Damena! (more)

Where in Eastern Iowa do you kids go to camp? I am going to get the Harry Pooter book tonight also, I am SO excited! I live in Eastern Iowa, that is why I was asking.. anyways let me know how your B&N Harry party goes!! ~Julie

Kids are near Brighton as we speak...sorry I didn't get back on here sooner...They go to camp at Lake Darling. It is always hard to drop off, I prefer picking them up. This is the first year for my youngest daughter and of course I was sobbing my head off. I know her older sis will take care of her but it isn't the same as me. Since I have surgery this week I think it scared me more to have them so far away. They know all about the surgery and we have talked openly about everything that is going to happen. My 8 year old gave me a hug and kiss and said "It's ok mom, we will pray for you" That was right before I rolled the window up. I will not be able to go and get them and that is my favorite part. Well enough of that, I know that isn't what you asked. The Harry Potter party was different. Kids of all ages were there dressed up. My son decided he was more interested in "Thomas the Tank Engine" and left us as soon as we got there. We were too late to join the festivities but it did give us a change to see what we were up against fan wise. We ended up getting to B&N before they opened on Sat. to a line of about 30 people waiting to get in to buy the book. I read it to them on the way to camp. I have to get it read totally before they get home and I have a lot to go. Anyway.....only 3 days left...and I am a LOSER!!!! See ya...D
