Dylan got his wisdom teeth out today. He was still kinda spacey on the way home but he wanted to talk. I kept telling him that they said that he shouldn't talk (because they wanted him biting down on the gauze to stop the bleeding). Finally I gave him some paper and a pen.

Took Bryce back to his dad and Granny today... Had dinner with Dick's
brother Joe and his wife Cathy... Now we have no social obligations until
we head back to Illinois on the 10th! Just me and Dick and Adam and the
Blues Brothers!

Today, my Cub Scout Pack was presented with an award by the Mayor/Wizard, for having the best youth group/organization float in the parade this year. Good job, boys!

Today was our last day in Florida. We spent the day with Joe's mom. James liked playing with the pots and pans. He pretended they were drums then later on he played on real drums and loved it. Then at 7 off we went.

Farrell making popcorn. Had my hopes up and then the machine wouldn't work. So we had microwave. May be next time.

OK, I just got Adam a new phone and took the Blackberry that I got him for his birthday, so now I have a camera from this century. I'll try to get back into this...

Yesterday Adam, Bryce and I went to the Colorado Renaissance Festival. Here is Adam, Bryce and two small princesses on an elephant.

And Bryce on a camel...

Didn't get a picture of the poor Grandma's swollen feet... [lucky you!]

We've had one or two tomatoes getting ripe every couple of days. But, there are dozens & dozens of green ones like this. I'm afraid they're all going to turn red on the same day or just before we leave for vacation!

I just spent WAYYYYYYY too much time trying to make this work so the Gabby & Jesse can get the internet. It STILL doesn't work!!! ARRRRGGHH!!!

We went on a bike ride today. Stopped at Red Oak nature center to see the cave and do a little exploring.

Today was our last day at the resort so we woke up early and went to the pool. Then we went to Epcot. Tomorrow we are heading back home but not till 7pm.

Molly August 1, 2009

Do you think it might be a good idea to get all these thistles out of here? Its a job I want no part of, and the young man that does it for me is on vacation till the end of the week. Oh well, like everything else it will have to wait.

My husband loves to "borrow" these things from hospitals...

Five minutes before the last performance started, as we were doing our 'Energy Circle' in the band room, the school's fire alarm started sounding. We cleared the school & auditorium (our audience is across the lawn from us here in this pic) and waited outside for about an hour & a half, until the fire department allowed us back inside to start our performance for a much smaller audience, two hours late.

On their way to a "hillbilly" party.

Maybe you have all seen this already. In front of the Jewel this display was made with cases of Pepsi products. (At the other end they had one made with Coke products for that other Chicago team).

Today we went to Animal kingdom and Hollywood studios and then we went to downtown disney. That is where we went out to eat at T-REX. James loved it the ceiling and walls changed colors. Plus James learned how to color for the first time.
