Vacation (aka Time with Mommy!)

This week, Jackson and mommy have been "on vacation."  We left on Friday morning to drive to Cincinnati. No more than we were in the car, Jackson was asking about more stop lights.  This mommy is SUPER happy that there are no stop lights or stop signs on the interstate.  He also was counting things... any thing.  Twenty-one, twenty-two.... twenty-eight, twenty-nine....  Twenty-ten!?!?!?  It was super cute.  We are so grateful that Jackson travels as well as he does.

We spent the first weekend of our vacation at Mamawk's and Papaw's house.  We celebrated Caitlin's bridal shower.  I think Jackson missed his mommy a little over the weekend as I was really busy with shower stuff.  Jackson did help make seashell cookies on Saturday.  Papaw also got out old Disney VHS tapes for Jackson.  He watched some movies from his recliner.  We left on Sunday evening after the shower to head to Gram's house.  On our trip to Evansville, we learned that Ayden broke his femur tripping over his tractor in his yard. Poor guy.

The first two days of our vacation in Evansville rained.  Jackson, Grams and I spent Monday morning at the hospital with Ayden.  Jackson did pretty good for an-almost-three-year-old at the hospital.  By the time we left, he was hungry AND ready for nap.  He got to wrestled a little with Grams.  We met up with Dr. Ehlen on Wednesday for lunch at USI.  Jackson was walking around campus with me, telling me how big and nice mommy's school is.  He got a lot of looks from the college students.

"Mommy, your school is so big.  My school isn't this big. This is a nice school, Mommy."

We went the bookstore and had lunch and then headed home.  Yup, for a nap!

Then we FINALLY got to hit up the Fall Festival on Wednesday night and again on Thursday afternoon.  Both times, Jackson wanted a corn dog.  He did better this year than last year.  Last year, mommy told him not to drop his corn dog and he didn't even get one bite of it before it hit the ground.  This year, he managed not to drop either corn dog.  He was also very much a people watcher at the festival.  At least he didn't say anything inappropriate!

A few more days and we are headed back home to Ohio!
