After VBS I met Lisa N. and her kids. It has
been fun getting together over the years and watching Mallory and Luke grow up
as buds. They always connect like they saw each other every day. After lunch we
went to the Ames water park complete with tube slides and lazy river. It was
super hot 90’s and the water was cold. It was a great day to be there. Jayden
kind of stayed by my side and tagged a long. I had a mother ask me if she is a
great kid, does well in school and is reliable. I said yes, how can you tell, she
told me she could just tell it and she sees so many 14 to 15 year old girls that
are so disrespectful to their mothers. Jayden has always been so exceptional.
Jake and Mason did their own thing together, going on water slides and the lazy
river. Luke and Mallory played in the splash pool and eventually went down a
kiddie slide. It was a big slide, double wide and fast. It took a lot of
encouraging, several attempst up the ladder, and mom to catch him at the bottom
before he would try it. His face expression with big eyes showed how scared he
was zipping down it. Once down he loved it and went again and again. He never
went under , but got his face in a few times. Just glad he is getting braver
and hope soon enough he will be swimming. After, we ate supper and
went to taekwondo. Home at 8:00 PM after along day in town.
