Interesting title, eh? {Did I just say 'eh'???) Let's hope this post will not be as disgusting as the title promises :) So here we go, off on anther blogging adventure! Kittens and Ice Cream!
I haven't done a kitten update in a long time :( They are already about 4 1/2 months old! I can't believe how big they are getting! I absolutely love having kittens around the house! It started raining Saturday night ~ after I had put the kittens in their cage for the night ~ and it continued raining until Sunday around 9:00~ish :) Of course, I had to let the kittens out of their cage before we went to church, so while still in my pajamas {And with Joelle's assistance}, I got my umbrella and dashed daringly into the rain! I got Morroco, and ran back to the house {I couldn't hold two kittens and and umbrella at the same time! I'm not that talented!} ~ and ran back out and got Louie and ran back again! I put them out on the carport so they could stay dry, and by the time we were ready to go to church, the raining had pretty much stopped. SO ~ enough babbling :) On to the pictures of my little sweeties {Yes I call them 'Sweeties' even though they are males :)}!
Umm, Morroco? That doesn't look very comfortable... I love Louie's ears! Now on to a whole different subject {But one that tastes great!}... ICE CREAM!!!
The ice cream looks great... and Joelle's face looks...
Telling stories as the ice cream slowly drips... drip, drip, drip.
I LOVE this one!!! Except that it looks like she's picking her nose... :( Could you please move your hand honey? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?
Ahh, haven't had a picture post in a while and... it feels great to be back! I was having a bit of a inspiration 'loss'. I couldn't find anything good to take a picture of, but ice cream and kittens are always great places to start!
We're also re-doing out kitchen ~ I'll be sure to have before and after pics when it's all done! Have a great evening!
Yup. It is seriously hard to type. I am typing really slow. My shoulders, neck and face are burnt to a crisp. I went swimming with Rebecca yesterday for 3 1/2 hours, but I put on the spray kind which had a way lower SPF. Ugh. I hurt so bad. I can move. I put a rice bag that had been in the freezer on my back, and it felt so good! I also heard it sizzling because my back was so hot (It was just the rice moving) :) I put Aloe on last night and... it didn't really help. Jenny said it will make me not peel as much. I'm just tired and burnt and hot. You can feel the heat when you touch my face! Oh! And guess what?
I'm going swimming today :)
I WILL put on sunscreen! Ooh, but that will be SO painful! Oh well, I'm swimming in the evening, so maybe I won't need sunscreen. I can't get any more burnt than I am now!
I'm not saying that awards are boring. I'm just SO tired from our lake/beach trip today. I'm really not sure what to call it (Lake? Beach?), because it's called Sherando 'LAKE', but a sign said "NO LITTERING ON THE BEACH!". What do you think? I'm sorry. I'm being terribly boring and I'm running my mouth - so I really should get on with it. So, if this post sounds really boring, it's because I'm not 'with it' if you know what I mean :) Before I get to the awards/tags, here is a picture of the lake:
I didn't take this picture, and I didn't take ANY pictures. I didn't even take my camera. I didn't want it to get stolen or anything, so maybe Kate will post pictures and I can steal them from her blog (In a loving Christian way of course) :)
NOW for the awards:
I award: Hannah Paige @ Trusting in His Love ~ Laney @ Got Freckles? ~ Bekah @ The Word Crafter. I award: Jenny @ Jenny (Ha! Maybe now she'll HAVE to do a post!) ~ Emily Shae @ Writings of a Small Town Girl ~ Elizabeth J. @ Footprints in the sand.

So now I'm typing... I have no idea what I'm typing... I'm going to fall asleep... My shoulders and neck got sunburned. Ouch! You know what? I'm sitting here at the kitchen counter, and I see lemon blueberry and chocolate muffins right in front of me, and they look so good. I want one, but Dad will be home soon and then dinner and... but I want one now... :( Wow, I sound really pouty, don't I? I'm sorry, I'm not usually like this :) O.K., I'll stop typing now :)
Two days ago, I posted about how I was going to the beach. I was very excited about going, because I haven't been to a beach all year (Actually, maybe even two years!)! And also, to be going with friends and family. But that trip was canceled because of a huge storm over the beach :( I woke up all 'ready to go' and excited, but then I saw the weather forecast and... no beach.
If you forget, it was one of my presents for my birthday. A day at the waterpark with a friend! When I found out we couldn't go the beach, I was really disappointed. Mom and Aunt Linda were trying to figure out a date to go to the waterpark, and they came up with a date sometime in two weeks, and I COULDN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!! So when Mom got off the phone, I forget if either me or Mom suggested this, but one of us said, "Hey, what about tonight?". And that was the most AMAZING suggestion EVER! :) Mass. WaterPark has a twilight swim/waterpark thingy. You get to do all the same stuff, it's just darker (Although they do have lights so it's really not that dark).
The outdoor waterpark (Which is a wave pool, HUGE/TALL waterslide, and a water play area for the littler kids) was open from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, and Me, Mom, and Michelle got there around 5:30. So we were in the wave pool for about half an hour. Mom just stayed up in a room kind of above the waterpark (Like an observation room). She just sat up there reading/listening to her ipod/watching us/sipping sweet tea :) while we were playing down there. The walls in the observation room are glass, so we could see her from the waterpark.
I'm going to post the same pictures from this post, so enjoy!
The HUGE/TALL slide outside! Michelle and I didn't go on that one, but I went on it last time, and it was fun! The FlowRider! There was this little girl (Maybe 3) and she was surfing, and she was good! She looked scared out of her wits, but she was GOOD!
When you go up the 'lane' to get to the parking lot, this is what you see. It gives you an idea on how twisty and turny the slides are! The smaller ones on the front side of the building are the body slides. DON'T GO ON THEM!!! Never! You cannot breathe, and if that's not enough, you can't sit up and you have water spraying in your face for at least a minute.
The entrance to the Country Cooler. This is a fun ride. It's mostly for the little kids though. It goes kind of slow, and it's lit up inside. The Melting Mongul is the very fun! It is pitch black, even in the middle of the day, and you go up, down, sideways, up the wall (Seriously, you literally are on the side of the wall when you go around a turn!) any way go can think of! But my favorite tube ride is definitely the Peak Splash! It is kind of light, and kind of dark. Lot's of twists and turns and ups and downs! When Michelle and I went on the Melting Mongul, it was really dark outside, so that made it really dark in the tunnel. When it's light outside, you can only see right when you go straight down to exit the tunnel. But then it got really dark in the building, so we couldn't even see when we exited the tunnel! There was NO light! We only knew we were going out when we went straight down and water pretty much gulfed our faces :) Now THAT, was fun!
We had so much fun!
After the waterpark, we went to Cold Stone Creamery! I love that place! I got a mint oreo pie crust ice cream bowl (Like It size of course :). After that, we went home and Michelle stayed for a sleepover. We watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We finished the movie around 12:00. We were SO tired, so we went to sleep. I can still feel the water rushing over my legs, even though it's the next day! I LOVE the waterpark, but it wouldn't be special if we went like every month. It's very special when I get to go with friends and do fun things, so THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM AND DAD for my birthday present!
So even though we didn't get to go to the beach, we're going next Friday, the waterpark was SO much fun, it made up for missing out on the beach! I'm still tired, so I'm gonna sign off now! Bye!
I made Joelle a tent this afternoon - she loved it!
Our pulley system :) I roped a string over a branch and tied two short pieces of string to one end, and attached the other end to a handy dandy... (Did I just say handy dandy?)
Tent peg! Her fire.
Her eye through a hole in the blanket :)
Such a cutie pie!
A robin who flew in on our party! A cake I baked this afternoon (Joelle wanted the sprinkles :)!
You HAVE to enlarge this pic (Click on it), it's HILARIOUS!
Sweet face! Birdy pics...
Louie must have been thirsty! And Morocco! I didn't think he'd like getting his paws all wet!
O.K., well maybe not picture OVERLOAD, but still lots of fun pictures! Enjoy!
I'd love to know! Me? I'm not doing much. But that's O.K. I know that I'll get to go to the beach again sometime, and in a couple of years, if I make touring choir (A choir at the school I'm going to go to) like Jenny and Kate, I'll be going to Europe!!! Who doesn't want to go to Europe?
But that will be in another four years... FOUR YEARS??? Are you kidding? ONLY four years? I really hadn't realized how CLOSE four years is! *does a little dance* I'm going to Europe in four years!!! Providing that I actually... make it :) And that the rapture doesn't happen before then, and I don't die in the next four years (Which I'm not planning on doing :). In fact, this is kind of scary, but this post might never be published because in the next few seconds, I might very well die. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Nope. Still here. So anyway, in FOUR YEARS I'll go to Europe. I hope I still have this blog in four years. I've done well over 200 posts, and I still have another month to go before my official one-year blogoversary! Lets do the math... If I keep all my posting up, I should have around 1,200 posts... or something like that! That is a lot of posts!
We aren't going to the beach this year (Unless Mom and Dad have some surprise up their sleeves :), even though I'd really like to. But I know I can't have everything I want. So it's O.K. that I'm not going to the beach.
At least we can still go swimming!
And no, this is NOT my house or pool, but I wish it was!!! Tomorrow we're going swimming, and I promise to take pictures (PLEASE Lord, let me remember because I promised ALL my bloggy friends!!!). We also went swimming on the 21st, the longest day of the year, the beginning of Summer, and Father's Day!
Another thing I know I'm doing, is going to the Water Park with Michelle - Which I wrote about here (Do you need any more links? :).
The Water Park is AWESOME!!! I want to take some pictures there too, but I'm pretty sure Mom doesn't want me to have the camera near the water :) Am I right Mom? Maybe I can just give the camera to Mom and she can take some pics from up in the cafe! Yeah, good plan! Oh, and yes, that is the water park! There is tons more too! Here are some pictures:
The water bucket :) It slowly fills up until it gets to heavy, and then it DUMPS!!!
The entrance to the Country Cooler (I can't believe I remembered that!).
The coolest one is the red one, because it's pitch black the entire way down until you suddenly drop! By the way, you use inner tubes on these rides.
Another view of the inside part. See the 'rocked' in part? That's just a swimming pool.
The body slides. Take my advice: NEVER GO ON THESE!!! They will scare you to death! You cannot sit up and it is impossible to breathe for at least 30 seconds.
Another really small but fun slide.
This is the outside. You can see how intricate all the slides are!
The surfing center. I tried it and I FAILED!!!
The HUGE slide outside. Yeah, I went on that. It was AWESOME!!! There is tons of stuff to do outside too. We are going sometime in July because then the outside park will be open too! Joelle really wants to go, but I'm not sure if she's going yet. Kate or Jenny would have to stay with her. I am so excited! I can't wait! Have a great Summer everyone!
Umm, Morroco? That doesn't look very comfortable...
I love Louie's ears!
Now on to a whole different subject {But one that tastes great!}... ICE CREAM!!!
The ice cream looks great... and Joelle's face looks...
Telling stories as the ice cream slowly drips... drip, drip, drip.
I LOVE this one!!! Except that it looks like she's picking her nose... :( Could you please move your hand honey? PLEASE?!?!?!?!?
