Wednesday I drove 3 ½ hours back to Castle Rock to meet back up with the girls at my aunt’s along with my grandparents who drove in from Wichita on Monday. While I was gone, Kayla helped McKenna with her school shopping at the Outlet Mall – another successful shopping trip. They also enjoyed riding horses with Tammy.
Thursday, Aug 2 was my birthday and we celebrated the day at the local water park, Water World (http://www.waterworldcolorado.com/pages/newindex.html). The last time we were there the girls were 4 & 7 and McKenna was not very adventurous. This time I had a hard time keeping up with them! We had great weather and fairly short lines making for a great day of water fun with the family.
Today (Friday) we are hanging out at the house, playing my grandparents favorite game, Skip Bo, and getting packed up for our flight to New York City Sat morning. Tammy is coming with the girls & I for 3 ½ days in the city – should be an adventure! Grandma and I spent several hours today sorting through family genealogy information, old photos and dates and we got a lot of information pulled together going as far back as my great great great maternal grandparents. I also have a lot of homework to put all the data into something that makes sense before she & Grandpa go to Arkansas for the family reunion in September. They’ll be able to fill in information gaps from the extended family since many of them still live in the Arkansas area where much of our family is from. Grandma has also taken photos of gravestones in the family cemeteries in Cord, Arkansas to capture additional dates and names. It’s a fun scavenger hunt!
