Over the weekend Kristin and I visited Mom. Kristin had quite an adventure--she has become "nature girl"--she's all about bugs, worms, anything wiggly or gross. Well, Mom lives out in the country so Kristin spent Saturday hunting for bugs and she found some pretty neat stuff. First she found a turtle that hangs out around the house. Kristin wanted to keep it, but I talked her out of it by telling her the turtle wanted to go home to be with its family. Then she found a frog and an assortment of bugs. Sunday morning while we were sitting on the back porch we found a really strange big green bug. Kristin loved it, of course and had to play with it. I'm not squemish around bugs so I have to admit that I had fun too. Kristin brought home some "treasures" to share with her friends today at school--a hawk feather, a blue jay feather and some pine cones. There's nothing like exploring in your big backyard!!!!
We had a good 4th of July. Chris had to work noon-5 so Kristin and I spent pretty much the entire day in the pool. We were both worn out by the time Chris got home. Later that night we went to sonic for slushes and ice cream then went to watch the fireworks. We discovered that the Lowe's parking lot is the perfect place to see the fireworks....close to the airport with a good view but without all the traffic to fight on the way home.
Only 4 weeks until Kristin starts school. I can't believe how fast this summer is going by. We are so busy at school with the summer preschool and school-age programs. We do have fewer kids in the summer so it's a nice break even though money is a little tighter. However we will be back to full enrollment come August.
Hope everyone is having a great summer!
