May Cont.

Not that I was much of a regular blogger before, but free time is pretty much non-existent these days. This fall will mark 10 years since I took my first college class. I have been meaning to go back to school ever since I stopped taking classes 4 years ago. When I read that some credits can expire after 10 years I knew it was either now or never (or just repeating classes I already took, which I do not want to do). So, back in January I started taking classes again. Reading, studying, and homework are now consuming any free time I had.

Anyway, back to May. Paul's grandma, whom the boys and I had never met, was in LA for a few days, so we made the short trip up there to visit. My mom was still here visiting so we got a couple hotel rooms and figured it would just be a fun little getaway. The first morning we woke up and Bentley's eye was a little red. He was rubbing it so we figured it was allergies or something. It got worse and worse and worse to the point that I just knew he had pink eye. That whole afternoon and evening was spent on the phone arguing with our insurance company, then trying to find an urgent care center that accepted our insurance, and then at the pharmacy.

He did not want me to take a picture of it so that's the best I have. The next day we had to head back home so Paul could go back to work. So we only got to visit with Paul's grandma for maybe an hour total, but it was nice to meet her. Chance was his usual laid back self and didn't complain too much as long as someone snuggled with him while he slept.

Before my mom left we had to check out the Wild Animal Park. We had never been there before. We all had fun and Bentley asked to see the giraffes first thing again. Some of the animals you walk by and see them in their enclosures, but a lot of them are out in this big field. We rode the train around to look at all of them.

You could pay A LOT, A LOT of money to ride out there and feed the giraffes. How cool would that be? Bentley would absolutely love it, but you have to be 6 to do it. So, maybe someday. Or would he pass for a 6 year old?
