Another Library Program

Yesterday Jenna took 2 friends to another Library program. David Stokes was the guest.

He was a very interesting person to say the least. A very different but likable humor.

We then set out to a local park, had a picnic supper, came back to our house to play and make some fun summer crafts.

Well yes, it is becasue that is how old I am today.

I am still on the downside of 40, but this is the last year.

Happy Birthday to me.

*Summer* and Snacks

Even though I enjoy the warmth of the sun and the kids off of school, I get antsy not having a schedule. I can't get use to have some free time on my hands. I should enjoy it, but honestly I have a hard time with it. I think this summer I will be making some fun *standby* snacks. Last week I made Carmel puff corn.

Last night I made Puppy Chow.

Crap, There goes my diet.............

Noah's Ark

We spent last Saturday at Noah's Ark. Jenna has been dreaming about it for Months now. She is a Black Anaconda Junkie. Loves, loves Loves the ride. We went with my sister's Family and Jenna brought her friend. We promised to bring them their for their birthday's. They also got to get a Black Anaconda Beach Towel.

We spent about 9 hours their going all as many rides as possible. They hit the BA at least 8 times. The weather was warm, not hot, so crowds were minimal. Lucky for us.

Animal Encounters

Jenna and I spent an hour this afternoon at a special program put on by the library. We were one of the lucky people who got tickets to this awesome learning experience.

Dr. Robert James a Zoologist and author goes on the road all over the world and tells about animals. Just from hearing him talk, he is very passionate about what he does.

We got to see a possum, hedgehog, bat, snake, ostrich and alligator.

Summer Camp.....ALREADY?

We are 1 week into Summer Vacation, and We just picked up Samantha from a week of summer Camp. This was her first experience away from home and I think she did great. (I on the other hand missed her very much and couldn't not believe that she was old enough already to go away). But time plays a serious game on you by making your children grow up way to fast. She absolutely loved it. She wants to go back next year.

Her days consisted of ............

Wake up and Breakfast

4 hours of Practice

Lunch

Free time

Supper

3 hours of practice

Free time

Bed

I think she will do awesome at College life, when that day comes.... way too fast.
