Livin' In Luxury

A week or so ago, we were able to meet Grandma Jill and Grandpa Ronnie in Columbia for a quick overnight while they were visiting Alex at school. We stayed in a hotel, and Logan thought this was very cool. We ate pizza for lunch and swam by the pool, but then it was time for a nap. Before going to sleep, Logan thought he need another piece of pizza - while sitting naked on the bed, of course. He sat there for almost 20 minutes, didn't move, and ate the entire piece, looking happy as a lark.

Beautiful Day : 024

A Jungle Adventure

While cooking dinner tonight, Logan informed me that he wanted to go on an 'Adventure.' He had already packed his backpack and was ready to go. I told him to grab his adventure hat (having no clue which of his hats he'd grab) and decided that dinner could wait.

Initially, he looked at me, assuming I should know, that we would need to go outside for the adventure. Duh. So out we headed into the 100 degree heat on an 'Adventure.' He started out walking through the jungle (yes, the photo above is the jungle he so courageously trudged through).

I was then told to 'get rope.' I decided that the twine I use for gardening would have to work since it's what I had handy.

We needed the rope to climb the tree. Yes, Logan said to me, 'Use rope. Climb tree. On jungle adventure.'

So we tried to make it work.

But as you can imagine, climbing a tree, with no low climbing branches and with a very skinny piece of twine just doesn't work out so well. Logan was a bit disappointed but we agreed he would head to the park to find some trees to climb with Dad tomorrow - he seemed happy with that, and overall had a pretty adventurous 'Adventure.'

Summer Vaca - Part Deux

Part Deux of our Summer Vaca was just as much fun as the beginning portion! Logan had lots of fun in the sun and water while at the Lake! Granny Franny and Papa D were able to spend the entire week with us as well. Logan took his very first 13 hour boat trip to the other side of the Lake and did great. Thank goodness his bed was on the boat we rode because he was worn out!

It was forecasted to rain all week and other than when we made our initial arrival, we were lucky enough to miss the rain all week. Well, other than the two times we had a slight mist, which meant we were able to see not one, but two rainbows!

Logan discovered buried treasure in the Pirate sandbox from his Lake neighbor friend, Audrey - so fun!!

Logan made two new friends, "Pinkie" and "Greenie," who were a part of an 8 foot swimming pool he received for his birthday from Aunt Carla and Uncle Dennis.

The pool not only included Logan's new friends but a waterfall and slide too!

And the trip wouldn't have been complete without multiple wave runner rides. This time, Logan tried out riding in the tube behind. He wasn't as thrilled as we thought he'd be though. Not because he didn't like the tube, but because he wanted to be on the wave runner pulling the tube the whole time!
