Well, as usual plans change. Because Beth and Lil missed the Water Park at Six Flags, they've opted to go to Holiday World/Surfin' Safaari in Southern Indiana instead of going to Chicago before school starts. (See where we're going: http://www.holidayworld.com/.)The girls school registration is August 10-11. Then, school starts on August 24 here...early!
Jim has spine surgery in Springfield scheduled on August 14. A dear friend from Steeleville will be staying in the house during that week to be with Beth and Lil, and of course, to be sure the animals are well taken care of.
Next week, the girls are off to the Christian Athletes Day Camp for three days. Last year both of them earned performance medals. This year they are participating in soccer, volleyball and cheerleading. (For more info, go to http://www.sifca.org/.)
All that activity will make Holiday World a welcome treat. There are sure to be lots of pictures on our upcoming posts.
Right now, the girls have revived their passion for Pokemon Trading Cards. It's hard to believe that there's such an obsession over these things. Besides having the entire den floor covered in cards, our watching list (not to mention the bidding list!) on eBay is jammed with them. The only thing I won't allow is anyone to place a bid, unless I do it for them. We're already getting carried away. It probably won't break us, though...at $.01 to $.50 each, their allowances handle most of the choices.
Gotta go...everyone is clammoring to get on the computer. Guess we've finally reached the stage where another computer is warranted.
