Summer has started ...





Sorry it took me a whole week to update. Sarah had a good awards day as well. She got second place in the Spelling Bee and got a trophy. She also got an award for Honor Roll. This is her first year to not get Principal's club (all A's), but that darn math got her. I told her she still did really well and we were very proud of her too. We left Wednesday afternoon after awards.

Sarah, Almira and I headed to Choctaw, MS and went to the big water park on Thursday. I did something I've never done before, I rented a cabana at the water park and it was wonderful. We got there Wednesday night, had dinner and walked around the hotel. Then Thursday morning got up had breakfast and headed to the water park at 10AM. We opened it up that morning. By 10:30 we were in our cabana and the girls left me to do the park. They were back by 11:45 and had rode everything. I loved the cabana. It was covered, with a ceiling fan, a couch and two chairs. The couch was really comfortable and was out over the water of a big zero entry swimming pool. I sat and read most of the morning. I had packed a swimsuit and at lunch went and put my suit on. After lunch I went and hit the water slides with the girls. It really was fun and I had not done that in a long time.

It was not a huge park, but the slides were really good, there was a lazy river and lots of fun stuff. Here is the link in case anyone wants to try it. http://www.geyserfalls.com/

I would love to go to Schlitterbahn, but that is so far away in New Braunsfels, TX, which would probably be 6 to 8 hours away. Maybe one day we can make that trip.

Summer has started and the girls are doing kitten baby sitting. They are six weeks old now and growing. We got two more last week. On Tuesday morning after Almira's awards day a lady came to me and said the last two kittens were outside with their mom (the wild kitty at work). We waited until the afternoon and another lady here at work and I caught them and she took them home. We knew this was our last chance to prevent 2 more wild kitties here in front of our building. There was a little boy and a little girl.

It is so much fun watching all 4 of the kittens playing, jumping, hiding and attacking each other. They are just adorable, but we can't keep all these kittens. I have one lady coming today to look at one of them, but I don't know what I'm going to do with the last 3. I don't want to take them to a shelter, it would break my heart. Thank goodness I have a husband with a big soft heart who wants to take care of them. He has fallen for the little boy kitten.

I'll post some pictures soon.
