Feeding Lorakeets at Sea World
So I really freaked out. I knew that mads would love this opportunity to get close and personal with these birds. I figured I could handle it. I was wrong. Jody and I were laughing nervously so much so that I started to cry. They landed on your outstretched arm and dug their talons into it. Maybe my arm is too meaty and Madeline's is nice and bony. She was thrilled and Lola, unfortunately, took my lead and was quite frightened as well. At least I tried....TWICE!!!!

Monsoon 2008
It's finally here. We thought it was just going to be a little wind and maybe some dust, but the howling wind came in along with a downpour. The girls are a little afraid of the lightning so they watched from the safe comforts of inside. Then Jeff and the girls stripped down and did a little rain dance.

Lemonade Stand
Madeline really wanted to have a lemonade stand last weekend...even though it's been over 110 for a while. So we baked a yummy cake and decorated a sign and sat and waited in the shade of the carport. We had a few REAL customers (meaning neighbors) and a few friends that I texted stopped by. Dad even came home from his 7am-7 pm shift for a refreshment. All in all, it was a good day...except Lola ended up in the hospital that night to get some IV antibiotics to treat a kidney infection. Looking at these pictures, it's hard to believe that she was that sick. She's all better now and is back to her sassy self!
