I knew it.
Our summer is winding down. Our tried-and-true “squirting the kids with a garden hose while they jump on a trampoline” is always a hit.
Ian! Lord of Water Droplets!
Water tastes good!
Would you trust this boy?
Extreme closeup!
Arg! I have an ingrown toenail that I have been dealing with since a teenager. Every now and then it really flares up and hurts like the devil. I’ve had my toenail cut off before, I should probably do it again. Very painful!
Since Incredi-Mom is a teacher’s assistant now, we can park at the church and enter through the side. It’s kind of like sneaking up on the school and not the grand front entrance.
First, Janet shows us her classroom. I always knew Mrs Beall was a star, now I have proof!
Janet’s official ‘desk’. Emily approves.
Outside, lines form quickly for registration. The PCS Cheerleaders help with directing families where to go.
Next we went to Emily’s classroom. Exciting!
This is Emily’s teacher Mrs Tedford. She was Ian’s teacher’s assistant back in first grade.
Back in the big room, we get our folder that tells what teacher(s) and classmates Ian and Keighly will get.
From there you circle around the lemming line signing up and/or purchasing things the you may need for school.
Once we complete the big room roundabout, we went to Ian’s classroom to visit his teacher.
Ian has Mrs Braswell, who was also Keighly’s third grade teacher. He also got his best buddy in the same class, Jacob. I hope Mrs Braswell is ready for them!
Ian’s desk, right up front by the teacher. Good move, Mrs Braswell.
Ahh yes, the dreaded ‘Traffic Light’ system of behavioral control. Any wrongdoing and your number gets moved up to the next color. Keighly went ahead and moved Ian’s up to RED.
Back upstairs in the main building, the main hallway is filled with people looking for their lockers and homerooms.
Keighly finds her locker and stuffs it with her materials.
In Keighly’s 6th Grade homeroom, she notices a dragon on the bulletin board right by her desk.
Back outside, we run into Keighly’s friend Lindsi.
One of Keighly’s favorite teachers is her math teacher Mrs Rowe. Here Keighly and Ian are goofing off with a frog puppet in her classroom.
We welcome our next phase of life: all children in school and mom back to work.
Yay! Ian, Keighly, Emily, and their friend Michael.
When the slide didn’t really work as well as they thought, the trampoline quickly became popular.
Attack!
Splashdown!
What adventures you can have with just 10″ of water!

In the swimming area they have a ‘blob’, where one person sits on one end and another jumps down to launch them in the air. Here, Manning is fixing to launch me!
There I go! Whee! Well, not so ‘whee’, more like ‘aaaaaaaaaaaaa!’ I got launched here by Rusty, who did a much better job than Manning.
Suddenly I couldn’t get Harvey to start. All symptoms led to another fuel-pump problem, but I hated to drop the tank again. After trying everything else, I dropped the tank and pulled out the fuel sending unit. Sure enough, there was the problem: the hose going from the fuel pump to the fuel line had disentegrated from being submerged in gasoline (see above). I guess it is designed to have fuel flow through it, but not actually be IN fuel.
I lucked up and found an exact retrofit for the whole sending unit. I had been looking for awhile, but only found fuel sending units that fit the Econoline Van, not an RV based on an Econoline van. I saw a post on a forum about this specific model, and sure enough it was an exact match! I installed it, and Harvey started up without any problems. I hope I get 20 or 30 years out of it, I don’t want to drop that tank again.
I saw this handbag in Kohls. I declare it the ‘Ultimate 80s Handbag’. A neon colored boom-box with cassette and graphic equalizer? Very 80s!
The Incredibealls!
