Natchez National Historical Park has officially been invaded by crazy kids! Today was the first day of the first of four weeks of Junior Ranger history camp for kids ages 8-12. It was my day off, but I went in and worked a little overtime since we were a little short on staff. There were kids getting poked by pencils, spilling water all over the visitor center, etc., etc.--typical Jr. Ranger activities. Sydney is back again this year--she's the one who poked herself in her eye with her water bottle last year. We'll have to keep a close eye on her (no pun intended). Today for lunch I went to this funny little place called Express Po-Boys. Po-boys are basically the Southern version of subway sandwiches. I had a Cajun steak po-boy, and it was awesome! The restaurant is run by these funny ladies. I could here them talking in the back and one of them said, "You don't know how to dance." The other replied, "I do too!" Then the first one said, "Yeah, the 'shake ya booty!'" Typical restaurant conversation in the South. The funniest thing about the restaurant, however, was that behind the cash register, they had this big Mormonad poster--one of the old New Era mormonads like you can buy at the Distribution Center. It was the one about frogs and princes. I was so surprised to see it! I wonder where they got it.
Tonight Angie is going to stay at my house because she has to go to a meeting this evening and be up early in the morning, so she figured that would be a lot easier than driving up to Vicksburg to sleep for a couple of hours and then drive back. We're going to go to dinner somewhere fun this evening, and I'm planning to whip up something for breakfast tomorrow. It will be fun to have her here tonight--much more enjoyable than just being here by myself. I got the house all cleaned up today. Catherine said that the sheets on the beds in the guest bedroom were clean, but I checked them out today, and if those are the clean sheets, I'd hate to see the dirty ones! I've got those in the washer right now. It's a good thing I checked!
