SUNDAY, JUNE 17
Happy Father’s Day! Todd’s first tent camping experience was a success! He slept longer than he normally does at home…

In the morning, Todd visited the dogs in the neighboring camp and did some swinging in their rope swing. Next, we rode our scooters to the playground and the beach.

We bought some snacks and dinosaur toys at the little store just before Todd (appearing tired) said, “I’m just ready to go.” In the afternoon, my parents came over to our place to visit. After swimming in the pool, Todd’s favorite thing to do was play fight with Grandpa. Then, he promptly fell asleep (before he had a chance to eat any dinner), so we carried him straight to bed.

MONDAY, JUNE 18
We went to Slidewaters (Chelan, WA) for the first time this summer. (This year we have season’s passes…yay!) Naturally, we were all excited.
Highlights were: Todd tried the #4 (“Whitewater) intermediate slide by himself for the first time. (He just has to be caught at the bottom.) He loves going on the first 2 intermediate slides completely by himself.

After sliding, we stopped in Chelan for coffee and to do a ‘drive -through’ of the city campground my family used to stay at. Next, we took my parents to Tunnel Hill Winery. We found some rubber ducks by the waterfall to play with. Todd found sprinklers to run through on the way back to the car.

As if the day wasn’t busy enough, we returned to my parents’ camp site on the way home from the waterslides. We rode scooters to the playground and the beach. Todd stripped naked at water’s edge to play, while Grandma fixed dinner. While we ate, Todd faded fast! He said, “I’m getting tired.”

Dinner
TUESDAY, JUNE 19
This was the last full day that my parents were in town. They did their own thing in the morning, while Eric took Todd to the ‘new park’ (Eastmont). In the afternoon/evening, they came over for dinner. Todd had one last chance to fight with Grandpa for this visit…
