So this weekend started on Saturday when we drove to PA for my cousin Jonathan's birthday. Charlie has such a blast playing with Jonathan's son Paul. He could not sit still to eat -- he wanted to play trucks with Paul! The wedding was fun. It was nice to not have to worry about working for once. I think this is the first wedding that Charles and I have been to together that we were not taking pictures. By the end of the evening we were tired and had a long drive home. I got the privilege of driving the 3.5 hours home and even got to add to the time by taking the wrong way around the beltway. Charles was helpful enough to wake up every now and than only to comment later on my "aggressive" driving.
We had to be up early on Sunday for some church responsibilities. Poor Charlie fell asleep in the car and woke up in the car. He probably thought he had been in there the whole time. We had a blast in Sunday school. We also got to meet the absolutely adorable and tiny baby Levi!
Sunday was also Grandpa Charlie's birthday. So we got to have dinner with Grandpa, Grandma, and John. Also, it was a great time to have cake and ice cream also!
I think the most special thing we got to do was on Monday Charles took the day off and took us to Cox Farm. I have lived here my entire life and have never heard of Cox until we moved out here. It was a blast! It was a little hot, but the weekday afternoon was perfect since it was not crowded. Charlie got to go down all the really large slides, pet and feed the goats, and he loved the apples! He walked around for about 40 minutes until he finished the apple. He really wants to go back with his cousins another day. Mommy and Daddy are recovering from carrying him up the steep hills (it was hard enough for Mommy to get up the hill alone, not to mention getting up off the slide at the bottom). Charlie's favorite thing was the hay ride. he did it back to back he liked it so much. He really wanted to go again, but it was time to move on. Charlie also got to pick out his own pumpkin and has since given it a ride in his big truck. After such a long weekend it may take a day or two to recover!
