The weather was so nice, we had supper out on the deck, which Daniel loved! I had requested a few things I was craving, and one was Hy-Vee chicken and noodles. Sadly, they changed the recipe and added peas and mushrooms. They were pretty gross. None of us liked them.
That night we went to Indian Creek to go on a walk and hunt for bugs (although, I'm pretty sure the bugs were hunting us). It was a lot of fun though. By the time we finally got back in the car it was almost 8:00, which is Daniel's bedtime at home! Then we had to do a bath, so little man got to stay up until almost 9:30!
On Saturday we went to Noelridge Park to play and have a picnic. It was another beautiful day, and Daniel was able to run off some energy! We threw rocks and sticks in the water, walked on the trail, played on the playground, did stomp rockets and ate lunch!
I figured Daniel would take a great nap that day. Nope! Couldn't get him to go to sleep at all, so I gave up and put him in his pack n play to fuss and cry for a half an hour before Mimi took pity. She brought him upstairs and told him he had to lay on the couch and rest. I kid you not, that child laid there for an HOUR. He didn't talk. Just laid there. It was a miracle!
Had another supper on the deck...and another meal of my choice. Salsa chicken, and oh man was it good!
Then, Mom and Kendra and I went shopping at Kohls, where yet another miracle occurred. I tried on 4 things and all 4 things look great on me! That never happens. So I ended up with a shirt, maxi dress, skirt and shorts. Heck yeah!
Daniel went to bed early that night, and besides waking up once for a just a bit, he slept for 12 hours. Hallelujah.
Sunday morning, Mom, Daniel and I went to visit Great Mimi and Sugar (the cat). Sugar doesn't like many people...and Daniel was no exception this time. He threw a ball to her and she went nuts hissing and growling. He backed up, but thought it was hilarious too. What a kid.
Got the kiddo to actually nap, and then went shopping again with Mom and Kendra. Then we went out for supper at Outback for Kendra's birthday. The rest of the night was spent playing outside at Mimi and Pa's house.
Memorial Day, we went to the new trampoline place, AirFX. They had a junior jumper time slot where little kids can jump with one adult. Daniel has issues with new things and also I think some sensory issues. He was a bit overwhelmed. Cried when I tried to put the special gripper socks on him. He didn't want to try anything. Kendra was going to jump, but I finally stole her socks and hopped in the block pit, in hopes of coaxing him in.
I most definitely got stuck.
He finally ended up really liking the basketball.
I think the rest of the day we just chilled and then Tuesday we headed back home.
I'm always sad to leave, but it's always nice to get home too. Plus, I'm pretty sure we're heading back for the 4th of July!
