Wake-Up Call

I was in the middle of riding Sydney as if she was a horse on some unknown campus, trying to figure out where the science building was for the final I never prepared for when all of a sudden - strobe lights and woop-woo-woop. What?! Oh, some sort of emegency - yes, that's the fire alarm. Blessedly, it was around 7:45, so not too early, but John was having everyone get dressed so we could, what? - evacuate to the ocean? In the back of my mind, I even wondered it if it was a tsunami warning. With our vacation luck (strokes, step throats, Angora Fires) nothing would surprise me.

Just as we got to our pool chair location, it all stopped. It was a false alarm, sure enough. At least it yanked me out of the annoying dream sequence - last several nights have been rather stressful for my sub-conscious.

As "alarming as that was" - this is what the Schillings woke up to..... BRRRRRR!


Here's some final shots of special moments here that I haven't otherwise posted about.....
This is a "re-enactment" of exactly where John and Brayden had "the talk". Yes, birds and bees sort of thing. John said it was just awesome- Brayden was ready and handled it super well.
This is Mikayla in her tent the day she got diagnosed with strep and was told she shouldn't be submerging underwater. She drew pictures and played with her webkinz under there.

Mr. Lizard - trying to attract the ladies by puffing his throat out-

This would be Brayden's first big efforts at photography. If you note the cord at his side, he used the remote to snap the picture just as he threw a spiral to John. And, btw, John did catch it....

And, here is the Riley Pharmacy that we had going on to try to fix all of our maladies....

Pretty self-explanatory - the girls in the pool--

We miss you Whites!

One of the pics of just John and I-

A very appropriate final parting shot.....
