Wake up and smell the coffee…So I did. Wow what a morning. It was actually cool outside. Yes I mean like not hot. Sherri and I poured us a second cup and enjoyed the quite for some time before she had to get ready to go to work. She is working in Frisco this morning and had to be there by 7:00.
Sherri got up and went to shower and change and I did a post on the computer. It was not too long before I heard my little buddy talking to his Maw Maw. Well my day is about to get real interesting. I have to get him out of there so Sherri can get ready.
I got the chocolate milk and the cartoons going and then I got myself ready for the day. Sherri left about 6:15 and Kris and I settled in to watch Disney Channel. Not too long after Sherri left she called to tell me that she was coming home. Evidently someone had already done the work she and here co-worker were assigned to do. Hey that is great we can do something today.
Sherri decided to get her hair cut and then we went to Wally World to buy some hooks and worms for fishing. Oh yes Kris has never been fishing and I wanted to be the first to take him. When we returned to the Park we ate our lunch and then I took Kris to the playground.
This was not the place I wanted to die at. I hope that from now on I will remember this day…but I wont…
Sometimes I think my mind must slip out of gear and run backwards for some reason I have not yet figured out way. Kris wanted me to slid down the slides with him and when my mind is running in the correct direction I would say no I will watch you. But for a moment in time I had lost all rational thought processes and I agreed to slide down the slides and chase him up and down the ladders. After the third time down I found myself at the bottom of the slide paralyzed and unable to move my extremities. This is normally a feeling I have when I wake up in the morning. Here I am in the late afternoon frozen in position at the bottom of a kiddy slide in a Park loaded with people that have more sense than me. OH please God let me get up and walk away from this. Don’t let this be where I die…not on a slide with my grandson hollering come on Poppa lets do it again. Soon I found the strength way down inside of me…you know that strength you find to raise a car off of a person trapped in a life and death situation. I got to my feet and looked around to be sure no one was filming this event and limped over to the park bench to set down.
Kris all the while was still running up and down like the Energizer Bunny and I spent the rest of the time thanking God that he delivered me from this situation without a call to 911. All was well again when Kris remembered the fishing worms and wanted to leave to go fishing.
Kris waits for that first strike!
Yes Kris caught his very first fish ever and Poppa and Maw Maw were there to help him. We took pictures of the event…and to think I almost missed this.
This is the first fish that Kris caught…yes there is a fish there…look hard
OK look hard and you can see the fish I caught
What a fun filled day and Sherri was here with us to enjoy this adventure…

Only fish I ever caught in my life was in my aquarium:((
Wow - just another action filled day. I sure hope you make it through Kris' visit in one piece!
Holy Mackerel look at that whopper that Kris caught... Yeah for you little fella... And poor grandpa... I could picture you at the bottom of the slide and YES I am sorry... I laughed! Sounds like you had a fun packed day with Kris & Sherri... Hope you survive all this.☺☺☺
Have Fun & Travel Safe

Once again you made my day with your humourous renditions. Hahahaha
What a wonderful time! I use to catch fish with raw bacon, it's neat. Glad Kris caught one, that will be in his memory forever. I'm glad you were ok from the slide. Not a youngster anymore, Speedy.
