I had the best dream. I dreamt that a million aliens landed on earth close to a cabin where Carl and I were vacationing. We had all sorts of firearms upon which we used to defend ourselves against these beasts. They were a cross between Kangaroos and Giant Toads and some were a cross between Rhinocerous and Tyranasarous Rex's. They were huge and we were having a bloodbath. It reminded me of a Sci-Fi movie. I woke up at 5:30 in the middle of a battle. I wanted to go back to sleep, but ended up getting up for the beloved swim this morning. The pool was hotter than normal today!

Elayna said she didn't have much energy, and neither did I, but I still wanted to get in at least 1 mile. Need to stretch out my chest since lifting bench and flys yesterday for lunch. Today's lunch break will be spent at a meeting discussing quality so I won't be able to lift even if I wanted to. Lows are having a party tonight for Bill's Jr's Birthday. Fun to have a date with Cathi for free every once in a while.

Yesterday was President's day so we took the kids to the Bubble to swim. They had alot of fun. Talk about Deja Vu with Isaac in the pool. It reminded me of the days with Austin at Deseret Gym when he was just a little thing. We had alot of fun and Lucy totally enjoyed it. Afterwards we went to McDonald's for dinner. The kids had fun in the playland and I was losing my temper because it was crowded as Hell and the place was a total mess. I talked Cathi into letting me take Austin to Lord of the Rings - Return of the King. Austin and I had a good time and he enjoyed the movie. This morning was very difficult to drive to SLC for a workout but I did it. Here it is:
