Busy Days

Wow, busy days since Gigantor got here. We went and got him on Wed. night. His plane was delayed (of course) So we didn't get back to the house until after 9. Then we didn't eat dinner till almost 11. hehehehee It was great to see him, and to see how much kiddo missed and has been hugging all over him.

Thursday, we went to kiddo's swimming lessons, then to see mom, then off to get kiddo some school clothes and supplies. We came home and ate some lunch then had to get ready to go to water aerobics, and kiddo and gigantor were gonna swim. About 5 minutes into water aerobics and swimming, kiddo leans to far forward, and bangs his mouth on the side of the pool. He busts his front tooth. His permanent front tooth. Knocked the inside corner of it off, and shaved the back of it off. So...we jump out of aerobics, and call Alekx's dentist. He says if the nerve isn't showing (and pink or blood or red) then he should be okay. He also suggested since it was just a little jagged but not bugging him so much the next day, that we wait to see his own dentist when we get home.

Friday, get up and go see mom. Wait around for the dentist to call, to inform him that kiddo seemed okay, and we were waiting to go home to his own dentist. Made some phone calls, took care of some bills, and started packing some stuff up. We then went and got mom and went to an early dinner at a bbq place called Red Hot and Blue. It was really fun, and really good. We take mom back to the nursing home, and go to a late movie. We saw Sky High. OMG it was soooo good, just real fun, and funny. Wonderful kids movie. But us adults loved it too. We got out of the movie about 11:30 and the entire time kiddo is going *yawwwwwnnnn* "I'm so tired" So I told him to sleep in the care (about a 20 minute drive home) so he did.

Got up at 7 this morning. and we all went to the wildlife park again. Took tons of pictures. All the animals were really brave and somewhat aggressive this time. The deer and sheep and lama's were eating right out of our hands. Gigantor got pecked by an Ostrich. The zebra's were putting their heads in the car, and letting us pet them, and eating. We even got a few friendly nips by the zebra's. hehehehe We then had some HUGE antlered, European Red Deer, trying to get their heads and antlers in the car. We are shoving them back, and this one totally drools down the inside of the car door and all over me. ahhhhh deer goobers. hehehehehee It was classic. And this time we got to feed the giraffe's It was amazing. I was holding food in my hand for this young female, and she was very tentatively taking it, then backing off. Well then we came around to this big Male. His chest was taller than the durango. He was amazing. He was reaching down and eating out of my hand, then I was slowly moving my hand back in the car, and getting him to stick his entire head in the car so we could get pictures.

Gigantor's mom had given him a digital camera while I was gone. It's not great, it's a HP, and only 2X zoom, but we got some other cards for it, and were taking pictures, and we are gonna get a card reader, so if any of them come out, I will post some.

We then came home tonight, and packed up everything else except our last bathroom stuff, and two days of clothes.

Tomorrow we are going the museum of natural history in Dallas. Gonna take mom with us, then we are coming home to load the durango, and eat some dinner. We are all gonna go to bed early, cuz we want to be on the road about 4 in the morning Monday. We wanna try to make the trip in one day. We are looking at about 18 hours. Please keep us in your prayers and good vibes for the trip. I probably won't be posting until we are home, and unpacked.

Have a good rest of the weekend, and happy Monday!!!!

P.S. Nights are gOOooOoOOoOOod with Gigantor back with me!!!!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you manage the rest of the trip with no more injuries! Talk about acident prone, sheesh!

I'm taking the safe bet: put my money on a long, but safe ride home to AZ for you all! You just don't do well, separated from each other - bad karma for you, kiddo and the Gigantor! Still you accomplished SO much in the face of adversity! [Dorko stands up and applauds!] All will be well, now that you'll be together once again! Love goes with you - sending it out to see you through...
