Hang On Sloopy (official rock song of Ohio)

My trip to visit Crystal was a blast, you can click on the Fiona link to see the pictures. A few random tidbits.... Owen's teacher is Mrs. Shelton. Our neighbor kid told Owen, "Good luck, she's pretty mean." Owen is too excited for school to be worried. This morning I was snapping at the kids to pick up their toys and CC said in a very casual tone, "Why are you acting like my stepmother?" Too funny, too much Cinderella. And for my Ohio friends, CC was eating a Reese's Peanutbutter cup and said, "This is a Buckeye, right Mama?"

We had a new student orientation at O's school on Thursday night. It went pretty well. I was hoping O would get a chance to go into his classroom and meet his teacher before the first day of school, it doesn't look like that will happen. Actually, I don't even remember where his classroom is!! We will have to "wing it" on Monday morning.

We went to Raging Waters Waterpark this weekend. Waterslides are way more intense than they used to be. The lines were brutal, we waited for over an hour for the river ride. I am not crazy about standing around strangers half naked with bare feet. Owen had a great time. He was really brave, he even tried the "Flow Rider" it's like a surfing simulator. The water really moved fast, he did three quick spins and fell off the board. He did have to do the walk of shame off of one slide that was just too high for him (it was too high for me too!)

First day of school coming up, woo-hoo!
