We're heading out tomorrow to spend the holiday weekend in Mankato. Today was another busy day of packing, doing laundry, trying to stay caught up with emails and LLL work, etc. I don't feel as if I've caught up from being gone last week yet, so it's been a challenging week in that regard. I guess after this weekend we'll be staying around Yankton for a good chunk of the summer, so I'll hopefully be getting back in the groove.

Tonight after Cory's 7 p.m. intake, we took the kids to the carnival. Last year Accalia and Cole had tried out a small roller coaster right away. Accalia loved it, but Cole was scared. This year he wanted to try it again, and once again he wanted off after the first trip around. It was interesting, though, seeing his "progress." Last year he was almost inconsolable, but this year he kept his cool and just yelled that he wanted off. He's definitely not into rides that go up and down at all. He even changed his mind about the merry go round. He found plenty of other things to do, though: bouncy houses, a big obstacle course set up, a super slide - I went with him on the super slide because he wasn't quite big enough to go on his own. Cory went on the ferris wheel and bumper cars with Accalia. Ella wasn't interested in going on anything but had a blast people watching.

So that was probably the highlight of the day. I should be back here late on Monday or Tuesday.
