Full Day

After getting Declan up and having breakfast all together I stole Declan away and took him to play at Chudleigh's Farm. We hit the farm animal area first. Declan really isn't too interested in animals. Just doesn't seem to care. There was a small amount of interest over chickens until the rooster crowed really loud and Declan wanted to leave. 

So on that we headed over to the giant play structure. Declan was keen so we climbed a big ladder together, strolled over the swinging bridge to the top of the big slide. We sat down together at the too and "whoosh!" Holy S&$T! That was fast. We flew off the end. 

"Want to go again Declan?"

"No."

And that was that.

We'd been there a whole 20 minutes max.

Then jackpot.

A mini barn and huge pit of sand. The kid LOVES sand. 

Declan spent over an hour playing in the sand. Sometimes with other kids and other times happily on his own. He just loves it.

There were tears when after being there for an hour and a half we needed to head out. We picked up some sidewalk chalk for later and were on our way home.

Just minutes after getting home Grandma arrived. She graciously hung out with Declan through his lunch and some time before his nap so Mommy and Daddy could head to a movie. Sounded like he was a good boy and even put himself to bed for nap time. What a nut.

After his nap Declan and I played out back with the new sidewalk chalk making lots of pictures on our back patio and followed that up with water balloons to help clean everything up. Then even I was getting tired. After dinner and a bath Declan was off to bed and it certainly didn't take him long to fall asleep. What a fun, filling day. 

Love him.
