We, tree frogs and rain...

So apparently I am not allowed to have a bright sunny summer. I left the west coast having sat thru one of the coldest Junes on record heading to what is usually a hot and humid Ohio. I'll give you the humid. The sun pokes through clouds with the days being broken up by rain storms. But it hasn't been 90s and sunshine like it was a few weeks ago. I like rain storms but I would appreciate them a little more if there were thunder too - just to make it a bit more interesting.

There great little tree frogs at my parents house, where I am staying, that remind me so much of growing up. There is a pond in the woods where the bullfrogs reign and between the two it is quite an orchestra. There are also mosquitoes to boot.

Last night, we played wii blowing. I have been able to beat most of my family at this game - usually because I show up from the airport at midnight and they're rather intoxicated. Warbie (mom) beat me the first few games before Pere (dad) joined us. He knew all of these tricks to get the wii people (who have no arms but bowl) to jump up when you dropped the ball or dance around. Warbie had made Wii characters that looked much like us. Pere bowled a ridiculous 200, with me falling into the middle at 170 and Warbie trailing somewhere behind. It was a lot of fun and was much like playing board games as a kids. I am not nearly as good of a bowler in real life. My fingers are long so to find a ball that fits them I have to pick up like a 14 lb ball with I can't really control. If I get a 10 lb ball which I can handle, I can't get my fingers in comfortably and thus, I can't control the ball. It's probably better to stick to Wii.
