as quietly as possible), first inside the store then outside the store […]

We reserved our spots with Horizon Divers after our Pura Vida dives. This time I asked all the right questions:
What type of dives do you do? (Drift diving, anchored to a line, etc.)
What size and type of boat will we be on? (Smaller is typically worse for me)
What is the current expected to be during […]

I got up this morning before sunrise. Let me just say that again, as it happens so infrequently: I got up this morning before sunrise.
Outside there was a beautiful sight. The sun just starting to come up over the ocean. Instead of waking up Michael (another amazing feat - I woke up before Michael) I […]

Michael and I haven’t been diving in awhile. We plan on doing some next week, so we signed up for a refresher tonight. It was in the Schroeder pool at the Y. It was awesome because Owen was able to swim in the deep end while we were getting ready. The lifeguard asked Owen to […]

I worked, worked, worked today. In between all the working, I met Michael and the kids at an optician where Michael was picking out new glasses. He said he wanted my opinion, as I’d be looking at the glasses all the time. I’m glad he asked me to come over there; the kids were picking […]

Tonight’s the first of five pool sessions. The Divemasters sound like they have their act together big time. The class is big - 27 for the Spring.
Interacting with the DMs and students, watching Owen laugh and swim his crazy swim around and around the soon-to-be divers (yet usually staying out of their way), just being […]

It was a sunshiny day and Owen’s on Spring Break. Looking for something to do out of the house today, I decided to take the two of us to Discovery World. Reading up on their fees, it seemed silly to pay their admission fees, as just a few visits in a year (or one with […]

After work today I went to Sam’s Club. When I was in the checkout line, the lady in front of me began talking to me, saying she’d only planned on buying corned beef, but was coming out with a huge load of groceries and other things (her total was over $200).
Then she started raving about […]

After school tonight, Owen and I headed to the Natatorium for the first new Hoofer Scuba pool session. He read his Harry Potter & the Sorceror’s Stone book and played while I helped with shore duties as the first group arrived for class. After everyone was settled and in the pool, Owen got into his […]
