I would never have quessed that after 8 days I would really not be ready to send the kids back home! I completely broke down after they were back on the plane and on the way back to their parents. There is obviously something wrong with me (and those of you thay know me too well can keep your snarkey comments to yourselves!)
It was such a busy week, most of it even went according to plan! We went to Knott's Berry Farm - the O.C. Fair - the movies with thier cousin (Valen), took Kajah to see "Wicked" (Her first stage musical!), and even managed to get in a portrait setting with all four of the grandkids!
If you asked them their favorite thing we did all week, it was the fair - we had a GREAT time! Fair food (highly reccomend the Totally Fried Oreo's!) - the exhibits (I could spend all day in the Visual Arts Bldg looking at the photography), and of course the carnival rides (thank goodness for unlimited ride wristbands on Tuesdays and Wednesday for $20!)! We had perfect weather and I was so thrilled to have both Denny and my BF Janine there too! Denny and Cory kept the kids over the carnival area so Janine and I could go explore the exhibits for awhile and then we releived them (Den and Cory left around 3:30) and had them the rest of the day - we did not leave the fair until 8:30 that night!
The other excitment we had was Cory, the kids and I were all at Knott's Berry Farm when the Chino Hills earthquake hit @ 11:42 am on the 29th! Ty and Kajah had never been in an earthquake before. Cory and Ty were strapped into "Ghost Rider" (the large wooden rollercoaster) and seconds away from leaving the platform when it hit - scared poor Ty who was really not all that keen about going on the coaster anyway! It would not have been that bad if they then did not have to shut down every ride in the park for over an hour - children get very bored very quickly when they percieve "There is nothing to do!"
The week went by very quickly and I hope we get to do this again next summer!

Hi sis,
You know I don't agree with you often, but I do agree there is something wrong with you. I am sure Wayne and Dad would agree with me. I like the blog and will definitely be reading it. So glad to see you and Denny are doing good and grandkids are beautiful. I know very well how much they mean to you.
Love you guys,
Butch and Diane
