Cruise to Mexico

October 16th, Saturday. Sailed out from Galveston, Texas on the Carnival ship Ecstasy for five day cruise. Sailed to Yucatan Peninsula. Day three in Progresso Mexico. On Monday took an hour and half bus ride to Uxmal. There got to climb a Mayan temple and see Mayan ball game court. You don't want to be the winner in Mayan ball games. Third day the ship travels to the island of Cozumel. Take a submarine 100 feet down to see the coral reef.

On the ship there is food , food and more food. Four buffet lines in back of ship. Ice Cream 24/7. Girls loved Camp Carnival. Thursday back to United States and customs line. Hey they let us back in.

Our cruise director was not named Julie but Brad.

Oh and yes Hailey did get her stitches out on the ship. The doctor took them out and did not charge us for her services.

Hailey Attacked by Concrete Floor

October 12th, 7pm. Tuesday. Open house today at Fletcher School. All the girls had their fair share of energy power bars today. I didn't see them eat today but then again they never eat much and always have tons of energy. Hailey decided to run around her classroom. As she was making the turn around a table her feet went out from under her. Her chin decided to be first hitting the classroom floor. That is when the blood starting coming out of the inch or more cut in her chin. 7:30pm visit to AM/PM clinic. Sorry but you need to go to the ER the doctor tells us. Five minutes later Comanche Memorial Hospital ER. Eight o'clock in to see doctor. Six stitches later and a $650 bill (before insurance). The doctor informs us that the stitches need to come out Sunday or Monday. Uh, we will be on a cruise ship in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico.

Hail Storm Hit Lawton

October 10th, 2010, Sunday, started out as a quite evening. Then at nine o'clock something unseen for months appeared. Rain wait that's not just rain that's hail and more hail. It looked like it snowed outside. The hail came down so hard that it caused the rain to back up into the garage. Great, another inch of standing water flowed in. Emergency action required a causeway to be created for the water to flow past the garage.
The girls slept during the hail storm.
