Anybody want a Kitten?

We almost got a new kitten today.

Steffi, Phil, and I took Meredith to her softball game. We walked past a van on our way to the field and saw a kitten on the dashboard. I was kind of concerned. But the windows were down a little. Actually, that concerned me too because they seemed to be pretty far down. Not enough for a dog to get out but kittens are pliable and I just hoped he couldn't get out.

So we sat down on the bleachers at the game and pretty soon another lady shows up with the kitten! She found him playing in the grass by that same van and was worried he would get run over so she picked him up and asked us if he was ours. I said NO! but by then Stephanie had already wrangled the kitten from the lady so I sent her out to ask people around our complex if it was their kitten. She asked me if we could keep him if he wasn't anybody's.

I said no. (Like there is any way I would just leave a kitten to starve to death by himself.)

Luckily, she found the owner. And she had a great little adventure so she was happy.

Later, I saw her carrying a branch around and a couple of little girls were following her carrying their own little branches. She's a leader, she is.

Camp

Phil and I dropped the 3 older kids off at camp on Sunday at 4:30. Stephanie's counselor got her involved in a game of 'Duck, Duck, Goose' right away and the other two just wandered off to their cabin mates so Phil and I left while the leaving was good.

We picked Stephanie up this morning at 10:30. Then we took the long way home. We stopped in Tobias to play at the park and have a picnic. Then we drove home thru Western, Wilbur, and Claytonia before getting back to Lincoln.

Here is what Stephanie did at camp:

I rode a horse named Belle. She was yellow with a white mane.
I got to go in a canoe.
I went to a campfire and we got to sing.
We jumped in tires or else we would fall in the mud. And I fell in the mud a couple of times.
We were balancing on a log and the grown-ups helped me.
We had to fall backwards and the grown-ups caught us.
We did a balance beam and had to make both of the sides not touch the ground.
I got to go inside the petting zoo and pet two llamas (a brown one and a white one), a donkey, two cow babies, a mother cow, and lots of horses, and a baby horse.
And we went to the gift shop and the camp shop and I bought a cool fan!

There were 5 little girls like me in my cabin and we washed our feet in the water. There were leeches in the water so we had to do it fast. It was okay, no leeches bit me.

My counselor's name was Breanna. When I couldn't find my shoes at night and I had to go to the bathroom, she gave me a piggy-back ride.
