Adventures with Aunt Kari

Aunt Kari came for a visit last week and we all kind of fun adventures.  The first day she was here the sun was actually out so we went miniature golfing, which I love.  I played a great game and totally beat Aunt K.

I think Sydney had fun too, although she let Mom hit most of her balls.  If Mom didn't make a hole in one, Syd would pick up the ball and dump it in the hole for her.  Near the end of the game, Syd tried hitting with the club a few times, but she still thought it was easier to just put the ball where she wanted it.

Throwing the ball into the barn with her hand.

The second day Aunt Kari was here was really busy.  We went swimming which was so much fun and I got to stay home from school.  Then we made cars to watch a drive-in movie at home later that night.

Sydney was sick last week, and the only place she would nap was on Mom.  So this is how Mom spent almost every afternoon--stuck on the couch.

While Mom was being a lazy bum on the couch, Aunt Kari let me go running with her.  Aunt K is training for an Ironman Triathlon, so I knew I had to show her a good running route.  We ended up running (and maybe a little walking) over 2 1/2 miles! I think Aunt Kari definitely got a good workout.

That night we watched "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" at our home drive-in.  It was awesome!

We went to a Bouncy Place the next day. Mom loves her iphone camera, but it sure doesn't take very good action shots. 



Syd did a great job climbing up the slides all by herself and wasn't even afraid to go down them when they were so high!

 

When we weren't off on adventures, Aunt Kari read to me from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" while I listened inside my pillow fort.

Don't let this pic of Syd with Aunt Kari fool you. Sydney was totally set up. Mom had the camera ready and as soon as Sydney came walking around the corner, Aunt Kari grabbed her. Sydney was so surprised, she couldn't help but smile for a split second which Mom was lucky enough to catch.

This is how Sydney really was during most of Kari's visit:

Since she was sick and miserable, all she wanted was Mom.

Mom and Aunt Kari--can you believe how giant Mom's belly is getting???  And she still has three months to go before my new baby sister is here.

It was so fun having Aunt Kari here.  I can't wait to see her again and have more adventures! Hopefully Sydney will be nicer to her next time.
