Chicken Rush

Not too much to speak of here since Mom and Trish left. We've been snorkeling and diving a bit, and otherwise life as usual. We finally made it to the batting cages that we've wondered about since we moved here. It was Nate's first time batting! I didn't know that is was possible to be 39 years old and have never been to a batting cage!

Nate did great! We chose the slowest pitches to start off, 80 km/h. He did almost as good as Kris did. Next time we'll do the 90 km/h pitches and work our way up to the 125 km/h.



A couple of weeks ago, Nate had a toe infection. Unfortunately we didn't get a photo, but it was pretty gross. It was caused by an ingrown toenail after he stubbed his toe walking through a river. Antibiotics cleared up the infection and he had a wire installed to correct the growth of the nail today. It is totally painless, but has to stay until his nail grows out, probably 2-3 months. Hopefully it will work!



In other news, we spotted this exciting new cup of soup at the supermarket today. It's a chicken rush! Not sure what that means, but we'll find out soon.



Kris goes on a research cruise on Sunday for 5 days. The cruise sends a remotely operated vehicle to the deep sea to collect samples, so it should be pretty interesting!
