Packing Up...

Last night two tornados touched down in McLean County with minimal damage. A number of funnel clouds were seen, but that is not why we are packing up today!

We are heading to St. Louis for five days. We leave this afternoon when Daniel gets off work. We are very excited about it. The Zoo, the arch, a city tour and Six Flags are all on our list of things to do. Expect blog posts and pictures:)

Yesterday at about 2, the mother of a friend of Katrina's called and invited us to meet them at O'Neill Park pool. We had tried to get to this park a couple of times, but construction had made it just about impossible. We kept running into dead ends. She gave me directions and we found the pool easily.

There were two slides, two diving boards and the kids liked it okay, but I think they prefer the Holiday park pool better. After Katrina's friend left, we packed up and headed to Holiday Park and ran into a couple of Jack's friends and another one of Katrina's friends there. I also got to talking to a ocuple of different people. I made three new friends yesterday and all were kind, helpful and more than happy to give me advice about things to do.

I did have an experience at the pool that was more than a bit odd. When I was walking around the pool to tell Katrina it was time to go, a Miley Cyrus song was on the speakers. I watched briefly (and I do mean briefly...like two seconds as I walked by) a teenager dancing to the song and making fun. I smiled and continued toward Katrina.

When we were all leaving, he and a couple of friends were in the parking lot leaving too. He asked me if I had seen him dancing. At first I said no because I didn't connect the two together. Then I said...oh yeah, the Miley song. He replied with asking if I had seen him dance some other song and I said no. Got in the truck, turned to look out of my window and he was dancing in the parking lot. Then he turned around and I swear I thought he was going to moon me. Instead he slapped his behind and asked what I thought of his booty. I told him I thought he was an ill behaved and mannered child. GEEZ!!!! Daniel said they must have thought I was staring at him the first time when I saw him dancing... Not sure I want to go back to that pool anytime soon...

Johnny was unable to have his surgery yesterday as his blood was too thin. They have taken him off of his blood thinning medication and they hope to try today. Thank you for your thoughts, comments and prayers.

Well, off to run a couple of errands and pack.
