Lame

Last weekend we went to Seaworld in the evening so we could see the different shows they have going on at night. After a couple shows we had to stop and feed the flamingos and ducks. Then there was a little band that came out to play and Caleb ran over and sat down by them. He didn't sit long though...who can sit when you can dance along? So even though it was getting late, he was having so much fun that we stayed until the band finished. And then we turned around to get our stroller and it was GONE! LAME!! I was sooooo bummed!

I asked one of the workers where to go if a stroller turns up and she said to just talk the customer services at the front. I was walking through the park thinking about how many times I had left my stroller at Seaworld in various places as they don't let you take it into the shows and how I've never had a problem before. I was also thinking about how expensive that stroller was and how often I used it! I used it to go on walks, to the zoo, Seaworld, the mall...pretty much EVERYWHERE. We got to the front and they told us that no strollers had been turned in and that we could check back the next day if we wanted to. Um, yes, I wanted to. As we were busy doing that, my brother and sister-in-law happened to ask a security guard who happened to know that they just located a stroller. There was another family there who were trying to claim it though. But it happened to be our stroller and we happened to leave a receipt in it with our names on it! YIPEE!! So we got our stroller back! Apparently the stroller had been "left unattended for quite some time" so the security guard took it. Hmmm...aren't strollers left unattended all the time at Seaworld? Like for each and every show all day every day? But whatever. I'm just glad to have it back. :)

Fun Visits

We've had some fun visits the past couple weeks. No pictures, though. I'm lame.

First we got to have Sal with us from Vegas for a couple days as he was here on a business trip. It was so fun to hang out with him and we wish it could have been for longer. We also wish that JoEllen and Little Sal and Jazmin could have been here too! For sure, next time! Thanks for making time for us, Sal!

The day after that, my sister, Kaylyn, came from Tacoma for several days. We had so much fun! We did lots of stuff like, Fried Food Fest on Friday the Fourth, a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, watching fireworks, going downtown, doing the mirror maze, going to Seaworld, and eating at lots of our favorite places. We always love a good visit from "Nyn!" And we are always so sad when she has to go home!

We are usually totally up for visitors, but our last visitor was very unwelcomed. It was a stomach virus. Caleb ended up with a really bad stomach virus and the poor kid was soooooooooo sick! I always feel so bad when he is sick. Luckily he slept a lot, so that helped. One night I put him down at 7:30pm and he didn't get up until 1:30pm the next day! Poor little guy. He was a trooper though and is better now. And I think the rest of us managed to avoid it. Knock on wood.
