A Lil' Staycation... and a list of demands

Johnathon went on his summer visitation with his dad... man that was a rocky two weeks... I kept telling him that we would make up for our time apart, and even though we couldnt afford to leave town.. that we would vacation together at home, and we would pretend we were visiting our home from another state... and his job was to come up with a list of things he would like to do on our vacation....
First on the list- Sister
He missed his pets and his sister sooo much, that was day number one, a day at home with a dinner party to celebrate

The following morning he couldnt wait to show off his newly aquired cooking skills that he picked up from his dad... he made scrambled eggs, it was delicious

Then the tour of our own state began... here we are in library square down town... it was such a fun day playing tourist... looking at all the fountains, and sculptures and paintings....

We drank italian sodas and ate ice cream... yum!!

Sat on the roof top garden... and watched some bee keeping ...

Read some books in the librarys cool crystal cave

I think the water is his favorite thing no matter where we go... he finds it

Next on the list was a picnic with betty... it is waaayyy too hot to do this for lunch... so we made it an early morning breakfast picnice at the parkThere is my betty... playing with him on the play ground

Sliding with him on the slide...

And ofcourse swinging with him on the swings

Here she is teaching him how to make jacobs ladder, and the witches broom...

Next we headed up to park city.... to the olympic park!!

He loved the bobsleds

and watching the ski jumps into the pool

This is his face at the bottom of the ski lft

He is starting to look alot more concerned... as he should... because we took the zip line down... LOL it was a total blast... here let me see if i can get the video to attach!!!

Into the Museum next!!

And ofcourse the HUGE sign outside... Yes, thats the lil man standing at the bottom, looks like an ant!!!

Last but not least was his day in the sun at the waterslide.... OH MY five hours and several applications of sunblock later... he is tucked bed sound asleep at a very early hour

He has so much fun.. and went down all the slides a million times....

Its SOOOO Good to have him home!!!
