Team i6 Takes on Playing Catch Up...with Week 139

Whew, what a wild past couple of weeks!  Let's catch up a little shall we?  OK!

We headed to Cleveland for a long weekend visit with the i6 family.  There was a lot tosee and do this visit.  We got in Friday and got settled had dinner and once Linc was in bed we headed out to see our Sister-in-law Taryn sing with a band at a local bar.  She was awesome!  Not only was it fun to get out and have a little Lincoln-free time but it was great seeing her perform.

The next day we headed to Jellystone (or Round up Lake as it is now known).  Linc had fun playing in sand with this cousins and we had the treat of seeing an old statue of Yogi Bear being rescued from "sea"...someone had taken one of the stored Yogis that were still back behind one of the sheds on the grounds and put him in the lake and swam him out to a little island on the small lake.  The workers had to go out on a boat and retrieve him.  It was pretty funny to watch.  Daddy also took Linc fishing, and even though it didn't last very long I think they both had a good time.

The next day we headed back to the suburbs to meet up with our friends The Acks' who happened to be in town for a wedding.  It was so great to see them and hang out for a few hours.  It had been since March or April maybe since we had seen them! 

After that we headed to Beachwood to check out Beachwood Days and play at a park and take part in all sorts of fun festivities.  Linc got to ride a pony and play in all sorts of fun bouncy houses and see firetrucks and eat Popsicles, what a fun day!

Then it was Labor Day and almost time for us to hop in the car and head home, but first we stopped by Grandma's school for a Kosher Rib Burn-off.  We didn't have any ribs but we had some really tasty falaffel and Linc had some more fun with bouncy houses, and we all got our share of sun (Mommy may have gotten the most, opps).

It was a really fun visit, as always, and Linc was tuckered out and asleep before we even hit the interstate!

And yes, he fell asleep with that book in his arms, we took Daddy's car for this trip and he had that book on the floor of the back seat and Linc would not stop crying until we gave it to him and then he promptly fell asleep.  Future computer engineer?  I think it is in his dna. ;-)

And another funny story of note...we took the dogs with us and they sat in the backseat next to Linc's carseat.  Well every once in a while they would get up and move around or peek over at Lincoln.  If Linc was in a good mood then he thought it was funny, if he was not then he would complain that the puppies were smelling him...  I guess that is what life with a sibling is going to be like for him.

The beginning of the week brought Linc's first day of Preschool!  He was so excited to become a Blueberry and start in his new class.  He was a natural, he got a great first day report...came home in completely different clothes (typical Lincoln though).  Glad I grabbed a quick snapshot of him before his first day outside our front door.  He is such a big boy now!

The rest of the week flew by.  Between getting ready for a Disney trip, Daddy's birthday, and me getting things settled at work for me to be away for a week, before we knew it it was vacation time.  More on that very soon!
