  • Skylar Birthday – Lexington

    We were on our 3rd trip of the summer for Skylar’s birthday. Our stay at the Yogi Bear campground was awesome minus the scrapes from the first day where Tweedle Dee (aka Skylar) decided to jump off a moving golf cart and subsequently crashed face down – minor scrapes only. Tweedle-Dum then decided he was smarter and could pull it off and he subsequently did the exact same thing but got some nasty road rash on his buttocks.

    Yes, I wrote “buttocks”.

    Nana and Poppa D hosted Skylar’s birthday and we played a round of corn hole. It was a beautiful and fun evening had by all.

    We prepared Skylar (and Daddy’s) favorite cake which is angel food with chocolate whipped cream topping – NeNe’s recipe (my grandmother and Nana’s mom).

    We also spent a night at the Col Alto Hampton Inn. The kids enjoyed the fancy amenities and played a round of chess while drinking their hot coco a la sassy.

  • Lexington – camping & parks

    The highlight of camping for the kids was probably the marshmallows and jumping from one pack and play to the other from 8:30 to 9:30. So much for an idyllic setting of sitting still and listening to the crickets and watching the stars. The following day we went to this amazing park that was right next to the house.

    They had a mud pie making area, gold panning stream, narrow winding trails covered with vines like from a fairy tale, and we got to taste some freshly squeezed (as in squeezed right in front of us) apple juice – awesome!

    The theme of the day was “Do they dare go…” from the Berenstein Bears Spooky Old Tree book.

  • Lexington

    Last weekend we went to Lexington for a camping trip. Friday night we stayed at Nana and Poppa D’s. Parker was fascinated by the tractors and the ‘firetruck’. I’m guessing the lights on top of the rollback and the fact that it was red made it a firetruck.

    Horace – sorry if you never find your keys again, Parker is kind of a klepto when it comes to keys…
