Waco Trip #3
The final stop for the day was one of the fire stations in Waco. John Linda, who we stayed with, is a fireman, and we literally got an inside look at the station and the trucks. We even got to take a short ride in one of the first responding vehicles. It was very, very cool. The kids even got plastic firemen hats.
Waco Trip #2
It's taken me waaaay too long to get this posted, but here it is. Finally.
Our second day in Waco, we were taken to the Mayborn Museum on the Baylor campus. It's a natural history/children's museum all rolled into one. Sorry for the lack of pics, but we were busy trying to keep up with the kids.

Waco Trip #1
This past weekend, Dawna, the kids, and I headed up to Waco. My mentor was celebrating his 30th anniversary of ordination. Our very good friends, John and Carol Linda let us stay with them through the duration. We had an absolute blast!
We arrived Friday evening and immediately headed to Lion's Park in Waco. They have a kiddie park that our children absolutely loved. They wanted to ride everything over, and over, and over. Luckily, they had taken very good naps that day, or we would have had major melt down!!!
Enjoy the pics and video.

Kiera's First Day of School
Today was Kiera's first day of school. She was pretty excited and all smiles to begin with.
Still smiling when we got into the truck.
Got to school, and the smile started disappearing. We could tell she was getting a little timid not knowing what to expect.
Got a little more so when we dropped her off outside her classroom.
It was really quiet at lunch with only two kids. Pretty strange feeling, but I know it will get worse (better?) as all the kids get into school.
Dawna was kind of freaking out waiting for the bus. She was hoping Kiera didn't miss the bus or somehow get overlooked. There was no problem. The bus arrived. Kiera was on it, but she had fallen asleep on the way home. Look closely, and you can see she isn't too happy here.
Dawna was obviously relieved.
We decided to celebrate and take Kiera out on her first day of school. Fortunately, we had been given a gift certificate, and that made the trip cost effective. Kiera really didn't talk much or have anything to say until she had drank a couple of cups of juice and eaten a salad and some rolls. Once the blood sugar was back up and she was fully hydrated, she started bouncing off the walls again. She didn't have must to tell about her classroom experience, but she did inform us that as the bus drove along, a branch hit inside the open windows.
"It was cool," Kiera said.
At least she's looking forward to school tomorrow, but she's trying to negotiate out of riding the bus.
