A Trip to the Water Park

We're in the midst of another very fun... but busy... weekend. Last night, we met some long-time friends who live out of state at a nearby indoor water park. Mia felt good for about the first half hour and then was felt miserable for about an hour and a half. I just held her and she didn't move - something that we are not at all used to with our little Miss Energy. Fortunately, by the second half of the night, she was feeling better and showed our friends a little of her true, bubbly personality. We started a new antibiotic on her yesterday afternoon to kick a cold she has had for about two weeks and I think it just knocked her out for a little bit. Thankfully, she is back to her normal self today. Leila had a wonderful time playing with her new friend, Kayla (age 10), and we had a great visit with our friends.

Leila and Kayla met each other one other time - over three years ago. I just love how kids can go off and act like they have known each other forever. They were inseperable the entire evening.

One of the hundred or so times that they went down this slide.

This morning, I took Mia to her Chinese class and then took Leila to a Russian grocery store to pick out some Russian candies. The girls are catching a quick nap before we head off to Leila's indoor soccer game this afternoon. We're also looking forward to a nice visit with some other friends tomorrow afternoon at our home. I hope I can fit a nap in there somewhere. ;)

I hope you are all having a great weekend!!

Oh what fun! We have an indoor water park not too far from us- I just always forget about it. Need to go check it out on one of these frigid days!
Have a blessed weekend!

Michelle,

I have so many of your posts to catch up on. I have been computerless for a whole week! I got a new computer and all of my files had to be transferred and then reintalled in our network, whew! Then I got the stomach flu; uggh! Anyway, thank you SO much for including me in your friendship award. I was truly touched! I hope you didn't think that I was ignoring your kind gesture. I am so glad that we have met through blogland. Even though we haven't met or spoken, I consider you my friend. :)

Now, on to what I missed on your blog. . .

Blessings,
Tisha

Michelle,

What great pictures. The girls as always are adorable.

I hope this antibiotic finally kills off what your sweet Mia has. It stinks when our babies are sick!!

There's nothing like a fun water park, and a few antibiotics to make a girl smile :)
