Family Trip

This week the Lemiere's went to Eagle Crest for a family trip. We haven't taken one with everybody in a long time - a really long time. We golfed, rode bikes (Kaed has been impressive in his newfound bike riding abilities), swam, tennis, spray park, played card/board games, took naps and ate a lot of good food.

Dash has been busting us up all week. He swims now - with the help of an inflated donut - all by himself. He smeared some pink washable ink on his face one night and looked like he put on some eye shadow. He golfed for the first time on an 18 hole putt-putt course and knows the difference between taking a full swing and tapping it in - or as he says "tappy in". Dad gave him some deoderant too and loves to make everyone smell his pits. Very cute, but kinda gross. Oh, and Kaed announced, with all seriousness, that he can't wait to get armpit hair. Why? Who knows.

Amber and Dash seemed to have bonded a bit too this week. In the past, he's been kind of stand-off-ish toward her, but he seems to be content to hang out with her now. Which is good. Maybe it's because he felt bad for her because she walked full steam into a screen door and exfoliated her face. I don't know?

Kaed's had a good week here. Along with riding his bike very well, he's been an excellent swimmer. He's also tried new foods without much complaint - which is good because he can be picky at times. And most importantly, he's been a great big brother this week! He and Dash and Amber went running through the sprinkler's last night on the golf course and they were screaming and giggling the whole time.

Sounds like a blast! I find it hard to believe that you were not running through the sprinklers and giggling with them.
