July 29, 2008 -- I’ve been very remiss in posting anything new, but I have a good excuse. With Alex in school, he has been monopolizing the Mac in the evenings. The good news is that he gets his school-issue laptop next week, so I’ll have no more excuses. To catch up, Anna led us on an “adventure” to Table Rock Lake for the 4th of July. While out on the boat, bobbing around with friends of our hosts, I noticed a couple of other little girls and pointed them out to Anna. When I looked up at their mother, I found it was my high-school friend, Karen! It was a great trip, and Anna enjoyed the big fireworks display and visiting Bass Pro Shop for a close encounter with a stuffed opossum. This past weekend was Daddy’s birthday. Unfortunately he spent much of it doing homework, so we escaped to give him some undisturbed study time and went to the zoo. We got our first look at her personalized brick that Grandma and Papa ordered for her birthday. It was a great day at the zoo, as the animals were all very active. She even got to see her favorite animal of all, the gorilla, at close range. Three times on the carousel, a trip around the park on the train, and an afternoon wagon ride to Dairy Queen rounded out a perfect day. This month we also took in an outdoor concert at the park amphitheater with the Carrenos. We’re having a fabulous summer!
