It started out Friday evening with a surprise call from Kim, wanting to know if I wanted to get in some "Sawyer time" that night. Are you kidding me?! Of course! I suggested they bring Sawyer over for a sleepover, so they did! I love Sawyer sleepovers!
We had pizza for dinner. As you can plainly see, Sawyer likes pizza . . .
I know it looks bad, but he cleaned up very nicely! He sure can cram some pizza into his little mouth.
After dinner, Sawyer and I went out for a ride on the golf cart. He *loves* to ride around the camp. We went down the low road and saw this . . .
At first I was very startled, but then I remembered that we had the Christian Southern Archers coming out on Saturday for an event, and they'd already set up their targets. Sawyer didn't know the difference, though, and for the rest of our sixty-minute ride, he growled at every animal we came upon.
Especially this big ol' guy, up in the upper meadow. Even when we got close enough to touch it, Sawyer just growled and growled. It's very funny to listen to and even funnier when you know that he's actually mimicking his Aunt Jocelyn's cat, Leia (who growls at most everyone).
Sawyer even growled at this fellow . . .
Can you see the little Frog Prince in the center of the photo? Every time he jumped, so did Sawyer.
And I couldn't get a smile out of him for the life of me -- he was too intent on all the animals. He was hard-pressed to look away from them long enough for him to look at me!
Back at the RV, I turned on our happy lights and he amused himself walking up and down the stairs about a million times.
And once we were cleaned up and in our "escape proof" pj's, he still wanted to go outside!
We had a good night's sleep and his mommy and daddy picked him up early, to go visit Kim's dad. After checking on the archery group that was already up at the camp, I headed to the grocery store. It was a relatively quiet day, with Todd working down on the dock, and me doing domestic things and working on the ministry's newsletter, when a violent storm popped up and passed through the camp.
It took with it a couple of trees, including this one which came down over the main road *and* the road into the main camping area.
And yes, if you look closely enough, those are power lines and we were (once again) without power. I've never been so thankful for my husband's foresight than when he purchased that generator!
Saturday night we went to sleep lulled by the sounds of the cranked generator. We got up Sunday morning for a happy Father's Day breakfast of french toast and bacon -- Todd's favorite!
A quick call to Huntsville Utilities confirmed they did still have our repair ticket and that they'd get to us when they could. *sigh*
Sunday was a hot, hot day. Our raccoon visitor stopped by and took a little dip.
He really is very cute!
Later that afternoon, everyone came up for a little Father's Day get-together. We celebrated with Todd's favorite; a Carvel ice cream cake. I think it may be Sawyer's too.
Just take a look at the blue from the ice cream frosting, around his mouth!
Then Todd got down to business and opened presents!
He was very pleased and surprised by the Kindle! Yay!
And I couldn't post it on my blog on Friday, but this was actually the first Kindle holder I made! One for my dear man's new toy. :)
Sawyer makes himself right at home. I found my old cell phone for him to play with. He loves to carry around cell phones and remotes!
And here are the hers and his Kindle cases! We'll always be able to tell our Kindles apart.
And this morning, I played around just a little bit with quilted postcards.
This is definitely something I'm going to need to play around with more and get in lots of practice. I did two different techniques for securing them (mainly because I wasn't real pleased with how the first one turned out), but the second one did better. This will be a fun past time when I feel the urgent need to create. I even got them in today's mail!
Whew. I need a week to rest from the weekend!
