Yes, I've been quiet for a couple of days. Not that I don't have anything exciting to share, but reality has set in. No more vacation. Back to the grind. Back to bills, changing diapers, laundry, and decision making.

So what's up with a local carnival charging so much? For the price of the unlimited ride pass for my two girls, we could go to a local amusement park for the entire day. Including the water slides. Grrrr. So we made a decision that they each were allowed to spend $10 ... which amounted to three rides each. They loved it, but of course because their friends had the unlimited ride pass, we saw a lot of tears. They had fun regardless, and are still talking about the ride called "The Tornado". Chloe says "ta-naa-doh", you know, it rymes with tomato.


Last night, while out for a walk with a neighbor, a cat followed us home. Kinda like a puppy. It's a kitten, who continually ran circles around our feet while trying to walk. That is the number one reason I'm not a cat fan! She was cute, and I named her Tripp. My neighbor took her home to feed her, so we'll see if we have a new walking companion tonight!
