90 degrees!!

Aw, yes.  90 degree is always welcome.  I find myself complaining about the 60 degree coolness of night, but when I talk to my mom and snow is mentioned, I realize how much of a baby I can be at times!!  Today was no day for me to complain about the cold, it was over 90 degrees!  

Sabbath started early, Leah and I woke to help with children's sabbath school.  I told the children's story in church, which I took from Dwight Nelson :) (it was his penguin story... they're online).  We took off right after church to get as much sun baking in as we could for the day!  We usually stay for potluck, but today was different.  We jumped on the motorbike with Amanda, 3 people on a motorbike is not legal, but oh well, and we drove to Warren County which has an amazing hotel with a beautiful pool.  We enjoyed sunbathing and swimming, it was just us girls for most of the time!  

After sunbathing, we stopped by Moon River on the way home to feed some fish.  I had no idea they were going to be so big!  It was a huge herd of fish moving upstream.  It was 
crazy feeding them because they fought over the food.  I was terrified from all their thrashing, I think I even saw some small sharks in there! Yikes!!
Our last stop was at a hair salon where we had the most amazing head massages.  They washed our hair 3 times, it felt so nice.  The massaging part was nice, but my lady kept scratching my scalp and I thought I was bleeding!  She kept scratching the same spot over and over, I kept thinking "Am I supposed to enjoy this?"  I really tried to keep my face straight, most of the washing felt good, just not the repeated scratching of the scalp!  

While she had been washing my hair, she kept scrunching it.  I don't know if she noticed
that my hair was curly or not, but she definitely  created quite a tangle.  When I got up and sat in the chair to have my hair done, I was astonished at the sight before my eyes.  I have never seen my hair with so many knots in it.  I kept laughing, I felt so sorry for my hairdresser, she had to get them all out before she started doing anything with my hair!  They must have used half the 'tangle-free' spray, poor people probably thought my hair was disgusting.  It took quite a while for them to get all
the tangles out, but they did.  And the end result of everything was amazing. They straightened my hair so well!  I've never had my hair so straight in my life.  It feels really good to be able to run my fingers through my hair. Yay!
