Nice Clevage

I know. It's been awhile. This blog is more for the humor of last night rather than an update on SWEP. Though if you are looking for that it will be in the next section. So, last night we (Mc, Chris, and I) went up the street for a few drinks. Chris had gone in to get us more drinks and this guy walked by with his arms in the air. McCall said, "whoohoo" and then to me he goes "nice cleavage. muy buneo (very good)". I couldn't stop laughing/smiling to be able to give a response. I was a tad caught off guard.

Continuing onto the update of SWEP. It's coming to an end. In fact I can see the ending. Eight more days. Again, 8 more days. I don't know whether I'm sad or happy. I think there is a mixture of both. Happy to see the kids go, but sad because I won't see Jack, Mc and Chris much more. Along with the end of SWEP is a sign of the end of my summer. I am going to get to spend some extra time with the Humes family because I offered to drive down with them to Vegas so they'd have a third set of hands and a third person to rotate for Jack duty. I don't mind because then I have a few more days, but that flight home is going to be sad. At least I'll have lots to keep me busy when I get home. We are going to be moving in September so I "have" a goal of going through all my crap before we move. When I moved last I realized all the crap I had and said that I was never going to move with it all again. We'll see how that goes.

The kiddos are doing well. I think most of them are a little sad SWEP is about to end. We went to the coast for deep sea fishing last weekend and they all loved it. It's probably the best event of the summer because all of the dory boat families fry up all the fish and put a potluck together for us. It is the bomb! Best clam chowder I've ever had! Yum. The kids caught a lot this year too. The fisherman didn't think the kids were going to catch a whole lot because Friday they barely caught any. There was one student who didn't catch anything, but the most caught was seven.

Then yesterday we went bowling. We originally were supposed to go to a audio described movie, but the only movie playing after the kids got off work that was described was rated R and not all of the kids have permission to see rated R movies. Plus it was one staff didn't care to go to. So we polled and went bowling instead. They were all so excited. It was weird. A good time though. I even broke 100, barely though (102).

Tomorrow we are doing our rafting trip. Most of the kiddos are excited about it. It's kind of a lame white water rafting trip, but a decent rafting trip. They have us scheduled to be on the water from 10am - 5pm. It's a little lengthy, but hopefully it will be fun. The place we used to raft is really white water rafting, which is why I suggested to my boss that we alternate where we raft. I mostly did that so I won't get bored with it. My roommie is coming so that will help tomorrow.

Alrighty, I think that is all of the updates for now. Maybe I'll go play some Guitar Hero, which I'm getting pretty decent at for only playing for two weeks. I can play decently on medium. Tia's not too shabby.

The 4th of July

As most of you know, every year SWEP spends the 4th of July at Oaks Park. It's fun for the kids and a really long day for all involved. Yesterday went really well except for the last par of the day. We spent the day BBQing, munching, hanging out, and riding rides. Jack enjoyed the day as well. He loves being outside. My sister Kathi and her boyfriend Luke also joined us mid day through. Mc, Kathi, Luke, and I all went roller skating at the rink there. I haven't roller skated in five years, but got the feel of it after a few times around the rink. I only came close to falling once, but had to catch my balance three times during the almost fall. I forgot how much of a workout skating is. It was fun. I had fun riding a few rides too. The Screaming Eagle is the best there. That's what I look forward to every year. I can't go and not ride it at least once. This year I rode it twice with kids and once when Chris and I snuck away right before the fireworks. I can now say that I have watched fireworks in the sky upside down. It was a blast! and kind of an odd experience, but fun!

So, the last part of the evening was quite interesting. It was frustrating for about 45 minutes while we were sitting in the van not moving an inch out of the parking lot. Dan, Amy, and I were all tired and just wanted to get home. From past years, we know that we'll sit in the parking lot of a bit (except last year we got out in like 20 minutes), usually about a half an hour. But this year after the 45 minute mark I was getting really frustrated. Then we saw a fire truck and then about 10 minutes later we saw an ambulance. Come to find out, there was a pregnant lady in the middle of the park in labor. After I heard that I wasn't as frustrated anymore. Though I was still a tad frustrated due to tiredness.

Overall the r4th of July was a good ol' time. Love BBQ, good rides, and best of all good friends.
