Nate is on his ER rotation, so he had to work through the weekend. On Saturday, my friend called and invited us to go out to Vermilion and check it out.
Such a cute little town!!
And the drive was beautiful! We drove along the Lake Erie shoreline all the way there, and I had to keep forcing myself to quit looking at the houses for fear that I would run off the road. I need to talk Nate into driving out there with me so I can get a better look!
We got into town and looked around, here are some pictures of what this fun little town looks like...
View from a bridge in town.
We stopped and ate a snack at this cute little picnic table near the river.
In front of the bridge.
We found a fun little ice cream shop and the kids had their own cute little ice cream cones!
Cute girl pose!
View of some houses. These people can park their boats in front of their house. It was such a pretty place!
Playing at the beach.
Doing his usual sand throwing. He didn't like to touch the water.
Houses along the beach.On Sunday we went to church, Nate was at the hospital. It isn't easy to take the kids to church on my own. I was the only primary teacher that showed up, it was an interesting day! Gracen isn't too fond of nursery. He screamed when I left him and when I walked down to check on him my wonderful friends had heard him from across the hall and went in to sit with him. He was doing good until they had to leave. Then the primary president ended up going in and taking him out for a walk to calm him down. Funny, cause he doesn't even know her. He would much rather leave the nursery with toys and friends to go walk the halls with someone he doesn't know. She had to take him out a few times, but he wasn't crying and was all smiles when I walked down to pick him up. I'm hoping he starts to do better soon!
Nate finally had the day off on Monday!! Here are some highlights from the day...
- Pancakes for breakfast
- Memorial Day parade. The kids got lots of candy.
- BBQ at the park with some friends.
- Gracen took a bite of dog poop while we were at the park(very gross). We cleaned out his mouth and Nate asked him if it was yucky and he shook his head no. Then Nate asked if he liked it and he nodded, yes! He now knows that dog poop is "ucky"
- It was really windy and cold so we left and went to our friends house to hang out and let the kids play.
Watching the parade!

If you ever want to vent about taking kids to church alone, I am hear for you! I second it that it is hard to do!
I am glad you were able to have some time with your entire family over the weekend!
Thanks for all you do in primary!
It sounds like you had a fun weekend! I know how hard it is to go to church alone with the kids, except I usually have 4 or 5! Gracen will get use to going nursery. If he is like Ashton he will start to like it and have fun there and then when you least expect it he will go back to crying when you leave him! He also liked to walk the halls. One of our neighbors was a nursery leader and he would always take Ashton from me at the nursery door and then when he got upset would walk the halls with him. I felt bad one day and tried to give him a break and take Ashton with me and he wouldn't let me!
Sounds like a fun weekend. Congrats Brynlee on graduations. You will do great in 4 year old preschool
