Got to go out and visit with my Aunt Joan she is doing very well. Was a nice day and was able to catch up on alot of things. Even was able to get some new pictures of my mom and dad that I had never seen before. So that was very special.

We got Paul a new Dog, his name is Alex. He is a Chinese Crested. He is a Hairy Hairless, which means he has hair all over his back and such but not as thick or as much as a normal dog. Paul calls him his son. He Adores him very much. We even took him with us to the Meade County Fair and let paul enter him in the “pet” contest. Paul won 1st Place! in the 20lbs and under section. Boy Paul was proud. His grandma and aunt shelly even came to watch him. Joe won 2nd in the 20lbs and above and 3rd in the trick contest. Oh and I forgot to mention we dyed Alex’s Hair on his head as he has a white mohawk through the hair on his head,well it was Blue and is now Red. We used koolaide. It washes right out but looks pretty neat while its on.

We also got another Border Collie, she is the sister/littermate to the one we had. Her name is Ziggy. She has alot more brown/red in her then Kay-ak does. She has alot of focus issues but shes getting better. We are working on teaching her how to play as she doesnt know how. She was on a working farm and play just wasnt on the top of the list. She has the water drive like kay-ak has the ball drive. She will be a work in progress for some time but she gets there slowly day by day. She is going through her fear stage at the moment and is scared of all sorts of things.

Paul started back to school he is now in 1st grade! He was sad that some of his friends were not going to be in his class this year but he found that he will still see them as they are still in the same school just different teachers. He is doing pretty well so far. The reading is still a struggle but he will get there just takes time.

Well after the games were all done we went to leave but noticed a big cloud down the street so we went down to see what was going on and the Save-a-lot shopping center that been there since the 60′s was on fire. It started down at the smoke shop and went all the way down. It was a total loss. Hard to believe its gone. Paul was all upset as he thought would be no more chicken nuggets lol.

We decided to go kayaking with Kay-ak down at the water retention pond and see how she did her first time out in the kayak. She done pretty well for the most part. Her and Joe did end up flipping over in the middle and had to tow them to shore but, not exactly sure what happened to make them flip. Was quite comical to see though. Ended up putting her in the boat with me for a bit she did pretty well as there is more room for her to lay down in mine so think that was a good thing. Paul got to paddle around for a bit as well but mostly we hooked him on the back of our boat and pulled him around. Was alot of fun though.

Seen some really pretty cranes and a beaver damn and just had a nice relaxing day. We all got a bit sumburned though so think next time we need to remember to put some sunblock on as we are all paying for it afterwards. Even joe got sunburned! lol. I somehow bruised my leg without knowing it and boy does it hurt. I will probably be limping for a few days with this.
