So Scott was happy to have a shorter week with Memorial Day off, but he was back to a full week of school afterwards. He was busy taking tests and finishing up projects and homework. He had one more full week of school left before finals. We took a small break to enjoy an end of the year robotics party at his school. We dragged Allison along for high school memories. Mainly we had the opportunity to pick up a new tshirt from the High School Robotics team for Scott. This year they just opted for cookies and punch rather than a dinner buffet(tight budget), And sadly they did not make it to state regionals this year. Scott was really looking forward to the weekend and his annual White Water Rafting trip with the Boy Scouts. He got all his homework done early and was packed and ready to go when he got back from school on Friday.
Allison finished up her presentation with Tom's coworker and was asked to complete revisions. The instructor needed more detail rather than a power point presentation. Allison had an excellent dentist appointment, but needs to plan on getting her wisdom teeth out. Probably before school starts again in the fall. So Allison spent some time visiting with her neighborhood friends during the week and a visit with Tyler before packing up her Girl Scout trunk and heading up to camp early Saturday morning. She had a whole week of training scheduled.
I also had a dentist appointment scheduled. I took off work one morning during the week to finally have my final dental implant placed. I decided to schedule Mom Bozyk for an appointment the same day. She had a cavity that needed to be redone, along with a new crown. Mom took several hours of dental work, but did a wonderful job. We have an extremely patient and excellent dentist that is very good with Mom B. And I was very pleased with my dental implant. It is very odd to have a permanent tooth in place after so many years of a temporary bridge. I also had my end of the year Girl Scout choir performance at a nursing home near the GS headquarters. I even got to sing a solo part! We were short on young girls, so I needed to stand in. After our performance, we had a dinner buffet and meeting. I made a huge serving of chicken nuggets, and the girls all wanted to know what happened to my taquitos! Just can't win. That was ok, more chicken nugget leftovers for Scott.
He was just looking forward to the weekend and our trip to Ohiopyle for the White Water Rafting Trip. Tom and I decided to join Scott for a visit to Pennsylvania but skipped the camping and rafting. The town of Ohiopyle is in the Laurel Highlands south of Pittsburgh. The area is beautiful, with the mountains and river, near Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water's House. Scott loves to paddle the river in his own inflatable kayak. Tom and I enjoy a bike ride along the trail running above the river. We dropped Scott off Friday night and helped him set up his tent. On Friday we had to drop off Cookie for her summer grooming and then to our neighbors for our weekend away. The scouts were up early Saturday morning and on the river by 8am. Tom and I headed to Uniontown and stayed in a Hilton Garden Inn hotel. We were up early Saturday for breakfast and then headed to town for our bike ride. Tom and I rode 10 miles round trip and called it quits. It was very busy in town and a beautiful weekend. We stopped for lunch and then headed back to our hotel. Tom was busy spending his extra time working on his schoolwork online. He had started a whole new class and was extra busy since this is a shorter semester. Scott was done kayaking and had a great time(only fell out a few times on purpose so he could swim in the river). I ended up driving back to Scott's camp with one of the other moms. Her son wasn't feeling well, and she needed to pick him up along with his camping stuff. She was also staying in a nearby hotel. Unfortunately for Scott, her son was scheduled to cook for the patrol, so we passed that job onto Scott. Scott was pretty worn out and ended up climbing into his tent by 7pm. Meanwhile, Tom and I went out to dinner and a movie. We decided to catch Tom Cruise's The Mummy. We enjoyed it and expect there will be several more in a series(if they make enough money off this one). We did not have many options for dinner, but we definitely did not want to visit the local bars being so close to Pittsburgh. There were a lot of Penguin fans in the area enjoying their attempt at the Stanley Cup(and it looked like they were going to get it!).
So on Sunday we packed up early and picked up Scott. We were home early in the afternoon. Just in time for us to pick up Cookie, for me to cut the grass, Scott to study for finals and Tom to pack his suitcase for a trip to San Diego.
