I did:

• Ate Rice Krispies for breakfast with a little extra sugar.
• Played on the swings.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:  

• "I bet it's a mommy butterfly." "Why?" " Because it's big. So it's probably a mommy...or a daddy." (upon seeing a butterfly)

I did:

• Saw a deer.
• Borrowed a net to catch bugs. Caught an acorn and a worm.
• I ate broccoli and pineapple for lunch... two of my favorites!
• Went swimming even though it was cold and swam all by myself!  Daddy was proud.
• Spent most of the day at the park(playground).
• Colored with chalk.
• Played Wii Bowling and got over 100!!!
• Got glow in the dark toys (even a wand!) at campfire and kept trading with my friends.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:  

• "I don't want to smell you." (when Daddy crawled in bed to cuddle with me this morning... he still smelled like the campfire the night before)

I did:

• I woke up after refusing to cuddle with Daddy.
• I spent a lot of time playing with my friends at the playground.  I even played four corners this morning and was a cheerleader when others were playing.
• After lunch, we went swimming at the pool, even though it was a little chilly.  Luckily I had a warm towel to cuddle in to warm up.  I also got to talk to Mommy on the phone from pool side. 
• After dinner, we went to Vespers then we played water games outside... we played with water balloons and a slip n slide.  It was fun!  I got so soapy that I had to take another shower this evening.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:  

• "I'm in the bath house.  I'm in the boys bath house.  I love the boys bath house." (while in the bath house with Daddy)
• "Loofah, loooooooooofah!" (singing while showering)

I did:

• I woke up around 7:00 at camp. 
• I ate breakfast then went to VBS.  I returned with a bag of goodies and sunglasses.
• We had pizza and watermelon for lunch... Delicious! 
• I napped for two hours.
• I played on the "beach" and made sand castles.   I waded in the water too.
• After playing in the water, Daddy thought I needed a shower for some reason, so we went to the bath house where I was quite entertaining. 
• After dinner, we watched Frozen as part of the program.
• It was a great day and I was very happy hanging out with my friends all day!

Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:  

• "Let's have a tooth brushing dance party!" (to Faith, Alexis and Samantha...  we played

I did:

• I woke up and cuddled with Mommy for a bit before starting to get ready for church.
• I wore a beautiful pink dress and my sparkly sandals to church. 
• Our new corps officers were there and we had a luncheon after church... of course I ate my tomatoes and carrots first. 
• We came home, packed the car, and Daddy and I hit the road toward camp.  I had mixed reactions because I was so excited to go to camp, but wished Mommy was going too.
• We stopped in Fairmont to pick up my cousins, Shane and Alexis, then headed the rest of the way to camp. 
• Once there, I ran, played, caught lightning bugs, played with the hula hoop, and went to campfire where I climbed rocks and sang songs. 
• It was a fun day and I can't wait for the rest of the week here.

Alyson's Antics of the Day:

I said:  

• "Thank you for bringing us here." (to Daddy after we left the picnic and after we left the theater)

I did:

• No one woke me up early this morning.  I did wake up yelling for Mommy and Daddy close to 7:30 because I had a bad dream (Daddy says that's just my current excuse).  He brought me into bed with him and Mommy to sleep a little longer.
• I had yummy muffins for breakfast then played a little.
• We got ready and went to a picnic for Daddy's grotto.  It was far away but was on the river.  I had fun splashing and trying to catch "little fish" with my hands.  I was hoping to actually swim there with Daddy, but we were in a hurry since Mommy and Daddy had another surprise stop for me.
• We went to the Old Opera House where they were preforming The Wizard of Oz.  I was so excited!  I even got a flash magic wand to use when Glinda was helping Dorothy go back home.  I whispered to Mommy when things were slightly different from the movie and was so excited, but a little nervous about the witch.  After the show, I got my picture taken with several people from the cast.  It was great!
• After dinner at Panera on the way home, we came home and Mommy and I played games that I made up and even made silly names for (Mommy couldn't remember the names of them).  One game involved using a bungee cord like a fishing hook to pick up round green field markers and another game involved looking through and pretending to wash lots and lots of Easter eggs.  I even found a dollar in one of the eggs (I didn't know Mommy snuck one in there).
• We played outside for a short while and Mommy and Daddy cleaned out the car.  I used a lint roller to pick up a pool noodle and yelled "JETPACK!" while running with it.  Daddy said I was "Mommy's girl" when I did that.
• We spent the rest of the evening relaxing and even got a bubble bath. 
• What a fun and exhausting day!
