Landon most DEFINITELY loved camping!! He's been asking to go to Uncle Greg's trailer since we got home!! Well, actually, he wanted to come home (he told us on Friday "I really really really really really really really want to go home" ... but when asked further, he wanted to bring the trailer home with us!!).Rhonda and Clay came to visit and camp with us too, which was awesome!! It was great to see them again. Drew and Landon played together lots (Drew will be 5 in October). Bailey (who's 8) found herself a little friend in the trailer right beside them (Wrangler's trailer ...) and so we didn't see them much. They were actually "working" at the Clearwater Lake store for the cool and rainy days!! So cute!
Grandma and Grandpa came out on Friday, despite the rain. Grandpa helped Landon and the others roast some marshmallows during a lull in the sprinkling. Then we headed to White Bear for the lawnmower races (this is done every year in Whitebear to kick off the Kyle Rodeo weekend). What a treat ... I've never seen anything like that, that's for sure!!! They had 'smoke-shows' (burning rubber!! LOL), and raced garden tractors. Landon's highlights were going for a ride on the back of the monster truck, and going for a ride in the ambulance (depending on when you ask him, each of these take their turn as favourite). I should clarify - the ambulance ride was with Aunty Yvonne, who was on call for the lawnmower races. She and her partner Doug drove Landon around White Bear for a few minutes while the rest of us had supper in the bar :-D John and I also enjoyed learning that what 'they' say is true, White Bear really DOES have the best wings EVER! LOL
Here's just a good shot of Landon playing with trucks - really concentrating. I like this photo. He played with his new-found friend Kris's trucks the entire time we were there. As it turns out, Kris is the son of another friend from University that I hadn't seen in, oh, 16 years or so!!! So Rhonda, Tracy and I had a good time catching up with each other too!! We were able to get to a drive-in movie together too (along with my sis) which was great ... we saw The Hangover - a great movie to watch with friends.
Landon has entered into the "lookatme!" stage -- with everything he does!! It's either "watch this!" or "Look at me!" or "I'll show you". yayLOTS of firsts for Landon this week: 1) camping, of course; 2) sleeping in a tent -- his preferred sleeping arrangment for the week was sleeping with dad in the tent; 3) sleeping in the bunk (of the trailer); 4) flying a kite; and 5) having a sleep-over with Drew and Bailey (which might've been his preferred sleeping arrangement, but we figured one night was enough!!). It was a great week, and we are all looking forward to doing it again next year!! I can HARDLY wait!!
On Thursday it was windy, so Landon got a chance to fly his first kite. He really enjoyed it actually -- a great activity for him, running!!! LOL
