Jacob turned 13 last week. Wow..two teens in the house. Since his bday fell on Memorial Day weekend, we let him choose what he wanted to do for vacation and we waited until Tuesday to go. He chose to go back to Carowinds and the Great Wolf Lodge. Josh and I tore up Carowinds. We rode Fury 4 times, once in the front car. We rode every other roller coaster twice. Most of the time we walked right up or just had a 5-10 minute wait. There was one coaster that took 40 minutes but still that wasn't bad. Jenna made Jake's bday cake. We also got to do Ikea and I already can't wait to go back. Maybe I will take a day trip by myself this summer.
We finished school and had the awards banquet. I always love to see everyone dressed up. Sometimes I hate hearing the same child called up for every subject (they give awards to the top person in each subject). I always enjoy the other awards like the spiritual ones or the leadership ones or the ones that show the Southside spirit. I got a notification that Jenna would receive an award. I wasn't sure what it could be. I know she usually gets straight A's but I know there are kids in her class that have a higher average than she does. I didn't tell her about it but she thought she could possibly get the Latin award for highest average. We wondered what it could be once all the spiritual/athletic awards were done. But then came sports and that is what she got. She got the most Christlike for her bball team. Thankfully when I was getting pictures, Jack was able to get the video of it. I wish I had Jenna's heart sometimes.
