Update On The Dimitri's

Hello everyone, it has been a while since I last posted an update. So here is what has been going on with us here in North Carolina. Kaylin is doing great, she has been staying pretty busy this summer, so it has made the summer fly by. Kaylin has been spending time with her friend from school, which has been great. They have a lot of fun together and they never fight or argue, which is a relief. I also have been to her house and watched her baby brother who is about 4 months old. He is so adorable and it really makes me want to give Kaylin a baby brother or sister. I miss when Kaylin was a baby, time goes by too fast. About a month ago, my dad had a horrible accident. He was helping a guy fix his boat and they were sucking out all of the old gas to clean the tank. The boat would not run right because there was so much junk in the tank. Well, all of the sudden, the boat exploded. My dad was on the boat when it happen and was either thrown off the boat or jumped off. Thank goodness, he walked away with a burn on his arm and his hair was burnt a little bit. It could have been so much worse. When we went to look at the boat, so I could take pictures, I could not believe that he walked away from it. Here are some pictures of the boat.

A few days after the boat accident, we all went to Deadwood. It is a little theme park near us that is actually really cool. It has a train ride, a mini roller coaster, a restaurant, and a mini golf course. They also have a playground. We had a good time going there. Kaylin had fun, so that is all that matters. Then I treated my mom and dad to dinner at the restaurant. We all got steak for dinner and it was sooooo good. Not as good as my dad's steak, but really good. Here are some pics from that trip.

Me and Kaylin just got back from Florida yesterday. I took Kaylin to Universal Studios for the first time and we had a blast. We went on almost everything, except Jaws, it was broken all day. Kaylin was smiling and laughing all day, so was I. It was so good to see her so happy. It was so funny during the Beetlejuice concert. Beetlejuice is a crazy character and he was picking his wedgie, then he went up to Kaylin and asked her to smell his hand. Kaylin didn't know what to do. But we laughed so hard when it happened. After Universal, we went back down to my home town to my best friend Jeanne's house. It was her daughter's first birthday and I was so glad that I was able to be there for it. We had so much fun with them. We went shopping, swimming, had the party, and spent time together. Kaylin loved the baby so much, I know she would be an awesome big sister. Overall, it was an awesome vacation. The fun never stopped and I wish it didn't have to. I miss my friend so much, we have been friends for 15 years. There is no one else that I can talk to like I can with her. Well, that is about it for now. We are now getting things together for school to start again. I can't believe that school starts in 3 weeks. And I am starting school also. I am finishing my degree with the local University. I am nervous, but excited at the same time. I will post again soon after school starts to keep everyone informed about how everything is going. Here are some pics of our awesome vacation.
