Randomness

So Erin is here in town, and that means fun fun fun. (Ok., it just means that Nate has someone to play with while I sit at my mom's house, and now we have one more person to sit around bored with.) But we have done a few fun things already. We got to fly the kites on Thursday, and then we went to the outlets on Friday.

On Saturday we went to Adventure Park USA. They have a pass that you can buy that will give you unlimited access to the carousel, tea cups, moon bounce, mini-golf and the climbing area. Well, Nate enjoyed following Ben around and sometimes hitting the ball with the club. He was really good at dropping his ball into the cup. Fortunately, no one cared about cheating in this game. He kind of liked the carousel, but not as much as he loved it while we were in Philly last September. He didn't want to get off there, but here, he was like, ok, whatever. He didn't go on the tea cups, because adults were not allowed on, and I was certain he would be scared, so we skipped that. He had fun in the climbing area for a bit, but only in the toddler area, which was a little small. He would not have anything to do with the moon bounce, even when he would have had it to himself. If he had gone in, he would have liked it, since he is so fond of jumping on the couch, but alas, no such luck.

What he really liked was pretending to play all of the arcade games. He has recently figured out how to turn on the PS2, and get the racing game on. He only knows how to make it go forward and backwards, but he loves it. He was very excited to see games that had real steering wheels and stuff. So it was kind of fun, but we probably will not be doing it again any time soon.

So while we were in the car on the way to the fun fest yesterday, Graham was not happy at all. We had to wake him up to get him into the car seat, and he didn't appreciate that. So I'm not at my best, I was stressed, and Graham's constant crying has been wearing on me. Anyway, I'm all in a dither, wondering exactly how long it will be before I am admitted to the loony bin, when Jesse tells me to look back at Nate, and this is what he was doing. He was just sitting there silently covering his ears. I guess he is getting tired of Graham's crying too.

Graham sometimes sleeps with his eyes open. I guess he is practicing to be spies like both of his grandpas.

And these are just some cute pictures of Nate and Graham and Lizzie. So there you have it, that makes it a bit random. Tomorrow we are going down to DC. Erin's kids need some culture. I hope we survive. Then we'll have a few days to recouperate before we head down to Baltimore to do the Science Center. So it should be fun.
