Last Full Day

Mr Messy started the day with his breakfast in the diner again, and afterwards he and NA Artifact friend came up to the house, so that they and Drama Teen could have their last shoot! Little Prince showed off his pop gun and was very pleased that NA artifact friend was impressed :-) NA artifact friend brought a Colt 45 for Mr Messy to try, but unfortunately it kept misfiring and they couldn't fix it.

In the afternoon me, Mr Messy and Cabbage Queen took the three kids down to the town pool, where they played and splashed for about an hour, while we baked on the side of the (outdoor) pool!! After swimming we went to a sports bar to eat lunch, unfortunately I was so hot and bothered that I was quite grumpy with the kids - sorry. I felt better after we'd eaten :-)

When we got back to the house me and Mr Messy had a nap, him in the reclining chair and me in bed! Then Cabbage Queen took me and Mr Messy to visit the relatives who got married last week. Mr Messy was supposed to take photos of their three kids, but unfortunately only the wife was in and didn't know when everyone else would be back. We chatted with her for a while before driving off so that Mr Messy could take photos of a very pretty iron bridge. He also managed to capture the river looking so still it was like a mirror!

When we got back to the guest house we started getting everything together to pack. We hadn't realised we'd shopped quite THAT much!!! Mr Messy was getting increasingly grumpy about the whole thing and in the end me and Cabbage Queen went to Walmart (again!!) to buy another suitcase!! We have also filled four or five boxes of things that we are going to ship home!!
