In Bluffton

7.7.2008 — 3 Comments

Got into Bluffton yesterday afternoon! So good to see my girls again after 9-days of separation!

Today we enjoyed the Ft. Wayne Children’s Zoo with Mom and Dad Garrett.

Tomorrow we have breakfast with Derek and Christin Carpenter and lunch with Grandma Garrett and then we’re off back towards home. We’re stopping for the night in Valpo at a hotel with a pool to enjoy some family-time before getting back to our crazy Summer schedule that is looming over us.

Before I lose consciousness tonight after an exhausting week of camp, I decided to fast-forward through some of the hours of DVR’d shows that were recorded while we were away. NBC’s “Baby Borrowers” was on the list immediately following “America’s Got Talent”.

Let’s just say that this show is ridiculous.

Obviously the producers have chosen couples that would “make good television” to attempt to care for a child for a mere 3-days and then take on the next-level of adolescent and continue on through senior-citizens.

The show views like an imaginary episode of “Captain Obvious”! Teens and babies that aren’t their own equals phrases like “this is tough” and “I’m stressed”. Watching the teens struggle through their first-night alone with the babies wasn’t even entertaining – it was disheartening.

I will probably give “Baby Borrowers” another episode or two before removing it from the DVR schedule.

We are home from camp. Exhausted, but home! Here’s the final video that I finished editing around 1:30AM this morning before going to bed for a few hours:
