Memories from Today:

Had a nice sleep in my own bed!  I watched a little tv this morning and relaxed.

Mommy took me to Chick-fil-A for lunch and play.   It was fun!  I even found two rocks and hid two others. I even decided to give the two rocks I had found away to another family that was there, but not before having Mommy take a picture of me with them.

Mommy and I went to the new pottery place in town.  I painted a kitty bank and Mommy painted a small bud vase.  It was fun but I got frustrated at the end when I was touching up the kitty's face and neck and the orange color wasn't quite even.  I blamed Mommy since she suggested I add more paint to the neck.

Spent the rest of the evening at home. I had play time with two of the neighbor kids, played a card game with Mommy, and read a chapter of Harry Potter with Daddy.

Memories from Today:

Woke up at camp, packed, and headed toward the house.  We dropped off Alexis at her house on the way.   Daddy and I stopped at Arby's for lunch. They were out of kids toys, so I got a milkshake instead.  I was very happy about it!

As soon as I got home, I ran and gave Mommy a huge hug!   I missed her!  Camp was so much fun and I'm glad the rain held off until we were driving home.

Mommy took me to the park, but due to the recent rain, there weren't many people there.  I was disappointed.  Mommy and I ended the evening with a little shopping and relaxing.

Oh, and I almost forgot... Mommy got me the coolest toy from a yard sale while she was in Ohio.  It is a Project MC 2 journal and bracelet that opens the journal.  It also talks.  I love it!!!

Alyson's Exciting Day

·I looked for bugs and crayfish under the bridge at camp. I found a large painted rock. I had daddy take my picture and I left it for someone else to find.

·I played in the river today with my friend. We hopped from rock to rock and then went swimming in a small pool. It was a lot of fun.

·While daddy played volleyball, the little kids had a water gun fight. We had a small pool to keep filling up our guns. Then, we chased each other around the field.

·I finished the evening with watching Pete's Dragon under the stars with my friend. I let her share my blankets.

Alyson's Exciting Day

·Woke daddy up at 7:40 to tell him I was going to ride my bike until breakfast. After breakfast, I played a little with my friends before having morning worship with daddy and Alexis.

·After lunch, daddy took me swimming. I only stayed a little while because it was cold.

·After dinner, we had water games in the field. I played kickball and caught water balloons. We also had a slip and slide.

·I sat in daddy's hammock during most of campfire. It was very relaxing. We ate s'mores after campfire. Then, we finished off the evening by playing Wii. We played Just Dance and Mario Kart. I even won a game of Just Dance.

Alyson's Exciting Day

·Daddy woke me up around 8:00 this morning. We packed for camp and then picked up Alexis. We had to head back home to finish packing a little more, then we drove forever to get to Cowen. We did stop at a few yard sales along the way to make it less boring.

·We arrived at camp with just enough time to unpack and go to dinner. We had spaghetti! Then, I rode my bike around camp and played with new friends.

·We had a carnival for evening activity. It was okay. I got frustrated with the crowds and lines for games. I also didn't win every time. Campfire was a lot of fun, though.

·After campfire, I rode my bike some more, and then played flashlight tag with the older kids until 11:00. Daddy said I can get up with the sun and go play some more.

Alyson's Exciting Day

·I woke daddy up around 8:30 and he made me waffles. After a couple episodes of Barbie, I helped daddy fold clothes.

·We got dressed and went shopping for snacks for Family Camp this weekend at Cowen. Then, we picked up a pizza and headed home to eat lunch and say goodbye to momma. She is attending her cousin's retirement ceremony. He has served over 20 years in the Air Force.

·Daddy and I played some Lego Batman and then went out to run more errands. When we got back, I played with several of the neighbor children.

·Since we finished the game, daddy and I started watching Pirates of the Caribbean. We had to start on the third one because we couldn't find one or two. Then we started packing for our trip tomorrow. We finished the evening by video calling momma. I spent most of the time playing with filters on Messenger with my cousin Izzy.

Memories from Today:

Daddy woke me up a little early this morning, but I didn't mind since I was excited for my adventure with Mrs. Clark. 

During our adventure, we went to Antietam battlefield where I got to become a Junior Ranger.  I even had to take an oath.  I got a certificate, patch, and badge. I was very proud! 

We went to lunch at Olive Garden where I worked on my "homework." 

We went shopping.  I helped her and she got me a huge bucket of Double Bubble bubble gum! 

We ended our time together with ice cream.   I love spending time with her!

Back home with Mommy, I helped her make desserts for a party and then we played Go Fish until Daddy got home.  I spent the evening playing video games with Daddy and helping him play trivia.  It was fun!

Memories from Today:

After a restful morning, Mommy decided we should go for a hike,  even if it was raining off and on.

She drove us to the local nature preserve where we hiked two different trails. I loved it... except all of the spider webs that we walked through.  I was even okay walking through them until I actually saw a spider on one that was in my face.  I screamed bloody murder!  The rest of the hike, I let Mommy lead the way to break up the spider webs.  Along the way we saw a few cardinals, a woodpecker, a fawn, and lots of mushrooms!  It was great!

We stopped and ate dinner, went to Goodwill where I tried on what Mommy called "Punky Brewster" shoes," found sandals, and 28 books that I loved!!!  Mommy then went to Nutter's for ice cream... yum! 

The rest of the evening was spent playing video games with Daddy and taking a shower.

I can't wait to spend tomorrow with Mrs. Clark for our adventure!

Memories from Today:

Spent most of the morning and afternoon running around in my underwear.  It was a lazy day at home, to say the least!  I watched a little bit of my horse show on Netflix and then Mommy and I played animals with my stuffed animals.  We took them on a "vacation" to go camping in the living room and foyer and took them "swimming" on the coffee table covered with a blue blanket.

Mommy took me to Chick-fil-A for dinner and I got to play with a few friends there.  It was so much fun! I even got a yummy peach milkshake!  We went to Hobby Lobby before heading back home.  We got some materials to make jewelry for a craft.  I can't wait!

Mommy and I cuddled on the couch with the pets and watched The Greatest Showman again.  We both love that movie!  Right before bed, I decided to start one of the jewelry crafts even though Mommy and Daddy said it probably wasn't such a great idea...  I ended up with glitter all over the place (and all over me!).

Memories from Today:

Mommy and I skipped church today and headed to DC for the day.  She drove to Shady Grove and we rode the Metro into the city.  I love riding the Metro!

We went to the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It was a huge building.  I thought it was strange that such a big and fancy building would have video games in them for today's event.  Mommy seemed very excited about today's special event, SAAM Arcade.  We got to play old video games, new video games, and even new video games in old game systems.  We had a great time and even got to meet some of the game designers and talk to them about their games.  While we were there, we looked at some of the art as well.  There was some really weird stuff, but also some very cool things too.

The highlight of my day was eating dinner at the Shake Shack before heading home.  I loved the strawberry milkshake!!!   For the most part, the rain held off and only dumped when we were driving and when we ate dinner.

We got back home right before 9:00.  It was a full day of fun with Mommy!
