Kids are out and I am still working.

What is up with that?

Well, we are all miserable. Just kidding. I am still at work and the kids are attending summer camp at BCA. Really, the kids are having fun at camp it is just getting up and getting there. (And the thought of getting up and out during summer break is just wrong.)

The big excitement of summer camp was the train wreck on June 10th. The summer camp took the kids to Pullen Park on the Amtrak train. What a great idea, until a car intentionally sits on the tracks and caused a train wreck. Well, everyone on the train was ok. The kids with camp did not even feel the crash. They just heard the horn for a really long time. Evidently, the delay was really cool. They sang song, ate pretzels, went to the bathroom (many times), and watched the EMS, Firemen, and Police come through and check the train. All and all, it was an interesting day. After the train delay the kids went to Pullen Park for a picnic. The media followed them to the park and filmed the group as they walked up the trail. They looked so sweet. Ms. Carrol did a nice job talking to a reporter. I know I am thankful that the kids were safe. But, I do have to admit I was (surprisingly) a little overwhelmed with the "what ifs".

I am hugging my kids a little extra tight these days!

Love,
