Mommy Camp-Camp Patmos

Daddy left to get the kids from camp on Friday night. So we decided to head to Camp Patmos early and meet them there!

On the way we got donuts for lunch. They are one of my favorite kinds, chocolate with Bavarian cream! We listened to the “Great Emu War”. It was good! Then I dozed.

Mark and I got to go swimming. Mommy went swimming too! I was attempting to catch lightening bugs before bed. I got to sleep in a hammock near the woods. It was fun and quiet!

On Saturday we saw the kids! We got to sleep in hammocks by the water. Mommy has not done that before! She has never slept under the stars, in a hammock by the water.

Then we had to come home on Sunday. It was good to see Andrea.

Mommy Camp (Wed & Thur)

I invented a new game. One person stands up high (on the patio) and throws an airplane down to the other person. The other person tries to catch the plane. You do it back and forth.

Mommy almost caught it three times, but needed to move faster and jump. But she did really good throwing it.

We did art often. One day we painted pictures–I will share that later! Then we made crayon art. Mommy and I cut out a black paper picture. Then we glued it on to a canvas. Then we melted crayons on it!

Mommy taught me how to make bread. I made a cinnamon loaf. All Mommy had to do was knead it.

When Mark got home, we had a water gun fight! Then Daddy joined in when he got home.

On Thursday, we filled water balloons and Mommy got soaked! Both water fights were fun in their own way. I want to do it again!

Potowatomi Zoo 2019

On Tuesday, Grandpa and Grandma took Jonathan (my cousin) and me to the zoo. We saw lots and lots of animals. I wanted to see the okapi, but it was not out.

We got to ride the carousel.

Momma liked the tiger. Especially when it saw a small dog walking and it perked up on the other side of the window from us.

Grandpa liked the Bobcats

Grandma liked the alpacas.

Jonathan liked the turtles and the “animal train”

I liked all the animals and would have enjoyed more time to explore. I also really liked the ice cream that Grandpa treated me to.

Mommy Camp 2019

Last week we had Mommy Camp! We had lots of fun.

The kids had to leave very early. Daddy woke me up when it was still dark. Mark kissed me goodbye and went to work. Then Daddy and the kids left.

Mommy really wanted me to go back to sleep. But I did not go to sleep, I was hungry so I ate a fresh cinnamon roll with maple frosting. That woke me up!

We painted our door sign and then we went to my dentist appointment. After the dentist, Mommy treated me to chocolate croissant and a smoothie for my “second breakfast” or early lunch.

We went to Hobby Lobby to find some art ideas. We did find some water balloons to play with later. Then Mommy taught me to make bread and we painted. Then Mark came home and I attacked him with a Nerf gun.

We took a bike ride before dinner and then Mark had fun showing off for me.

It was a fun first day!

P.S. I did not go to bed early 🙂
