Cole is practicing casting with his new fishing pole.
Cole and Alexis get help from Great Grandpa on a puzzle.
Alexis helps Aunt Christi make some biscuits for the strawberry short cake. YUM!
The kids love being outside, and sleeping in their bunk beds (though they are side by side next to each other not up and down). Not too much of a fuss about food and Mickey mouse pancakes every morning! We also all went with Great Grandpa, Grandma & Grandpa and Aunt Christi to the memorial day ceremony at the cemetery. Cole and Alexis decorated Great Grandma's grave with LOTS of dandelions that they picked. Cole thought that the 21 gun salute was very cool. Especially when Great Grandpa gave him a shell from the "real guns". He even got to meet some of the soldiers and see their guns up close. Alexis was all for the cookies and juice. :)
The weekend was short, but a nice way to break in the summer at the cabin. Hopefully we'll be back up there in a few weeks...for a much longer stay!
On the way back to the mainland we pass this very large and beautiful log home. Cole looks over and says "Look mom, a Lincoln log house!" He thought that was pretty cool.
Then on the car ride home he's shaking his "bullet" in this little M&M container he has. I asked him to stop 2 times. The third time I look at him and he says "it's not driving me insane"
Eric and I couldn't help but laugh at that one.
He's a character. He also told me today as we were playing in the living room "mom, you should really put these cords for the blinds up so Baby Doll doesn't play in them" Ok Cole.
But he does have many many funny moments, like the other day in the car. We are driving and he says to me "Mom, I have some bad news for you". I am a bit concerned because I don't know what bad news he has. "mom, my baby has just puked in the car" and Alexis is making these silly fake puking noises. I start laughing...it was too funny! Again I hear "Mom, I have some really bad new for you...my baby keeps puking in the car" they are just giggling back there going on with this whole puking baby thing. Where it comes from, I don't know...but they sure are good comic relief!
One of Alexis's favorite games to play on you is to wipe off your kisses. She will look at you with a grin on her face after you kiss her and wipe her face with her hands and yell "wipe off". She knows she's being a stinker too. But she is talking more and more all the time. Soon I'm sure I'll never be able to get the two of them to be quiet!
