.17. Castaway Cove

So on Thursday, Mom, Anna, and I headed to Wichita Falls, TX to have a little fun in the sun at Castaway Cove. It's not a great big waterpark, but it has plenty of stuff to do with a 4 (almost 5!) year old. I had taken Anna to get her 4 year old vaccination's for school (I had to get a few too so I asked if I could just take her) about a month ago and I promised her as a reward for putting her through that we would go to the waterpark. Boy did we have a BLAST! I was afraid it was going to rain us out, but by the time we got there it was HOT HOT HOT!

C and I had taken Anna to this waterpark last year and she loved it. It has a really nice kids area with three miniature water slides and some other smaller water slides. Last year Anna would only go down them if she could sit in my lap, and this year she started off that way, but by the end of the day, she was going down them face first on her tummy! GO ANNA!

She was also tall enough this year to ride on one of the big slides in a double tube so we got to ride together. She LOVED it! She's so little though, she sat in the front of the tube as close to me as she could get and I wrapped my feet around her and had a death grip on her life jacket just in case. There was no way I was going to let her fly outta there! We had so much fun though. I love how the lazy river floats into their wave pool and you have to cross the waves to get to the other side of the river. That was my favorite part of the trip! The waves were so strong that they about knocked all three of us down. We could not stop laughing! Here's a picture collage of our day:

You can click the picture to make it bigger and please excuse the crappy quality of the pictures. They were taken with one of those waterproof disposable things and let me just say I am so glad I have a nice digital camera for really nice pictures! And Carol over at inkyblog gave me the idea for this collage. Go check her blog out, she's funny, a great photographer, and her two boys are adorable!

.14. August already?

I can't believe that today is August 2nd! Wow, this year has flown. Well parts of it anyway. Seems like it took forever for nursing school to start, but now I've been in class for almost 1 month (first day was July 10)!

Yesterday mom and I went to OKC for some retail therapy. LOL Hey, shopping really does help when you're depressed and down. I feel lots better today because I got to get out of the house and just go. We both got new purses, I got a new watch AND new bedding! My old bedding was too short and this was on SALE (like $100.00 cheaper on sale!) so I love it! It was a bed in a bag so it came with a comforter, sheet set, pillow shams, and bedskirt! The sheets are now in the dryer and I can't wait to put them on the bed.

Here's some pictures of my loot.

Watch:


Bedding:

The best part about all of these purchases was that EVERYTHING was on sale. Gotta love a good bargain! Now I'm off to go study for school. Hope everyone has had a great weekend!

.3. Almost Friday

Ack, I only have 1 more full day before nursing school starts. Where oh where did my two weeks go?! My last day at DRH was on June 26, 2009. I have no idea where the time went.

Got all of my school supplies today:
3 inch 3 ring binder
loose leaf notebook paper
pens
pencils
highlighters
rubber bands
index cards
and probably 1 or 2 other things I'm forgetting.

Mom, Anna, and I also went to eat at Chili's and then went to the mall in OKC today. Anna got to go to Build-A-Bear and made a bear named Raspberry with a white and pink sequined dress. She loves it! She also got a couple of new dresses from baby Gap (my fave being the blue maxi dress that Madonna's daugher also has) and she also got a new pair of brown gladiator sandles from Dillard's. The girl has definitely got style. We also got baby Deacon a little outfit that will match his blue and cream colored puppy dog robeez. Only 3 more weeks until that sweet babe will be here.

Be back tomorrow with a cute pic from my cell phone of Anna eating at Chili's and I will have to get a picture of her in her dress and with Raspberry. I'm off to bed as it is 11:17 PM now!
