Hi, I'm KK, Jagger's Mommy: Summer 09 Has Arrived! :)

Last week was a LONG week. Jagger was very sick. Because he is never sick, this made me very paranoid. I kept thinking he had Rota Virus. Though I have no idea really what that is, I have a friend whose little boy had it, and he had to be hospitalized and have an IV. The thought of that made me so sad! I went from thinking it was the Rota Virus, to thinking he may be Lactose Intolerant. It seemed that EVERY TIME he drank milk, he Puked! UGH! BUT as of today, he is feeling better. And is even keeping the milk down. I suppose he just had a stomach bug. Which makes me feel a lot better.
Here is a picture of my Big Boy feeling all better :)

Saturday we took a family trip to the Game Farm in French Creek, WV. It had been almost 10 years since I had visited the Game Farm, and could not wait for Jagger to see all the animals!
When we arrived. We had a picnic while watching the Elk. They were HUGE! And kind of ugly! lol Jagger thought they were neat.
Then we headed back up to the trail to see the other animals. Jagger had a brief, but very disruptive, moment of displeasure! Ya know, those times when you pray no one sees your kid acting that way (in public) and hoping that if they do they can at least sympathize and not judge? Good times! LOL And in this case, he was flipping out 10 feet from a HUGE Mountain Lion that I swore was going to be as irritated as I was and jump through the fence and attack us all. Simply because Jagger didn't like the fact that we stopped his stroller at precisely the incorrect time? If the Mountain Lion had eaten us because of my son's outburst, I would have been thoroughly angry! Anyway, after the slight disturbance, we moved on. Before we reached the next animal, Jagger had passed out in the stroller. This is the part of parenting when you are faced with conflicted feelings. Part of me was thrilled that he fell asleep and wouldn't be crabby anymore (lol) and the other part of me was sad that he was going to miss all the animals. That didn't last long, I was happy that Tom and I could at least enjoy this much of the trip! LOL.
Some of the animals we got to see were: Mountain Lion, Elk, Bald Eagle, Hawks, Bob Cats, Wolves, Coyotes, Wild Boars, Owls, and my favorite - the Black Bears.
here are some pictures of the animals.

Saturday night, we had company. Jen and Philip, some friends of ours from Charles Town, had a wedding to attend in Morgantown. After the wedding they came to stay with us. It was so nice seeing and visiting with them. Sunday we got up, visited some more and then headed to Coopers Rock for a picnic. It was a beautiful day. A little hot, but nice nonetheless.
Here are some pictures from our day.
