What a busy few weeks this has been for Ethan. Saturday July 24th was his cousin's Macey & Kaitlin's birthdays. He went out for dinner with us to celebrate with Macey for her birthday. Then the next Sat. was his daddy's b-day. Ethan went shopping with me earlier in the week to purchase Matt's birthday gift then on Matt's birthday we took him out for a birthday brunch then later on we met with everyone for a birthday dinner for Matt where we gave him his gift. Everyone chipped in to get him an IPod Touch. THEN the next day we took Ethan to the Lucas County Fair. He had a blast!! He got to see horses, cows, sheep, goats, & he went on a little pony ride. He left the fair with a few prizes b/c MomMom & Dada kept winning at the games. His wagon was so full at one point that he barely had room to sit!! He loves his prizes though. Later that night he went with us to the final Music Under the Stars concert. He had a great time mooching cookies from his Grammy Judy. Ethan really enjoys listening to the music. He was clapping along with the songs & asking the band to sing when they would finish a piece. Tues we took him to Port Clinton for a little mini vacation to Matt's uncle's condo. We took him for a bike ride, played a little tennis while Ethan sort of shagged balls for us, went swimming, & enjoyed the view of the lake from the porch. It was the first time he has ever slept away from home. He did OK it took some time for us to get him down but he was quiet for the night by 9:45. We took his pack & play so that he would have his own bed to sleep in. Ethan has never co-spept & he has always had his own room, so he is used to having his own space. It worked out well in the end for him. Yesterday we took him to the Wild African Safari. He had so much fun watching the monkey's swing in the trees & he enjoyed the pig races as well. He was not to fond of the drive through safari. He became quite intimidated by the animals sticking their heads in the windows. He decided that he wanted to just sit in his car seat & watch through the closed window. We had so much fun feeding the animals. Some of the Buffolo were big ole piggies. Matt had one that refused to get it's head out of the window so Matt showed it a carrot then threw the carrot out the window. In the mean time I was dealing with another Buffolo that thought I had more food so it was attacking me with it's tongue. Matt started smacking it on the nose telling it "No More" to get it out of the window. The long Horned Steer were not as bad they took their share & moved onto the next car. Ethan really started to get into it towards the end & started feeding the deer. When we got to the giraffes I lifted him through the moon roof so his arm could reach. He got freaked out by their long tongues & yelled no at them then started throwing carrots out the roof at the giraffe. I had a blast feeding the giraffe it was actually pretty cool. After we left the safari we went back to the condo went for a swim then we all showered & got our things packed up to go home. 1 night there was plenty this time for Ethan. We hope to do a weekend sometime in Sept. That should be a good time. So I have tons of pictures to post at the end of this entry. Matt is still on vacation through tomorrow then it is back to work for him. It's been a great week. We are looking forward to the Fulton County Fair that starts Sept. 3.
