This has been a couple weeks filled with field trips! We took a trip to Charleston to see the capital building. We also went to the mall and Jude and Lainey loved the glass elevator!
We went to the fair parade where, sadly, Lainey did not like it. She has always loved parades but this time she didn't. She and I sat in the van and she was happy then! Daddy surprised Jude and took him to the fair and Demo Derby! They had so much fun! Jude said he had to go look in the horticulture building because that's "where Mommy always loves it"- how sweet! They talked a lot about how the vehicles had to be modified to be safe for the derby.
The next week Mamaw and Papaw came and took Jude to Fort Boreman park, had a sleepover at their cabin, and then went on a boat ride over to Blennerhasset Island! They are having trouble with their computer so I'm waiting on pics but will post as soon as we get them! He had so much fun! He talked for 45 mins about all he learned from that trip. He even wrote 5 sentences about it!! He didn't want to ride the carriage so they walked the 3.8 miles around the Island.
Yesterday, Mamaw and Annie-Banie(my aunt) came in Annie's 1967 restored awesome red Camaro and took Jude "cruising" and out to lunch! He and Daddy talked about how engines are different now than in the '60s.
Amidst all that, Jude finished two chapter books! He also asked about cancer so we had a lengthy discussion about that. Because of some health concerns, we have been trying to eat healthier so Jude has been all about nutrition the last few weeks. He has always loved helping in the kitchen and this week he made lasagna and salad.
He also of course has been doing science experiments. We did a really cool one that made like a lava lamp. Jude did a video and I'll try to post it soon.
The kids and I also had a over-night stay in Columbus with Mamaw for two apts for Lainey. The kids had a blast. Lainey loved holding a balloon! go figure, she's afraid of balls lol. Lainey has been walking like crazy and so very proud of herself! She sat in the booths at the restaurants. She is too big for the highchairs but needs to be kind of restrained. She loved it and did wonderful!
This week Jude chose books about the Titanic and China at the library. So hopefully we will have some fun crafts pics to post soon!
The derby line-up.
This is a picture in the horticulture building at the fair of my favorite flower- "black-eyed Susies" as Jude calls them-melts my heart!
Thought she was being too quite! This never happens with cheap paper towels- only the expensive ones! LOL
