mikey-in-carMikey loves to go for rides in the car. He usually asks to go to McDonald’s but as soon as we are in the car he asks to go for a longer ride like down to the beach. He doesn’t want to get out of the car… he just wants to take the 45 minute round trip (with a stop for french fries and soda at the end). The weather on Saturday was cloudy and windy but it wasn’t raining so we went. As you can see, Mikey enjoyed the ride. He makes me put the Decemberists on as he really loves “The Rake Song,” a song about infanticide! Beth taught him a sign for the song so we know when that is the one he wants to hear.

This Saturday was a little different than last week. Mikey had gone to camp for the weekend and fortunately the weather was nice. We dropped him off Friday night and because of the three day weekend, we didn’t have to pick him up until Monday afternoon. I had to work on Monday (us regular working stiffs don’t get Columbus Day off) so Michel had to pick him up without me. He had a great time. They had a birthday party on Saturday for a young lady who was there for the weekend. And they did all the things that kids normally do at a camp. He got home exhausted from all the activities over the weekend. He’s scheduled to go again next month. This camp is great and it gives us all a little break.
