The past couple of days we have been preparing to send off my oldest daughter to a wonderful camp in a state north of us. This is her first year to be going to this particular camp throwing her off a bit, but thankfully she had a close friend go with her. The twins have been with their grandmother for the past month, also north of us, so now I am left with just one for the week! I don’t think this has ever happened! Lucky me, but I feel a bit spoiled and feel like maybe I need to dig deep in the house for extra house work. ha!

So I braided her hair yesterday……took me about an hour to do her whole head.


Finished product.



Youngest playing a game of pool. It was so cute seeing her get a hang of the game! But …yes she beat me at pool.


This is one of the signs displayed at the teen hang out! HAHAHA!


I just wanted to add that this after school/weekend hangout for the teens is a wonderful program! They have 2 big screen televisions to play games on, 4 or 5 pool tables, (I think) 4 air hockey tables, a ‘diner’ area for the kids to buy food for CHEAP!, places to sit and read and relax, a stage with surround speakers for the kids to perform on and outside there is a huge basketball court with an elevated area to sit and watch the game. It is a wonderful program for teens that don’t have a safe place to go after school, or for teens that just want a fun place to hang out at.

On the weekend, they do have a police officer to watch over mostly to make the parents happy to know their kids are safe. But I have to say, yesterday I was really getting some ‘mean mug’ looks from some of the teen girls! They are some mean looking girls! hahah but I just looked at them and smiled! lol (don’t even try it little girl) hahahah

Visiting yesterday made me want to volunteer there as well to help talk to some of these girls to keep them on the right path. It’s a great program. Anyway! It was fun hanging out for a while and I know I’ll go back to help in the future.
