Last Sunday we picked up my son and traveled back home. I still hate that trip! His mother did make it easier by taking him to a lake about a third of the way towards our house so that the trip was much shorter than the usual five hours. Monday we played, but Tuesday thru Thursday he was in "Summer Camp" at Gymboree for three hours each day. He is also signed up for Tae Kwon Do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A nice full week! Gives me and Mary lots of time while he is getting worn out.  He was great all week, until Thursday. Then he was fussing at Camp and when we picked him up he knocked his coloring sheet out of Mary's hand! He threw a fit all the way home! Crying, whining, fussing, all most cussing... He told us he hates rules, he hates having parents and wants to live by himself. I think he is turning into a teenager! 4 going on 14! I am scared! However, he has been very excited because Friday we drove to Kansas City to see the Walking With the Dinosaurs and eat at the T-Rex Cafe. Wow! This is a really cool Cafe! Animatronic dinos all over, a Build-a-Dino Workshop, a sandbox with Dino-Bones to dig up... All kinds of Dino stuff. It was so cool! We ate dinner there Friday night when we got in and we were all kind of pumped up for the Walk With the Dinos Saturday morning. The Walk was way cool! If any of you get a chance, go see it! Those dinos look so real! We had front row, almost center seats and WOW! I thought the dinos might bite us! Or lick us, in the case of the herbivores.  I am not going into details so that people can see it themselves. You HAVE to! Don't worry about taking kids, a large number of couples were there as couples. What a great date Better than a regular movie. However, after the Walking, we ate lunch back at the Cafe, returned to our hotel and decided that the room was just not comfortable enough to stay in another night. Not a bad room, but hard beds and a four year old who now cranky after all the adrenalin from the planned events was wearing off. So, we drove back home tonight, ate and tucked in for bed. The Croc Hunter had napped in the car for a couple of hours and fought sleep for a couple of hours here, but I was insisting and refused to let him get up. Mary snuggled right in a passed out reading her book, then the cat jumped on her, so she finished the last few pages and went to sleep for real. I decided that I am still a little hyper from the caffeinated drive and so I am writing about it Besides, we both miss you guys! And gals! In other news, Mary's computer is still acting up and she has ordered a new one. She returns to work full time on Monday and is feeling much better. I had a root canal on Wednesday and on Friday I caught some chicken in the stitches and ripped them loose while trying to get it out. After a few hours of feeling the silly thing flop back and forth in my mouth, I pulled it out. I'll let Mary tell you more. Her stupid cat did something that you will want to hear about! Cats are stupid! Have a great week! |
