I haven't blogged in a long time, so I thought I should at least update the summer events. We mostly just hung out. Lizzy spent a lot of time riding her bike at our house and the neighbor's house (they are kind enough to let her play with all their toys). Poor Liz was stuck at home a lot because pregnant mom was too tired to do a lot of things we normally do. Despite that, we did get out to do some special things.
#1-We went to Silverwood! It's something Allen and I have wanted to do for a while, and we thought it would be a special thing for Elizabeth to do while she's still an only child.
We got to stay at a hotel (Sleep Inn), and I'm not sure what this says about my home, but when we got in the room she said "Wow! Nice room!" She and daddy really enjoyed the continentabl breakfast. You can't see it very well, but her face is covered in powder from donuts.
One of the first things we did was take a train ride around the park. I had forgotten that it's a train ride and a little show, so it got kind of boring, but Liz LOVES trains, so she was pretty happy.
#2-Lizzy and Allen went on a Daddy - Daughter camping trip!
I really had a hard time being left alone without my family, but it was a really special thing for them. Lizzy caught butterflies and played with other kids. She is a real daddy's girl. She wants to do whatever he does. Every night Allen gets home early enough, the go play in the yard, he drives her around in the wheel barrow, and we go pick "peases" (peas) in the garden. No night is complete without peas before bed time.
#3-We went to the lake-swimming and FISHING!!
She was very into fishing. She got a Dora fishing pool-which is of course a big deal. Allen had a great idea and he tied a Dora star to the end of her line, so she was catching STARS when she was fishing. She has gotten pretty good at casting and reeling in. I have gotten pretty good at untangling line.
#4-I got HUGE!
