Christopher - Week 3

So another summer with Christopher has come and gone. He left us yesterday. My friend Renee had come into town and was kind enough to drive him back to Louisiana where he was going to spend a week with his mom and her family. The drive back was quite the ordeal. Renee got a blow out about half way to Louisiana and they got to enjoy a visit from Triple AAA. Poor Christopher! His flight here had issues and his ride to leave had issues. We can only hope that next summer the transportation is improved.

This week was another fun week. I got to spend some time with Christopher - just him and I. We went to play Bingo one night. Neither of us won but Christopher was pretty disappointed as one game he was one away from winning when someone else called Bingo. When he looked up to see what the next number was, it was his. He was so close to his first ever Bingo win. Maybe next time! I also had Ms. Stephanie come babysit one afternoon so him and I could go see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was a very good movie! And, of course, as our summer tradition, we played many games of Rummikub. This year, I was the champion. Better luck next year, Christopher!

On Friday we decided to take him to eat anywhere he wanted. He chose Buffalo Wild Wings. If you've ever been there, you know it's a sports bar type atmosphere with lots of TVs and action. Apparently, it was too much for Reese as she would not stop crying - loudly! Jason ended up leaving with her while Bailey and I stayed for the goodbye dinner. Later Jason took the boys to play Lazer Tag - which is always a treat.

To add to the fun of his last weekend, we haven't had rain here in our area for about 2 months. Saturday night Mother Nature decided to not just let it rain but pour. The power went out at our house and everyone evacuated to Christian's. Christopher definitely cannot say his last weekend here was uneventful.

We really enjoyed his visit though. As always, it came and went too quickly. We miss you already!!!
