stuff.

I feel like we've had a very busy month and it's only June 5th.  I also feel like May flew by and I think June is about to do the same thing.  Still searching for the perfect job.  The one that makes it worth not being with Henry every day.  Haven't found it yet. 

Here are some photos.

We went to my sister's cottage for Memorial Day weekend.  Henry spent most of his time on the sand pile.  It was a little chilly but other than that, perfect weather. 

 And he took photos.

 And he drove the pontoon boat.  Don't worry, that's not his gin and tonic.


 We went to Ocqueoc Falls, which I believe are the only waterfalls in the Lower Peninsula.  Since we've had so much rain, the water was really high and really fast.  Henry especially loved the giant rocky landscape that are also stairs down to the falls.  It was all fun and games until as my brother-in-law's-brother said, "Uh oh, looks like the sporting goods section of the local WalMart just closed and everyone came here."  Henry and I were amazed and in awe of all the redneckness. 

 Henry caught his first fish!  And if the DNR asks, his mom-mom without the fishing license was not the one helping him.  Nope. 

The other day Henry said his car needed to be washed.  He can use the hose on his own now.  Scary.

He wasn't sure about the tube slide but I went down with him once and he was hooked.  Thankfully he didn't need me to go down again because it hurt.  Not only could I not sit up all the way so my elbows and head were getting knocked around, I was wearing Tevas which meant I was also getting shocked by the static electricity the whole way down.  He loved the echo when I yelled up at him to hurry up which meant yelling didn't make him hurry, it just made him laugh and want me to yell some more.  

We went to the Lansing Symphony Orchestra concert in the park tonight.  I wasn't sure how long we would be able to stay since it didn't start until 7 and my kid goes to bed by 8:30 but starts winding down around 7 or 7:30.  He did a great job and we stayed for the first half of the concert.  It was 80's music so Henry had to endure lots of embarrassing dancing by his mom-mom.  The little girl sitting in front of us thought I was hilarious.  It's good to know that we can do stuff like that and he can keep his shit together even though he's exhausted from a long day of playing and baking cookies and checking under rocks for bugs.  No chicken recon, I'll have to explain that another day.

Night night.
