Catching up on the blog after our Kentucky vacation with the Deans & Riches (Sarah's Memories)

We stayed in two cabins across a lake in Slade, KY.

One of the cabins had foosball.

We hiked up to Natural Bridge

And played baseball

And water squirters.

We mixed and mingled

And roasted marshmallows

And sang around the campfire.

We fished off the dock

And threw 'em back.

All enjoyed sipping drinks on the porch

Including an inch worm

Which ooched on Dorothy.

We ate twice at the State Park Lodge

And tried on coon skin caps.

We had fun makin' faces

Not sharing our ice cream

And visiting the North Carolina Arboretum on the way home.

Watching kids at the neighborhood pool jump off the diving board: "Look! The kids are disappearing!"

Squeezing Mom: What is this?**
Mom: Those are ribs.**
Dorothy: I wish I had ribs.

Using an ice pack after she busted her lip: I want a new ice pack. This one has ketchup all over it.

Dad: Would you like me to read you a book?**
Dorothy: No, tell me a mouth story.

Big Daddy: Have you ever ridden a seahorse?**
Dorothy: No, I don't know how to read.

Sarah, seeing cousins David and John wrestling on the floor: Boys, didn't your mother tell you to stop wrestling?**
Dorothy, watching with excitement from a bed: But I told them to go wrestling! [pumps fist in air.] Go! Go wrestling!

Dorothy, pointing to a woman who washed her hands in a public restroom [loudly]: That lady didn't use any soap!

Sarah, fumbling from the front seat with the buttons she couldn't see on the travel DVD player behind her: I'm not sure which buttons to push to make it work.**
Dorothy: Pwess pway.

Dorothy, watching previews on a DVD: Hey, they are saying all the movies I like!

Sarah, looking at Dorothy shivering in the pool: Dorothy, your lips are blue.**
Dorothy: They are blue because I am swimming in blue water.

Sarah, looking for an excuse to accompany a screaming Dorothy back to bed: I'm going to go to your room because I need to take care of some things.**
Dorothy: I need you to take care of me.

The Sunday Funnies

Dorothy: I want to make hot chocolate.**
Sarah: How do you make hot chocolate?**
Dorothy: Pour the milk in a cup. Stir it. Put in chocolate and stir it. Put in the sugar and stir it. Put it in the microwave. Beep beep beep the microwave.

Dorothy had reported on Tuesday that some kids at school were saying things to her like "No you can't play with that toy", etc.**
On Thursday, I sent her off to school and reminded her that some kids would be happy today, and kind, and some will be grumpy and grouchy.**
She replied, "I will hug the grumpy kids. I will hug them."

We have a plastic cheese grater that we let Dorothy use. Taking out the cheese for her to grate, Dad referred to the "sharp cheddar cheese" and Dorothy corrected him to let him know that "It is not sharp. You will not hurt your finger."

Jumping on a bed with Mary Claire, in June: "This is the best Halloween party ever!"

Brian began playing a contemplative piece on the piano. In three progressive motions Dorothy lowered her head to her chin and said, "I'm getting sadder."

About topiary dolphins in a garden: "Look at those tree seals!"
