Weekend Away

Last weekend Brian had his annual boys weekend at a cabin in northern MN so the kids and I had a fun-filled weekend trying to stay cool in our record breaking heat (93 on Sunday!) We had a great time. I took Friday off and Cameron & I spent the day together and I was continually reminded of "what Daddy usually does". It was quite funny because throughout the entire day Cameron would tell me what the routine was with Daddy and if I deviated at all he would say, "that's not usually what Daddy does next, usually we do ...." At one point he gave me turn-by-turn directions to Costco and told me where "Daddy usually parks." It was quite funny.
On Sunday I went with the neighbors to an event called "Touch-a-Truck" it was exactly what it sounds like, we went to a huge open parking lot where there were lots of different trucks that you could go into. Firetrucks, ambulances, buses, cement trucks, garbage trucks, the Amazon "treasure truck". I thought Cameron would love it and he sort of did; from afar. He would pick out a truck, we would wait in line and then when it was his turn to go in he would get scared and not go in it. By the 3rd truck I was onto him and it was already 90 degrees out so we skipped the lines and just opted to go up to them without waiting to go in. Then the whining set in (I blame the heat) so we took off and decided to head to the neighborhood pool. I was a little worried about having both kids without Brian but a bunch of our neighborhood friends and kids all decided to go so I had some extra help. It was super fun and a perfect day to be at the pool. Addy learned how to dive down and get things off the bottom of the pool!
We had another get together on Monday after school and all of the kids enjoyed running through the sprinklers and eating popsicles. It is so nice to have so many families nearby to hangout with, I think it's going to be a great summer. Brian got back on Tuesday and we were very happy to have him back! We had fun but things are much better with Daddy around!
