On Saturday, I got to hang out with my grandpa! Both Grandma and Grandpa Benner came up on Saturday. We went and looked at some houses; we already had seen two of them, but Mommy and Daddy are really excited about the new one we looked at. They have some more talking to do, but it looks like we might have found a winner!
After we went to go see the houses, Mommy and Grandma went shopping down in Fort Wayne. Mommy got a lot of pretty clothes. She showed them to us when they got home... she even wore her new capris and polo yesterday! While Mommy and Grandma were shopping, Grandpa, Daddy, and I went to lunch and had... you guessed it... ICE CREAM! None of this SuperMan business... we're talking Triple Chocolate Overload! It was super tasty. Afterwards, I came home, took a nap, and got recharged for the rest of the day. I love taking naps... I mean, I don't, but I feel better after I get some shuteye! Daddy and Grandpa cleaned out the cars and even vaccumed. It's nice to have a clean car.
Grandma and Grandpa had a long drive home, so they left before dinner, but I had a lot of fun spending time with my Grandpa and Grandma. I hope that once we get a house, you can stay longer.After Grandma and Grandpa went home, we got all packed up for our big trip to Papaw and Nini's house.
Today was our "official kick of to summer" day! We definitely did things a little differently this year, but I think everyone enjoyed it a little more. Last night we went to Papaw and Nini's house and stayed the night. Mommy and Daddy camped out in the tent, while I slept in the house because my allergies are WAY too bad at the lake to sleep outside. This morning Nini made breakfast--It was delicious Nini, THANK YOU!-- and then the we all headed out to go fishing! Everyone caught at least one fish, too! Daddy caught the biggest one and Mommy caught the most pregnant one. I caught my first fish ever today!
Last week Mommy and Daddy bought me a "Cars" fishing pole. Today I got to put it to full use and it came in handy for catching my first fish ever! I caught a bluegill that was keeper size! Mommy hooked it, and I reeled it in and held it up for a picture. It sure was a beautiful fish, and I'm sure it will make some delicious dinner. Daddy cleaned all of the fish while I watched. What a messy job! But, somebody has to do it if we want to eat them for dinner :-)
Also while we were at the lake, we saw some snakes. TWO OF THEM! Last week Papaw saved the day by getting rid of one. This week we saw two. A baby and a big one. They are so yucky and they swim really fast in the water. As long as they stay away from me it will be okay!
Cora got to swim today too! She sure loves the water. She did better this week than last, and we are pretty confident that she will be a professional swimmer by the end of the summer. I watched her swim, and retrieve big sticks from the water when Daddy threw them out. She did such a good job and a few times, while Mommy was inside helping with lunch she could hear me say "Good Job, Cora". It was very fun watching her learn to swim.
After coming home from the lake we went to my favorite place in town. SCOOPS ICECREAM! Mommy and I shared a new icecream called "SuperMan" I chowed it down, but Mommy said not to get my heart set on it because she didn't care for it. They were out of her regular Orange Sherbert. I love Scoops Icecream!
Our family hopes that you all had a great and safe Memorial Day weekend. We hope you were able to kick off your summer the right way; with lake fun, fun in the sun, and lots of grilling. But, more importantly we hope you take the time to pray for the soliders who are fighting for our freedom to have fun in the sun, and freedom to cook out on our grills. We hope you remember those who have made and are making our "Summer Kick-off weekend" possible.
