Beating the System

Anyone who doesn't like Gillette, hasn't ever lived here, or if they did, didn't REALLY experience it! This place is AMAZING. Chet and I LOVE(D) Casper, it was a great 6 1/2 yrs. But we love it here too. They have SOOOO much money that they make on all the energy (mostly coal) and they give it back to us! The library is amazing, the city grounds are beautiful, the school programs are wonderful, etc. You think if you move to a city half the size, you get half the city, right? No, we have everything but Sam's club and the mall (Bath & Body Works) here that we had there (that I used anyways) Well, my boys are going to FREE, you heard that right, FREE summer programs paid for by the city. These are not slum classes. Fun, fun things. Well, they attend a Gym 60 class, a PE class basically, everyday for 2 hours. Yesterday they came home with pedometers. Really nice ones! They told me that they have to bring back their favorite cereal label and their pedometers to see how many steps they took. Caden decides to run all over the house with his "thermometer" to get more steps. Carson had 3957 within about 2 1/2 hours just doing normal things (no wonder my kids are twigs, I myself try to get 10,000 a day!) Well last night I go down to give them hugs and kisses before bed and Carson is shaking his pedometer as fast as he can. I say what are you doing, and he tells me, "I just found out that everytime I shake it, it adds a step. So I am shaking it as fast as I can." I told him that was not right and he says, "I know, but it's cool!" That would be my Cars. Who cares if it's right, honest, correct, etc. If it's cool, he'll learn it and he'll do it. Gosh I love that boy!!! Carter will do well because he is just smart, flat out smart. Carson will succeed because he will never sit behind a desk and climb the ladder. He will go 100 miles an hour to make just what he needs to play, and then he'll flat out LIVE!!!
