Alyson's Exciting Day

·Woke up this morning and ate breakfast with grandma. Then, we headed to mommy's school. I helped mommy by sorting through her desk drawer. I found 25 cents and mommy let me keep it.

·After working at mommy's school, grandma and I went back to her hotel so I could swim. I had a blast in the pool and there were several kids to play with.

·We went to Olive Garden for dinner. I had lasagna. Then, we ate desert at Sweet Frog.

·Daddy picked me up this evening and we went home and watched a little bit of The Road to El Dorado. Then, daddy read some more Harry Potter while I ate my bedtime snack. We are almost caught up to grandma.

Memories from Today:

Woke up in the hotel room with Grandma.  Before I had fallen asleep, I made myself a fort (igloo-shaped) over me on the bed.  it was still over me when I woke up.

I helped Mommy and Grandma at Mommy's school but still got a little bored.   I decided to make post-it note messages for lots of different people who work with Mommy.

We spent the afternoon/evening swimming and playing in the hotel pool and doing a little shopping with Grandma and Mommy.

I ended the night with another hotel sleepover with Grandma.

Memories from Today:

Spent the morning chilling with Daddy at home until Grandma stopped by to get me.  I had made a "Welcome" banner for her. 

Grandma and I went to Mommy's school for a bit then Mommy finally finished her meetings so we could leave.

Grandma, Mommy, and I went to Chick-fil-A for an early dinner and then went to bowl.  Duckpin bowling is fun but challenging!  We didn't use bumpers and I scored a 40 the first game and a 43 the second game. 

After a little shopping we headed home to pack a few things so I could have a sleepover with Grandma at the hotel.

Alyson's Exciting Day

·Woke up this morning and quickly got dressed, ate breakfast, and packed for the zoo trip today with church.

·Had a great time at the zoo with my friends. We got to see a lot of animals. I hid a couple of painted rocks. The group also took pictures in front of the park statues and we acted like meerkats.

·Got home after seven. Daddy and I relaxed on the couch and watched some television. I can't wait to see grandma tomorrow.

Memories from Today:

Woke up early to go to church, but decided to wait for Mommy instead of going early with Daddy. While Mommy got ready, I made "goodie bags" for my friends.  I also made prize tickets for some of the bags and used some of the stuffed animals I no longer want as prizes.

After church, Mommy and I grabbed a quick bite of lunch then headed to my friend's birthday party. It was supposed to be a pool party,  but due to the weather it was moved inside.  They did reschedule the pool party for the end of the month hoping for better weather.

At the party, we played outside,  ate yunmy food (I ate a lot of fruit), and even played a couple games.  I was the star of the pinata... I hitchhiked it hard and they actually had me finish it off since I was the hardest hitter.  Everyone there told me and Mommy that I should be playing softball.

Relaxed at home most of the evening. It seems strange to have Sunday night where I don't have to get ready for school.

Can't wait to see Grandma tomorrow!

Alyson's Exciting Day

·I woke up before 8 again this morning. Daddy seemed less than excited about it. We grabbed a quick breakfast from DQ and then went driving down some old dirt roads. I loved it because they were bouncy and muddy. We ended up at Sharp's Tunnel on the Greenbrier River Trail. It was cool to walk through the old railroad tunnel. We also walked across a long bridge and checked out some camping spots.

·Afterwards, we went back to the birdhouse and packed and cleaned. I also ate some watermelon as a snack. Then, we started towards home.

·We stopped briefly at Greenbank and toured the visitors center. Daddy kept talking about wavelengths. I liked all of the hands-on activities.

·We finally got home around 5. I told momma all about our trip and how I want to take friends with me next time. Then, daddy and I watched Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets. I recognized a lot of parts from the book.

·We finished the evening with a shower and the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Alyson's Exciting Day

·I woke up before 8 this morning. Daddy didn't seem very excited about that. But, he got up and made us pancakes for breakfast. Then, he cut some more grass while I watched the birds.

·When we left the Birdhouse, we took a tour of southern Pocahontas County. We stopped for a picture at the Pearl S. Buck house and the Gesundheit Institute. I wasn't too impressed with those, even after daddy explained them to me. But, then we went to Beartown and walked through the rocks. It was so cool. Daddy asked if I remembered being there before, but I didn't.

·Next, we went to Cranberry Glades. Daddy stopped at the Nature Center, but I didn't like it. There were stuffed dead animals and creepy snakes. So we left and walked along the boardwalk instead. I kept hoping to see animals, but we only saw some minnows and some fish.

·Finally, we stopped at the Falls of Hills Creek. I found a painted rock on the way down to the lower falls. At the bottom, daddy and I climbed down to the water fall. The wind kept blowing my skort and the mist was cold. Then, we had to climb 362 stairs back to the top. I let daddy know how I felt about every stair.

·Back at Dave's we played a while in the creek. I found a couple of cool looking rocks to take home. The water was cold, but I even got my hair wet.

·Daddy's friend, Seth, stopped by. I was shy and quiet the entire time he was here.
Daddy cut a little more grass once he left. I helped by moving bricks and wood. I got a little dirt on my face while I helped.

·We grilled for dinner. BBQ Pineapple Chicken, corn on the cob, and potatoes and squash. It was delicious.

·We watched the fireflies put on their show once it got dark, and then started Harry Potter over.
