June 18 FYI will be moving my Blog to a new Domain and URL. I have imported some of the post from my other blog so it is not a blank slate. I am consolidating my personal Blog with my photo Blog. I will not be closing this Blog, but eventually I will stop posting here so Please update your bookmarks and or Feed readers. http://blog.naturesartwork.com/ Bungee Jumping!So yesterday was the big day! We drove up in to the foot hills of Mt. St. Helen's to and Old bridge on privet property. It is the Highest Jump Point in all of the United states. 20 stories tall.
When your rope is at it's fullest extension your head is 15 feet from the water, and on your recoil your head is 12 feet from the bridge.
I was not sure If i could watch with out passing out, As I have a really bad time with heights LOL Dave the sweet heart that he is, found me a spot on the bridge that had trees very close so the leaves made a canopy below me so I did not look so high up. Then I watch the group before ours to test my self LOL. I figured If i was not going to be able to watch I would have to hand my camera off to Dave. Luckily I was OK! I was really shocked, I felt nothing when I watched the people jump. My stomach didn't' flip flop nothing! WOOHOOO for me LOL
So I'm all set up and ready to and my battery starts to die grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So i got lots of shots but they are all a tad blurry becuase of the loss of power! Grrrrrrrrrr. I think this convinced Dave I need to get a back up battery just for such Occasions LOL
The father of one of the other kids brought his video camera. So he will give me a DVD of the events and I'm going to burn him a CD of my shots.
I am doing a series of the shots over at my photo blog so please come on over and take a peek. http://naturesartwork.blogspot.com/ June 16 WOW 8th Grade BBQ!The kids seemed to have a good time! They had a DJ, Snow cones, kettle corn, pop,cookies and snack mixes, fresh watermelon, and of coarse Hamburgers.
What bunch of pigs though! I was shocked with the mess they left behind! I can not believe that they could be so messy and not feel guilty about it!!!!!!!!!
I was talking to the head custodian and expressing my shock at the filth! He said it is always this way when the kids eat!
 They drop their trash where they are or just get up and walk away from their mess. You know if we treated our cafeteria like that when I was a kid, we would not being going to have free time after lunch, we would be in cleaning from top to bottom!!!!!! He said he had tried to get something like that put in place but the school would not work with him!
I guess the poor guy has job security! I still am in shock!
There was a bit of excitement as the kids where dismissing and getting on the bus, On young girl decided she would take her top off and run through the crowd with just her bra on! Now keep in mind this girl is still developing so there was not much there and she had on a full bra so it was no different then looking at a girl in a bikini top! BUT WOW the guys sure thought they had seen something special ! LOL
I am not sure how she managed to have all the staff looking away while she dd it LOL but not one of them saw LOL
So school is out for 2.5 months WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!
June 15 Last Day of school!!!!!!! WOOHOO!Dave and I leave here in just over an hour to go help with the last day for 8th graders BBQ. Should be lots of fun!
Then it is 2.5 months of hanging out with my boys!
I don't have much else to say today LOL I'm moving a bit slow for some reason!
Hope you all have a great day!
Tammy I will get back to your e-mails this after noon ;-) just wanted to let you know I have not forgotten you! June 14 One Day left of school!WOOHOOO! Tomorrow is the last day of school! I love summer! I love having the kids around.
Today Jesse Is having his end of year Field trip, they are at the local Amusement park. Poor kids it is rainy out. But I'm sure they are still having fun!
Tomorrow is the 8th grade BBQ send off. I will be there helping serve up hamburgers to the kids.
Tomorrow also is suppose to be Levi's end of year filed trip but he doesn't want to go. They are going on jet boat rides. Not sure why he is not wanting to go, so he chose to stay back with one of the teachers and help pack up class rooms. What ever floats his boat LOL
I will be having the baby's Over night Friday. Thursday is My best friends Wedding Anv. But since I will be at the school with the kids , I offered to take them Friday night so they can celebrate. This will be the first time I have had both over night LOL wish me luck! LOL
OH and Saturday Afternoon Jesse is going bungee Jumping
About 4 or 5 kids have gotten together and decided they want to do this! I'm so proud of Jesse for being able to do something like this! The thought of doing it thrills me to no end, BUT i know I would never be able to do it. I am scared of heights. and would freak out! NO different then I so want to do Rock climbing but I'm afraid i would get part way up and freak!
I am not making these thoughts on guesses, lets say a few years back I was almost stuck at the top of a mountain LOL i road a gondola up and was damn near ready to be hospitalized by the time we reached the top! My kids had never seen me in such a state and where pretty freaked out! I didn't know I would react such a way either! OY!
It took me about an hour to calm down enough to make it back down, I had to sit with my back to the down ward window and keep my eyes closed the whole way!
I can laugh about it now, but boy back then I was so freaked!
I just hope I can get some great shots of Jesse on his jump!
