We didn’t bring a brush and Josie’s hair was a mess, but mom fixed it into this pretty style.

Josefina and Cecile–still thinking I was the favorite–sat away from me. I was really hurt by this. I and NOT the ‘favorite’,” I told myself. “You’re hair is just easy to style and you look great in most outfits. It’s Josefina’s and Cecile’s decision to feel jealous and horrible.” but no matter how many yummy cherry sours I stole from mom(hehe) or how many songs I listened to(music’s my thing, ya’ll) or how many times I told myself it was going to be OK, I still felt horrible, and my tummy hurt all through the night. I couldn’t sleep without a warm body next to me. I felt cold all over. It was haunting me. My sleep escaped me–guilt paraded me–it’s like I was being eaten alive.

—————–

The next morning I felt somewhat better. We drove to see a 77 foot tall cross in Kerrville. Look it up–the story behind it is truly a miracle!

Madison – MOLLY MCINTIRE GET DOWN FROM THERE!
The radio was playing “Rooftops” by Kim Walker-Smith! BEST. WORSHIP. LEADER. EVER<3
It’s. So. Tall. 0.0 77 feet and 7 inches, to be exact.
Read this! We made the picture bigger so it is easier. ISN’T THIS AWESOME?! :O
So true….except, mister person, you forgot your last “s” at the end of “Jesus”. They spelled it “Jesu” XD
I’m finally back in the car–only to face the angry faces of Josefina and Cecile. “Why did YOU go get to see it and not us?!” they raged.
I just guiltily watched the McKenna movie, that haunted feeling coming over me again.
We stop at Buc-Ee’s to re-fill on cherry sours XD
MMM-mmmmm! XD
More pictures from the McKenna movie.
It’s over now.
When we are back at the hotel, I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open.
Mom did my hair (we didn’t bring a brush XD)
Then she went swimming!
The next day, we went to Buc-Ee’s again, and mom was so busy with swimming they hardly had time to take pictures XD
The next day, we’re going home! YAY! I liked vacation and all, but it sure was cramped, and I wanted to go home and get this favorites problem solved.
We’re in the car!
The McKenna movie for the THIRD TIME?! XD
Woah, I think we just captured the best screenshot ever XD

Click here to watch a video of a guy on the radio reporting about traffic XD
Let’s just say, when you travel to a hotel for two days, a beach house for a week, a hotel for a day, another hotel for two days and then driving back home 200 miles again, with LOTS of swimming in between…it gets cramped.
Did we say we just captured the best screenshot ever? we were wrong. take a look at this one XD
Just like in this screenshot, I feel blue. I don’t know how to explain to Josefina and Cecile–I’m NOT the favorite. But they won’t listen. :'(

As soon as the chorus, “Breath In, breath oooooouuuuutt!!!!” of the song during the time in McKenna’s movie played, I knew what I had to do. “Cecile,” I said, bravely. “let’s talk.” “Yeah…?” asked Cecile. “Why do you think I’m the favorite?” Cecile looked down. “I didn’t mean to accuse you of being the favorite,” she said quietly. “I’m sorry ’bout that. I was just jealous cause mom plays with you more cause you look amazing in most outfits and your hair is so easy to style. I shouldn’t have been that way. I have my place in long dresses and curly hair. You have your place in modern clothes and lot’s of hair styles. Forgive me.” I wanted to hug Cecile. She didn’t mean all those rude things after all! “That’s totally OK!” I told her. “I felt jealous when she got you and Josefina, too, cause she played with you a lot because you were new. But, that was your day. I’m not jealous anymore!” Then we both hugged, the grin on my face bigger than McKenna’s. Josefina said sorry too, for being so rude about the favorites thing. I hugged her and said it was oK.
