OOPS!

Yesterday was our first day of summer vacation. The Missouri Botanical Gardens happened to be free that day so we decided to go. We had a great time. It was beautiful. They have an incredible glass exhibit right now and the weather was even not horrible. They just finished a huge new children's garden complete with rock climbing, tree houses, rope climbs, water, sand, a play and pretend vegetable store and of course plants. We played for a few hours and then it was time to go home. On the way out we were all hot and tired when we saw this incredible fountain. There were a few kids with their feet dangling in so we told the kids they could get their feet wet too. It wasn't thirty seconds before Bradley was full on swimming through the water and then everyone else was following suit. We kept wondering if it was ok or if someone was going to come out and yell at us. We didn't see any signs until after about 10 minutes we looked to the side and saw a little sign that said "no wading in the fountain". OOPS! We quickly got the kids out and had to take a picture of our soaking wet children (and half of my pants) by the sign. You have to walk through a building to get out of the garden and Mark was scared to death to do so because they were going to see how wet we were. The fountain felt great, too bad we can't do it again.
Does anyone know of a government agency that provides free or low cost childcare. We have two families in our ward for a total of six children that need immediate childcare for the summer and have almost nothing to pay for it. If we don't find something I'm afraid me and the other RS counselor are going to end up with a lot of extra kids this summer. Yikes! Is this what I said yes to when I agreed to serve?
Jennifer, I wish we could come home this summer. It feels like it is time to. We are definitely coming home in December for Christmas again. If someone decides to get married between now and then we could come home for the wedding. Cory get busy. We really miss everyone. I can't believe Andrew and Shannon are really going to move away. Everyone is supposed to stay there until we get back and even then you aren't supposed to leave. Or you can move to Utah until December of '07 and then you have to move back. Not fair.
That's all for now.--Amy
