It has been a busy couple of days and I don't have internet at the house so I will give a huge update and hopefully add some pictures once our first guests arrive with my camera cord!
We hit the park right away Thursday morning and the pool on Thursday afternoon. The kids here just go to the pool on their own so I was the only adult there watching her kids, it was a little weird, but the pool director said I would probably buy into this small town thing soon and it is a good independence builder for the kids to go on their own. Anyway, the pool was actually pretty cold so the girls stuck to me pretty tight but I told them they could go play or we would leave (I know not so nice, but they weren't going to make any friends sitting by me.) They met a little friend and then got brave and went down the slide and jumped off the diving board. That night they found a few little girls that lives right around the corner. The one little girl is the exact same age as Kylie, with the same birthday! Kylie is a head taller than her so they don't look like it but they have a lot of fun.
Friday we went back to the pool with their little friends and once again I was one of the only adults, and this time the girls decided they would try the HIGH dive. They both did it at least twice. I don't even know if I would dare do it. Later when I went to go get the girls from their friends house their parents are sweet as can be! We ended up going out to the lake with them and tubing, yes, both of our girls went on the tube and loved it! They are new girls here in Nebraska! We had a little boat trailer trouble and our new friends were a great help!
Saturday we got the keys to the new house so we checked it out and went to McCook to get a few things for it, Monday morning we will start taking wall paper off and get things measured for some new flooring! I took a picture of the thermometer by the bank today it said 111. It is a dry heat though I think it feels like you are standing in front of the oven, I love it! We had to go to the pool at night to show Daddy our new tricks too.
We visited the congregational church this morning, it was small and nice, we might try the Methodist next week. Thats what I have for now, I have to go see if the girls made more new friends, they were scoping some out before I left.
