Danny Studying and the Bouganvilla

This is Dan's latest kick. He goes gets some books and paper and starts copying out of the book. Here he has a ruler also. He says, "I'm studying for middle school." I hope he keeps this up all summer as he reads and writes, both of which he needs to keep practicing.
The bouganvilla is looking good this summer.

Yesterday, Jeanie, Danny, Molly and I went to the Balloonfest. Molly had her friend McKenna with her. Molly and McKenna bought the $15 arm band to ride the rides. Jeanie, Danny and I walked around and enjoyed the activities. There was a juggler and unicyclist (on a 10 foot unicycle), dog show, children's tent with free face painting and crafts. The National Guard had an area for kids that was free. Games and a big climbing wall. We each had a couple, yes a couple, of Hawaiian Ice's. They were SO good and refreshing!! Then later Dad and I went to visit Dave K at the hospital. He was doing amazingly well! No ventilator and he is now able to eat ice chips. He was able to visit a little with us. Pauline wasn't there but we than met her in the hallway and visited. She is thrilled with his progress. He is on an insulin drip and that is the only reason he is still in ICU. Once they can get him back on his regular insulin they will move him to a regular room. Heading to the dentist with Jeanie and Danny.
