It was another busy weekend in our household and if you asked the kids about it, Anna would probably say she had fun picking numbers for a game and got cake while Jack will simply say “Boat.  Fun.”

Friday afternoon Anna & I went to my parents house and then Joe & Lori’s house.  Anna fell asleep about 20 minutes outside of town and woke up 2 hours later!  After dinner she went for a walk with Grandpa and learned how to make a snap dragon snap.  At around 1 a.m. we were still awake, but in bed, and she told me she wanted to go home.  At 7 a.m. she told me it was time to wake up and that’s when she got to see Lori and then help get the house ready for a party.  The promise of cake might have been a bit abused during the party to keep her from going crazy, but I know I had an enjoyable time and I hope everybody else did.  We came home Saturday night so we could go to the Sugar Creek Arts Festival on Sunday.

When we pulled into the driveway around 9 pm, Damion & Jack weren’t home yet, which Anna was not happy about at all.  About 10 minutes later I they pull into the driveway.  I open the door to get Jack out and with big eyes he simple says, “BOAT!  FUN!”  They spent the early evening boating with Derrick & his kids and Damion said he spent most of the time with a death grip on Jack so he wouldn’t jump over the side (yes, Jack did have a life jacket on).

Sunday had a really slow start to it and by the time I got off the couch to look at the weather report one of two events had to be cancelled.  So we did not go to the Sugar Creek Arts Festival but instead we went to Peoria to look at replicas of the Nina and Pinta.  The what?!?!  Replicas of two boats that are reported to have been part of Christopher Columbus’ voyage to America.  Pretty interesting to see how small they were and amazing that anybody made it safely across the ocean.

Today was a relaxing day at home that allowed for me to put pictures in the gallery throughout the day and caption them too!  Tonight Anna & Damion went for a bike ride while Jack & I played at a park next to the trail.  Funny part of was watching Jack run by Anna, who was on her bike, and run faster than Anna was pedaling.  Now, to be fair Anna takes about 5 minutes to get comfortable on her bike.  Even funnier though was that Jack ran around the entire pond with a toy car in his mouth.  Oh well, neither kid fell or got hurt so it was a good day all around!
