Summer is alive and well!

Before I share about our weekend, I want to give you an update of the world's unluckiest air passenger!
As you know, my mother left us on Monday morning to start her 44 hour trek back to South Africa. She left Cleveland without any hassles on her first flight to Columbus. However, the flight she was supposed to board from Columbus to Washington DC did not arrive on time, due to severe thunderstorms in the Chicago area, it's origin. The gate agents recommended that my mom catch another two flights to guarantee her arrival in Washington DC, so reluctantly, my mother flew into New York City, and then finally into Washington DC! Unfortunately, her suitcase did not make it to Washington DC in time for her transatlantic flight!!! So she boarded the flight to London, knowing that her suitcase was lost in the USA. To make a long story short, her suitcase was found and finally delivered to her home in South Africa on Friday, but a gift she bought my sister in the USA, was missing :( Moral of the story: Don't go overseas with my mother :)

As for the McCarthy family, we spent a lot of times outdoors and in the pool this weekend. With temperatures in the 90s (33C+).  We did the healthy thing first thing on Saturday morning, and went to the gym for a workout.  The rest of the day we spent at home. That afternoon we all lent a hand in washing our cars, then jumped in the pool again, before I got out to grill some hamburgers for dinner!

On Sunday morning, we tried out a different church, which the boys seemed to enjoy. I enjoyed the worship and the two girls on the worship team had stunning voices. Later that afternoon, the boys headed to the pool again before dinner. After dinner, we had planned out family fun event for the weekend, which was going on a bicycle ride with our good friends, the Bosley's. We headed to the Westlake Recreation center and did a couple of laps around the facility. Afterward we stopped at an ice cream store and enjoyed a few bowl's of ice cream together! It was such a stunning evening as we sat outside enjoying our frozen treats, with the temperature still above 85 (30C) at 9pm!

And that was another weekend where we were blessed with stunning summer weather! Tomorrow evening I will be playing in the finals of our 4-person sand volleyball league, and the temperature again is expected to be above 90 degrees (33C+)!!! Bring it on!
