Labor Day Weekend - Saturday

After awakening at oh-dark-thirty, we loaded up in the truck to head to the airport to fly to Ohio to visit JuJu, Unkie Roy and Aunt Julie. Thomas was great on the plane until the stewardess offered him one of every snack. She must not have kids. Unkie Roy picked us up at the airport and we got back to JuJu's for a huge breakfast. JuJu had quite a collection of toys that were new to Thomas, so it didn't take long for sensory overload to kick in. Reluctantly, Thomas finally took a nap after which we headed down the hill to the nature preserve. There we waded in the water and chased water sliders, crawdads, salamanders, frogs and toads. There were amazing fossils everywhere as it used to be a reef millions of years ago. The phrase of the afternoon was "WAZZAT?" with the cute little shoulder shrug. All in all, Thomas had a blast "SPASHHH"ing and getting wet and dirty.

After getting filthy in the creek, Thomas rinsed off in the frog pool and blew "BUBBULS" in JuJu's backyard. Then it was dinner and bedtime after a long day of travel and fun.
