Finn’s Special Day with Mom and Dad

-


On June 23rd (right after Sam and Will went home with Grandad and Gigi), Michael and I got the rare opportunity to spend some special time with Finn.  Finn was scheduled to go to church camp the following Monday and was unable to go with the other boys to Grandad's house.  We decided that it would be fun to have a "special day" with Finn.  We had just recently told him that he and Sam would be switching schools in the Fall  and wanted to really spend time making him smile.

We took him to Five Guys for dinner and then we went to see "Solo" at the movie theater. Finn had a great time.  This is a picture of him at the end of the movie.  He demanded that we stay until the credits rolled so that we could see the hidden clip.  Well, as it turns out since this was not an official Star Wars movie, there was no hidden clip at the end.  We all had a good laugh and made our way home.   It is great to have your family all together - but it is also pretty special to spend time focusing on one at a time.

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!
