The Toy Taker

Where is the Toy Taker? I told my kids when they were younger that if they didn't pick up their toys that the Toy Taker would come when they were sleeping & take their toys. Where is he when I need him? Recently my daughter's room has got out of control with the toys laying around. Yesterday I took on the challenge to clean her room. Before I started I asked God for his help. "Dear Lord, Bless This Mess. " Then I started. Where do I put these toys? On the bed for now. Then I thought, " What did I get myself into?" "Someone has to do it." So then I continued with trash bags ready for any broken toy. It filled semi quickly. I just hate cleaning the rooms of my kids. Where is the Toy Taker that I told them would come when they where younger? Did he retire? Where is he? Toy Taker, HELLLLLLP!

The Things We Do For Love

Whew! What a weekend. Saturday started out at a family reunion. (The hubby's side of the family.) It was great to see all the out of towners. Sad to say that we only see them for weddings, funerals & Christmas. The theme was Christmas in July. The kids made Ginger Bread Houses & decorated stockings. Comic Relief This is the comic relief of our family. I'm sure there is one in every family. He found a puddle of water to roll around in within 15 minutes after arriving. He also decided to go & see the horses in the woods with my son not too far from the picnic area. They both were told to return to the picnic area, my son listened but Comic Relief did not. He remained in the woods screaming, "Can somebody help me. There are pricklies here." So my husband went into the woods (after pointing out ther poison ivy to my son.) My husband returned from the woods with the Comic Relief in his arms. I started to laugh when I noticed that the Comic had no shoes on his ...

Led Zeppelin, The Ride

What an experience!

Welcome to the Hard Rock Park !

Image
The Hard Rock now has a theme park located just off of US 501 in Myrtle Beach. The theme park opened this spring & has many things to do for all ages. The parking lot & park lacked the typical crowds. This was an advatage, we parked close to the enterance & we were able to ride the lines over & over again. I guess you can contribute this to it being the first year & tourists are set in their ways of visiting the same attratctions likeBroadway at the Beach & Barefoot Landing. The park has several different theme sections: Rock & Roll Heaven British Invasion Lost in the 70's Born in the USA Cool Country Favorites: Led Zeppelin - Located in Rock & Roll Heaven. My son's favorite ride. This rollercoaster that sends you 15 stories high, 65 mph and loops six times, all set to Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". Video cameras are in each car & records every emotion of the experience. Maximum RPM - Located in the British Invasion. My daugh...
