Logan's here!

After a very long trip to Amarillo and back yesterday, Logan is here safe and sound. Our trip was very uneventful and did I mention very long? We took Duke with us as I didn't want to leave him home unattended all day and he did fantastic. We had to wait about 30 minutes for Logan and her dad to arrive, which is nothing unusual and we were running 20 minutes late. I just couldn't get it together to get out of here in time. In fact, I had to run back to the house because I forgot my phone. Normally I would have just left it but the van had been overheating and Jeff had fixed it the night before. He said the ECM?? modulator thingy, the part of it that runs the fans was out so he had to run a relay system to get them working without having to buy a whole new modulator thing because they are very expensive. Long story very short, it's fixed, the van is running great and we had no trouble with it on our trip. Anyway, I wasn't about to get out into the middle of nowhere and have the van break down and no way to call for help. Thank goodness I didn't have to use my phone for that purpose.
Today I took the kids to Rainbow Pool, just up the street. It is so hot here, and the kids were dying so up we went. I hate going to public pools for a number of reasons. First, it is expensive. Second there are way too many people there, and Third I worry about what might be floating in the water that we can't see. So to fix that problem, we went and got the kids a small pool that they can play in here. Hopefully sometime this summer we'll be able to get a new liner for the big pool and get it set up for them.
These are pictures from today. The waterslide is called the Miracle Water Slide, so named because it's a miracle you can get enough momentum to make even a small splash when you exit the slide. That is Logan making the really big splash in the 4th picture down.
