I watched bits and pieces of Last Comic Standing (I love stand-up, too - separated at birth, once again!), but they voted my favorite off, so I'm done.<br />2. I laughed so hard when I read about Turken on facebook! And "hubba hubba"? Oh, that boy!<br />3. Fantastic! Especially for that freshman girl! She's a peach!<br />6. Giant has really grown up this summer!<br />9. I have no doubt Cuckoo was ruthless on the bumper cars! And I love the pure glee on Turken's face on the roller coaster! And that Cuckoo thought he could grow 4 inches just by turning 5!<br />Glad your knee held out!Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-22731384677062262782014-08-11T23:42:24.926-04:002014-08-11T23:42:24.926-04:00I'm having issues with Blogger this week - arg...I'm having issues with Blogger this week - argh!

At least someone was in the store with you! After having knee surgery, I cringe at the thought of hip surgery. How unpleasant that had to be!<br />It is so funny that you mentioned the grocery store scooters. When I first had surgery, I told the kids I would have to use one when we went to the store. They said they would not go with me if I used one. It would be terribly embarrassing they said. They would have left me high and dry at the back of the store if I had a scooter that died. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-58422600296943564002014-08-10T20:03:42.670-04:002014-08-10T20:03:42.670-04:00Ha!

The little kids won't have such a fear, seeing as how they are getting this exposure and having fun. Hopefully your cousin will get the nerve to go on some rides and enjoy them someday.<br />The bumper cars were awesome, mostly because they didn't have pedals. The kids just had to steer.

We are getting into the 80s again, just in time for the pools to close. So aggravating.<br />The kids didn't know until we were in the car. They knew something was up, since I told them to make sure they had things to do in the car. Awesome that you wait until they see the place. I couldn't keep the excitement to myself that long. I knew how happy they would be, so I told them almost as soon as we got in the car.<br />Thank you!
