Bummer in the summer dude.

So the day started out well. I was up first, as usual, and the boys and Fred were quick to follow. We all headed downstairs for breakfast and it was yummy and FREE! After breakfast I verified directions and the boys and I headed to Frisco to get Toll Tags and Library Cards. The Toll Tag thing took a little longer than it needed to but was successful in the end. The nice lady helping us had lived in Canton, MI at some point in her life and the gentleman ahead of me in line moved here from Rochester Hills recently. It is a small world. Haven't met anyone who has even heard of State Center yet but I'm still looking.

After the Toll Tag thing we headed to the other end of the building to check out the library. In all of my preparing I forgot the Insurance policy that shows my name and my address and looks official. No library cards without that. UGH! We decided to explore anyway and that may have been a mistake. The second floor is devoted to youth and it was AWESOME. They had lots of series that the boys enjoy and computers and movies and space. It was cool. They really wanted to check out books so I decided to try a plan B. I left them in the kids area and went back to the other end of the building and talked to the utilities office. I had faxed my application a week or more ago and they had me on file. They printed off an account statement, stamped it City of Frisco and back I went. This was official enough and we are now card carrying members of the Frisco Public Library! WhaHoo!

After the boys checked out a few books we headed back to the hotel to have lunch and take daddy to the airport. The gourmet meal of bun length all beef hot dogs was well received and we left here with plenty of time to get Fred there on time. The trip was a bit stressful but I am sure it would have been worse in rush hour. We made it there and back thanks to "Jack" and are ready to do it again tonight to get Dad!

So once we got back I was worn out from the stressful drive so I took a nice nap. Will computed, Nic PS2'd and Pete was a bum. At 4 we had plans to go swimming for a bit, get cleaned up and then attend the Manager's Reception in the lobby. FREE food, beer, wine and fountain drinks. All good in my book! Well, the boys got ready and we headed down to see a cloud on the surface of the pool. I was leery to I checked with the front desk and they sent the maintenance guy out. He said something about it being chlorine, I figured out quickly that he was not the "pool guy" and called for back-up. My sista used to be a pool chick in a former life and so I called for her opinion. Granted she is 800 miles away or something but I consider myself a decent describer of things and I think she got the idea. She suggested that clouds in pools are never good and that we needed to steer clear. I heeded her advice, broke my children's spirit and we headed back upstairs. Bummer in the summer dude.

The good news is that the pool guy comes tomorrow and hopefully tomorrow night after we go on our home inspection it'll be ready for us and not have a sign on it that says "CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!" That would be bad.

So for now we putz until 5:30, go to the reception, come back and putz until 8:30 then head to the airport to get Grandpa. After that our night is done and tomorrow will be a new adventure.
