Auntie Melissa and Camden Visit (3.5 years and 23.5 months)

Melissa came in on Wednesday night.  My schedule this week was supposed to be Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday but I switched and worked Monday instead of Friday.  On Thursday night Melissa and Camden came over and we went to Chick Fil A for dinner.  They were having a celebration with all kids of games and prizes.  We had dinner. Then kids played on the playground, and then we played games outside.  Austin enjoyed spinning the wheel for prizes.  We won a lot of free food from Chick Fil A.

On Friday, Melissa, Camden, Austin, Sydney, and I went to the Cleveland Zoo.  We have been there a lot lately but this was Camden's first trip so it was great.  The kids even got to feed the giraffes.  The kids really like the zoo.  We had McDonald's for lunch.  We went home and the kids slept in the car.  However once we got back home Camden decided he didn't want to take a nap.  It was crazy.  He's the youngest and didn't even nap.

On Saturday we went to Memphis Kiddie Park.  It is a little amusement park for young kids.  They have about 10 rides there.  From one of the local mommy clubs we had a discounted price and the kids could ride all they wanted for 2 hours.  Austin, Sydney, and Camden loved it!  Camden did so well.  He would ride by himself like a big boy. We had a great day there.

That evening we had dinner at our house with our aunts and cousin Lauren from Cleveland.  It was great seeing them.  We don't get to see them often. Lauren is having a baby next month so it's great talking with her and remembering back to when that was us.

On Sunday, we went to Wild Water Kingdom.  The kids love it there.  I am so happy we got passes.  Camden was a little young for it.  He did enjoy the water and all and all it worked out fine.  Austin and Sydney love water too.  I am so grateful for that.  I love swimming in a pool.  It's a great summer activity for us.

On Monday, we went to a picnic for the local mommy club.  It was raining so we didn't stay too long.  Then we went to McDonald's for ice cream.  The kids of course loved it.

We had such a fun week with Melissa and Camden.  Camden is such a cute little boy.  He enjoyed playing with his cousins.  It made me wish they lived closer.  Everyone had such a good time together.  Hopefully we will see them again soon.  It's sad not being able to see Camden grow up.  Kids grow so fast and next time I see him he'll be so different.  Luckily we do get to see them a few times a year.

Austin found a frog in our backyard.  He really liked him a lot.  He was so gentle trying to catch him and put him down to play.  He was sad when we had to go inside for the night.  Luckily he found him several times so he could continue to play with him.
