Jurassic Park

-
Monday morning Finn and I woke up and went straight down to breakfast.  Finn ate three Krispy Kreme doughnuts!  After breakfast we started packing up.  Here we have a picture of the boys watching me load a few things into the trunk.


 Before turning in the key we tooky one last picture of Gran and the boys.

 We had a little creek behind the lodge and we promised Finn that he could go see it before we left.

 After leaving the Lodge we made a quick stop at the Christmas store. Gran got me a Christopher Radko "pocket watch" ornament for Christmas, she got Finn a gingerbread ornament and I picked out a small, hand carved nativity scene ornament for Sam.  As I had feared, Finn was like a bull in a china shop.  Thankfully we made it out without breaking anything.



Last picture of the day.  Thank you Gran and Pa for a wonderful trip.  I was able to make so many happy memories with you two and the boys. We had a ball.  We love you.
Erin, Michael, Finn and Sam.

We made it home around 5:00.  When we got home I saw that Jurassic Park III was on TV.  Out of curiosity I turned it on and let Finn watch for a few minutes.   He was engrossed immediately.  Michael did not want him to watch because he thought that Finn would get scared.  I asked Finn if the dinosaurs were too scary for him and he said, "no mom, they are perfect for me."  The very next scene an actors head was torn off by a big dinosaur.   I know, great parenting.  Michael was mortified.  Finn looked at me and very matter-a-factly said, "that man's head just got ate."  I again asked him if it was too scary and he said no.  He watched most of the movie before bed and didn't seem the least big scared.  He asked me to rewind many of the mean dinosaur parts as they were his favorite.

    You need to write a book of Finn's cute, (and very advanced) sayings.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
