Monday 5~~~~~Today is our day off, Kent drove to Portland to have lunch with his daughter Dee Dee and I took my daughter Lisa out for a very late birthday lunch. We have both been so busy and today we finally got together, I did some fast gift shopping on the way to lunch, Lisa and Gene have finally moved into the new addition they built onto their house and we had a great time together catching up on all that is new. After lunch, Tress dropped off Bodie and Blaize at my house because she had to go over to a girl friends house and teach her how to can tomatoes. We played in the back yard with water guns that they brought over. I got 2 guns and they each had one, as I knew they would both get me real good and I needed more water to protect my self. Next we went in the house and had ice cream and we watched a movie before heading over to Grandma Jean Marie's house to use her beauty salon to give Bodie his back to school hair cut he needed so badly. My hair clippers and tools are up at the park in the trailer, so I used her salon. After we did this, I took the kids home and I met Kent at the restaurant where we went for fish and chips for dinner. It was a busy day and I did no cooking, we ate out for lunch and dinner. Tuesday 6~~~~After our morning coffee and a good movie, Kent and I drove to Costco and picked up a few groceries and had lunch. Kent's daughter Cindy and his grandson Brandon called about 4 PM, they were on their way home to Portland after spending 2 days in Eugene getting Brandon enrolled in college and set up in his apartment. We met them at Applebees where they ate dinner and we heard all about what they did in Eugene. I didn't eat because I was having dinner with Tress and the kids before we go to the open house at the new school that Bodie and Blaize will be attending this year. I was so excited that I could go see the school and help Tress with the kids while she talked to some of the teachers. It is a new Charter school close to my house that just opened this year. The school Bodie has been going to has not passed the state requirements the five years that Blodie has gone there. We are really excited for them to be in this new school, everything is all new and and it is not run by the state. The open house was real nice and both kids are real excited about going there, all the kids who are going there are in the same boat, they too have left their friends to go to a new and better school. Tomorrow is the first day of school and I am so anxious to hear how both of them did their first day. Wednesday 7~~~~~Tress called me this morning after they took the kids to school, she said Bodie didn't want them to walk in the school with him and Blaize, was so excited to be there she didn't need them either, she was a big girl. Cory had never seen the new school, so they of course went to both of their class rooms to check it out. We called them about 4 PM today to talk to both of them about their first day at school and they both had a great day with no problems. We are back at the park and it is pretty quiet here. Three of the host couples have already left to go back home, we will be staying until the end of the month it looks like as we still haven't heard about our tickets to the hot air balloon in New Mexico. The same little girl that got lost on Sunday with the polka dot shirt and pink helmet was lost again on Monday while we were off work. I think her parents need a class in watching their children.
