My brother Bobby was giving me a hard time about going on vacation over the weekend.  I told him it is NOT a vacation when you spend 4 consecutive days with his mother, brother and sister. 

Just returned from Columbus Ohio.  Took my Mom and brother Roger to see my sister Nancy and her family for the weekend.  Nancy has been there over 20 years and this is Roger’s first trip to Ohio since Easter 1968 when we visited my Aunt and Uncle who now live in Washington state.  Nice weather, showed Roger the town, celebrated my birthday on Sunday, the big 54 for those keeping track.  Roger usually travels west to Colorado or New Mexico where his friends live.

Carter informed me last Thursday that he has “magic powers.”  He proved it at the stop light when he went 3 2 1 green and the light turned green.  Of course it didn’t help that Papa would coach him at future lights and it worked every time.  Hopefully he won’t try to fly next.

I think Kenzie is hitting another growth spurt.  I needed the Table spoon to shovel the food in fast enough on Thursday.

Carter attended the Lion King last Thursday with his mom, dad, NaNa and PaPa.  His head was on a swivel when the animals marched in to start the show.  He cried when Mufasa died and confused bad uncle Scar with his good uncle Scott.  He was a little cute when it went dark, “is it over?”  I was a little suprised at how many younger children were there and a little worried that Carter wouldn’t know what was going on.  His mom did a good job of explaining how the theatre was going to be different that the dvd.

Robins are back, Sandhills are here and the first long walk of the year with both kids today.  Carter had to walk the whole way, about 4 1/2 miles up to the school bus and back  because Kenzie was in the stroller.  Kenzie was way easier in the stroller than Carter but we still need to add air to the tires so they are not flat on the bottoms.  Kenzie went to sleep on the walk and both of them were sleeping before we left the house for Appleton this afternoon.  Probably aren’t sleeping at all tonight.

Carter walked through every puddle on our walk.  Why do you do that Carter?  Because the dogs do.
